New Computer Modeling Approach Could Improve Understanding of Megathrust Earthquakes
Years before the devastating Tohoku earthquake struck the coast of Japan in 2011, the Earth’s crust near the site of the quake was starting to stir. Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin are using computer models to investigate if tiny tremors detected near the site of the quake could be connected to the… Continue Reading New Computer Modeling Approach Could Improve Understanding of Megathrust Earthquakes
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.… Continue Reading Indian Ocean May Be More Disruptive to Tropical Climate Than Previously Believed
