Earth and Atmospheric Sciences Professor Samer Naif and Darcy Cordell, a former postdoctoral scholar, have uncovered new findings that could change how scientists view water’s role in preventing — or perhaps encouraging — earthquakes
With funding from the National Geographic Society, researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology and the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) will travel to St. Croix to analyze coral.
Rare earth elements are critical to technology, electronics, and rapidly evolving clean energy efforts. Equipped with a new NSF grant, Yuanzhi Tang is helping find and unlock these key minerals in Georgia kaolin deposits.
Rachel Moore spent nearly 50 days in one of the most remote places on Earth, collecting ice cores; the research has implications for climate change predictions and searching for signs of life on icy worlds.
School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences researchers find dangerous sulfates are formed, and their particles get bigger, within the plumes of pollution belching from coal-fired power plants.
Up to twice the amount of subglacial water that was originally predicted might be draining into the ocean – potentially increasing glacial melt, sea level rise, and biological disturbances.
A team of scientists led by Georgia Tech have observed past episodic intraplate magmatism and corroborated the existence of a partial melt channel at the base of the Cocos Plate.
Georgia Tech researchers show that rising temperatures in northern regions may damage peatlands: critical ecosystems for storing carbon from the atmosphere — and could decouple vital processes in microbial support systems.
