The mission is still in an early planning stage. But researchers… Continue Reading Uranus’s Swaying Moons will Help Spacecraft Seek Out Hidden Oceans
‘Giant Lab Experiment’ Leads to New Model for Predicting Landslides
Landslides are a perennial threat in California, where the geology and steep topography mean the land is more prone to slipping than in other places. Now, researchers at the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics and UC Santa Cruz studying two large Northern California landslides think they’ve found the key to predicting landslide motion hidden… Continue Reading ‘Giant Lab Experiment’ Leads to New Model for Predicting Landslides
