In 2023, scientists at the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics saw their research published in top journals, including Nature and Science, received the highest honors as both scientists and students (and even one from royalty!), and led major scientific missions at sea and on ice. Here’s a few other stories you may have missed.… Continue Reading 2023 Year in Review
Is There Life on Europa?
Scientists at the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics are working to discover if Jupiter’s icy moon could support life. BY CONSTANTINO PANAGOPULOS Ever since astronomers first peered through telescopes at the worlds of our solar system, people have looked to Mars for signs of life off Earth. But when scientists got a closer look… Continue Reading Is There Life on Europa?
Meet Patty Standring
In this Q&A published in RMAG’s Outcrop, Patty Standring, a graduate student at the Jackson School of Geosciences, discusses how she went from a career in the Air Force to working as a micropaleontologist at the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics. “I have a non-traditional path to the geosciences. Before going to the University… Continue Reading Meet Patty Standring
UT-Led Aerial Surveys Reveal Ancient Landscape Beneath East Antarctic Ice Sheet
Long before Antarctica froze over, rivers carved valleys through mountains in the continent’s east. Millions of years later, researchers have discovered a remnant of this ancient highland landscape thanks to an aerial survey campaign led by the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics (UTIG). The findings were described by researchers at Durham University and Newcastle… Continue Reading UT-Led Aerial Surveys Reveal Ancient Landscape Beneath East Antarctic Ice Sheet
Scientists Isolate Early-Warning Tremor Pattern in Lab-Made Earthquakes
Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin have successfully isolated a pattern of lab-made ‘foreshock’ tremors. The finding offers hope that future earthquakes could be forecast by the swarm of smaller tremors that come before them. The research was published in the journal Nature Communications. The next step is to replicate the results in… Continue Reading Scientists Isolate Early-Warning Tremor Pattern in Lab-Made Earthquakes
