Newly Discovered Salty Subglacial Lakes Could Help Search for Life in Solar System
Researchers from the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics (UTIG) have helped discover the first subglacial lakes ever found in the Canadian High Arctic. The two new lakes are a potential habitat for microbial life and may assist scientists in the search for life beyond Earth, particularly on Jupiter’s icy moon Europa. The findings, published April 11 in Science Advances, were made possible… Continue Reading Newly Discovered Salty Subglacial Lakes Could Help Search for Life in Solar System

Fall 2002 Design Challenge Teams
The Fall 2002 TSGC Design Challenge is considered the “test bed” of the present-day program. Three teams from three Texas institutions developed and brought their own design topics to TSGC to help give the program its start. Meet the Fall 2002 Design Challenge Teams and read a profile of each design project. TSGC STUDENT DESIGN… Continue Reading Fall 2002 Design Challenge Teams
