UTIG researchers are currently in East Antarctica as part of our EAGLE (East Antarctic Grounding Line Experiment) project funded by National Science Foundation. The group is studying interactions between the ocean, grounding line, and subglacial hydrology in East Antarctica. Donald Blankenship is the primary investigator, fieldwork has been led by Duncan Young, and analysis is led by Jamin… Continue Reading From the Field: East Antarctic Grounding Line Experiment

New Research Could Predict La Niña Drought Years in Advance
Two new studies from The University of Texas at Austin have significantly improved scientists’ ability to predict the strength and duration of droughts caused by La Niña – a recurrent cooling pattern in the tropical Pacific Ocean. Their findings, which predict that the current La Niña is likely to stretch into a second year, could… Continue Reading New Research Could Predict La Niña Drought Years in Advance
SHIRE Expedition Updates
Our team of researchers working on SHIRE (Seismogenesis at Hikurangi Integrated Research Experiment) have begun their expedition offshore of New Zealand. They are investigating the feedbacks between plate interface slip behavior, solid and fluid mass fluxes, and manifestations of plate boundary mechanics in the long-term geological record that likely reflect common driving processes linking forearc… Continue Reading SHIRE Expedition Updates
