This is the second time Tianyi has won the Outstanding Student Presentation Award. The AMS (American […]
Indian Ocean May Be More Disruptive to Tropical Climate Than Previously Believed
The Indian Ocean played a far greater role in driving climate change during the most recent ice age than previously believed and may disrupt climate again in the future. That’s according to a new study from The University of Texas at Austin, the findings of which could rewrite established Pacific-centric theories on tropical climate change. […]
UTIG Seminar Notes: Allison Lawman talks about paleo-ENSO variability and geochemical proxies
The final UTIG seminar this semester will be given by UTIG grad students Allison Lawman, Tianyi Sun and Sophie Goliber. We asked each student to give us a little sneak-preview into what they’ll be talking about and why they’re excited about sharing their research with the science community. The seminar takes place at 10:30am (CST) […]
