Uranus’s Swaying Moons will Help Spacecraft Seek Out Hidden Oceans
When NASA’s Voyager 2 flew by Uranus in 1986, it captured grainy photographs of large ice-covered moons. Now nearly 40 years later, NASA plans to send another spacecraft to Uranus, this time equipped to see if those icy moons are hiding liquid water oceans. The mission is still in an early planning stage. But researchers… Continue Reading Uranus’s Swaying Moons will Help Spacecraft Seek Out Hidden Oceans
Visiting Scholar Program 2025
The University of Texas Institute for Geophysics (UTIG) invites applications for its Visiting Scholar Program. We seek to host scientists from the early-career faculty or researcher to senior scholar level for research visits to UTIG to foster new and strengthen existing collaborations and enhance scientific discourse. Visits may last from a few weeks to as… Continue Reading Visiting Scholar Program 2025
‘Giant Lab Experiment’ Leads to New Model for Predicting Landslides – Banner
Landslides are a perennial threat in California, where the geology and steep topography mean the land is more prone to slipping than in other places. Now, researchers at the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics and UC Santa Cruz studying two large Northern California landslides think they’ve found the key to predicting landslide motion hidden… Continue Reading ‘Giant Lab Experiment’ Leads to New Model for Predicting Landslides – Banner
