The most recent ice age peaked around 20,000 years ago and was marked by extensive glaciation and dramatic climate shifts that reshaped Earth’s oceans, landscapes, and ecosystems. A new study involving climate researchers at The University of Texas at Austin Jackson School of Geosciences suggests that this ice age may provide crucial insights into future… Continue Reading Extreme El Niño Events Likely to Increase as World Warms
Scientific Ocean Drilling: UT Researcher Wins Prestigious Prize for Work on Mass Extinctions
From plate tectonics to the dinosaur extinction, scientific ocean drilling has led to major discoveries about our planet’s history and evolution. Now, the field has a new rising star in Chris Lowery, a researcher at The University of Texas at Austin, who was named the 2024 Asahiko Taira International Scientific Ocean Drilling Research Prize recipient… Continue Reading Scientific Ocean Drilling: UT Researcher Wins Prestigious Prize for Work on Mass Extinctions

Forever Chemical Pollution Can Now Be Tracked
Organofluorine compounds — sometimes called ‘forever chemicals’ — are increasingly turning up in our drinking water, oceans and even human blood, posing a potential threat to the environment and human health. Now, researchers at The University of Texas at Austin have developed a way to fingerprint them, which could help authorities trace them to their… Continue Reading Forever Chemical Pollution Can Now Be Tracked
Scientists Set Sail to Study Greenland Glaciers from Underwater
The University of Texas at Austin has embarked on a mission to explore the underwater edges of Greenland’s coastal glaciers to learn more about future sea level rise. The four-week expedition conducted with international partners will investigate processes that control how these giant glaciers melt and what that means for the future of the Greenland… Continue Reading Scientists Set Sail to Study Greenland Glaciers from Underwater
