Denis Felikson, a former UT graduate student, has received an early career award from the International Association of Cryospheric Sciences (IACS) for research into glacier thinning that he conducted while working as a graduate research assistant at UTIG. Felikson graduated from the Department of Aerospace Engineering with a doctoral degree in 2018 and is now… Continue Reading Denis Felikson receives Early Career award for pioneering research on glacier thinning
New Study Reveals Layers of Textured Mantle ‘Frozen’ into North American Plate
The North American plate is a medley of geological parts that protrude into Earth’s mantle like tree branches frozen into the surface of an iced-over lake. Research from The University of Texas at Austin has proposed a new method to map these ‘frozen-in’ layers of the tectonic plate and reveal how it interacts with the… Continue Reading New Study Reveals Layers of Textured Mantle ‘Frozen’ into North American Plate
UT Study Shows How To Produce Natural Gas While Storing Carbon Dioxide
New research at The University of Texas at Austin shows that injecting air and carbon dioxide into methane ice deposits buried beneath the Gulf of Mexico could unlock vast natural gas energy resources while helping fight climate change by trapping the carbon dioxide underground. The study, published May 26 in the journal Water Resources Research,… Continue Reading UT Study Shows How To Produce Natural Gas While Storing Carbon Dioxide
Massive Martian Ice Discovery Opens a Window into Red Planet’s History
Newly discovered layers of ice buried a mile beneath Mars’ north pole are the remnants of ancient polar ice sheets and could be one of the largest water reservoirs on the planet, according to scientists at The University of Texas at Austin and the University of Arizona. The team made the discovery using measurements gathered… Continue Reading Massive Martian Ice Discovery Opens a Window into Red Planet’s History
New Equinor Fellow Marks Next Step for UT Research into Unconventional Hydrocarbons
The University of Texas at Austin (UT) is a leader in unconventional energy resources research, particularly shale reservoirs. That’s according to one of this year’s Equinor Fellows, Sebastian Ramiro-Ramirez, a graduate research assistant at UTIG and a PhD student at the University of Texas Jackson School of Geosciences, who was awarded over $60,000 to study… Continue Reading New Equinor Fellow Marks Next Step for UT Research into Unconventional Hydrocarbons
