Jackson School of Geosciences students were once again among the top student presenters at the American Geophysical Union’s (AGU) Fall Meeting. Although the AGU Fall Meeting took place in December 2022, the awards are announced throughout the spring. The winners are selected based on research quality and a student’s ability to effectively communicate their research.… Continue Reading Jackson School Students Win AGU Outstanding Student Presentation Awards
Ocean Surface Tipping Point Could Accelerate Climate Change
The oceans help to limit global warming by soaking up carbon dioxide emissions. But scientists have discovered that intense warming in the future could lessen that ability, leading to even more severe warming. The discovery comes from a study led by The University of Texas at Austin in which researchers analyzed a climate simulation configured… Continue Reading Ocean Surface Tipping Point Could Accelerate Climate Change
New Year, New Opportunities
GBDS Partners with New Industry Members on Carbon Storage Projects By Freja Cini Carbon storage opportunities in the Gulf of Mexico were on the agenda in Jan. 2023 at the annual meeting of the Gulf of Mexico Basin Depositional Synthesis (GBDS) project, an industry-supported program led by the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics (UTIG).… Continue Reading New Year, New Opportunities
Earthquake Scientists Have a New Tool in the Race to Find the Next Big One
An everyday quirk of physics could be an important missing piece in scientists’ efforts to predict the world’s most powerful earthquakes. In a study published in the journal Science, researchers at The University of Texas at Austin discovered that a frictional phenomenon could be key to understanding when and how violently faults move. That’s because… Continue Reading Earthquake Scientists Have a New Tool in the Race to Find the Next Big One
Climate Change Could Cause Mass Exodus of Tropical Plankton
The tropical oceans are home to the most diverse plankton populations on Earth, where they form the base of marine food chains. Modern plankton biodiversity in the tropics is a surprisingly recent development and the result of 8 million years of global cooling, according to a study led by researchers at The University of Texas… Continue Reading Climate Change Could Cause Mass Exodus of Tropical Plankton
