A new study by UTIG Research Associate Joseph Levy used new dating techniques to determine that Antarctic paleolakes that grew during the last ice age stuck around much longer than previously thought. The study, “Luminescene dating of paleolake deltas and glacial deposits in Garwood Valley, Antarctica: Implications for climate, Ross ice sheet dynamics, and paleolake… Continue Reading New Study Finds That Paleolakes May Have Persisted Longer Than Scientists Thought
Depressions on Mars could be Oases for Past Microbial Life
Strange, funnel-shaped depressions on Mars could be a new place to look for signs of life on the Red Planet, according to a new UTIG-led study. Continue Reading Depressions on Mars could be Oases for Past Microbial Life
UTIG researchers aim to study future sea level changes by obtaining paleosea records in the Federal States of Micronesia
Rising sea level is, and will be, an issue facing coastal regions, including Middle Pacific islands, for the foreseeable future. UTIG scientists are trying to assess the magnitude, rates and geographic distribution of future changes in sea level by studying past sea level changes. Continue Reading UTIG researchers aim to study future sea level changes by obtaining paleosea records in the Federal States of Micronesia
Texas Oceanographers are Considering How Perception of Color Affects Their Scientific Findings
UTIG graduate research assistant Chad Greene was part of a research team from Texas to present a new paper aimed at getting scientists to think as seriously about color as they do about language. The research group notes that there exists a double standard in research, where language which is perfectly accurate, can still be called out by a reviewer for not being scientific enough, whereas inaccuracies in figures run rampant Continue Reading Texas Oceanographers are Considering How Perception of Color Affects Their Scientific Findings
