Rob Porritt, a UTIG postdoc, along with three UT Geology undergraduate students traveled to the Mojave desert in California in May to deploy 19 broadband seismic sensors. All were successfully placed over the course of six arduous days in the desert. “This was by far the hardest deployment I’ve ever done,” said Rob. “We stressed… Continue Reading From the Field: Installing Seismic Sensors in the Mojave Desert

UTIG Student Profile: Chad Greene
UTIG Ph.D. candidate Chad Greene recently published a new study on how wind affects Antarctica’s Totten Ice Shelf. We talk to him about his research and his time at UTIG. Your latest research looks at how wind affects the Totten Ice Shelf – what led you to research that topic? Totten Ice Shelf stands between… Continue Reading UTIG Student Profile: Chad Greene
UTIG Team Uses New Data to Identify New Antarctic Ice Core Site
A new paper published in The Cryosphere from UTIG and international researchers is helping identify a new location for ice core drilling in East Antarctica, all part of ICECAP/IDEA (International Collaborative Exploration of the Cryosphere through Airborne Profiling/Ice Divides of East Antarctica), an international collaboration with Australian, French, British, and Chinese colleagues to understand the region. Ice sheet… Continue Reading UTIG Team Uses New Data to Identify New Antarctic Ice Core Site
Scientists map movement of Greenland Ice During Past 9,000 years
Scientists have created the first map that shows how the Greenland Ice Sheet has moved over time, revealing that ice in the interior is moving more slowly toward the edges than it has, on average, during the past 9,000 years. The findings, which researchers said don’t change the fact that the ice sheet is… Continue Reading Scientists map movement of Greenland Ice During Past 9,000 years
