In fact, every decade since 1984, when satellite recordkeeping of ocean temperatures started, has been warmer than the previous one.
Donglai Yang, a second-year PhD student in geophysics, was selected as one of two recipients of the 2025 iHARP Polar Informatics graduate fellowship.
The College of Sciences launched its Young Alumni Board, a volunteer-based leadership group that is tasked with deepening the relationship between recent Yellow Jacket graduates and the College. The inaugural Board consists of 13 members who obtained an u
Led by School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences Professor Greg Huey, the NSF RAPID grant is for analyzing air chemistry data collected during a three-week span when a chemical plume impacted the Atlanta area.
Seminars are held on Thursdays from 11:00 AM-12:00 PM (except where noted) virtually or in the Charles H. Jones Auditorium (L1205) in the Ford ES&T Building. For more information, please contact the Main Office at (404) 894-3893 or the speaker host (listed below).

Georgia Tech researchers from the School of Chemistry and Biochemistry, the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, and the School of Physics including Regents' Professor Thomas Orlando, Assistant Professor Karl Lang, and post-doctoral researcher Micah Schaible are among the authors of a paper recently published in Scientific Reports.
Researchers from the University of Georgia and Georgia Tech demonstrated that space weathering alterations of the surface of lunar samples at the nanoscale may provide a mechanism to distinguish lunar samples of variable surface exposure age.

January 2, 2025Georgia Tech has received a rapid grant of more than $86,000 from the National Science Foundation to study air-monitoring data the university conducted during the BioLab incident in Rockdale County this fall. Georgia Tech's School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences deployed a mobile monitoring station at the city of Conyers' request shortly after the fire started on Sept. 29. The blaze lasted about two and a half weeks, created a plume of chemicals that wafted over the county and parts of metro Atlanta, and has prompted more than 20 class-action lawsuits blaming the company for illnesses and business closures.
Professor Greg Huey and his research group plan to calibrate and study the data, make it accessible to the public, identify as many compounds as possible that were in the plume, and prioritize reviews based on toxicity.
