Jenny McGuire will study Africa's fossil record to inform conservation biology decisions and forecast how humans and climate affect wildlife — building a better understanding between animals, physical traits over time, response to environmental changes.
Kim M. Cobb, Hanjoong Jo, and Carlos A. R. Sa de Melo are among AAAS scientists, engineers, and innovators being recognized for scientifically and socially distinguished achievements.
Alexander Robel leads a new study projecting that warm seawater — seeping under certain glaciers — could eventually lead to future sea level rise that’s double that of existing estimates, with new findings published in The Cryosphere.
A climate scientist and professor, Cobb will depart Georgia Tech to lead IBES, an academic hub for scholars exploring the interactions between natural, human, and social systems.
The Colleges of Sciences and Engineering are pleased to announce the appointment of Joseph Montoya, professor in Biological Sciences, to the position of director of the Interdisciplinary Ph.D. Program in Ocean Science and Engineering at Georgia Tech.
A team of international scientists will study how the Asian summer monsoon — one of the largest and most important meteorological patterns in the world — affects atmospheric chemistry and global climate.
Antarctic supraglacial lakes have been linked to ice-shelf collapse and acceleration of inland ice flow. A new study shows lake area and volume vary substantially from year-to-year around the East Antarctic Ice Sheet and between ice shelves.
Earth and Atmospheric Sciences Assistant Professor Frances Rivera-Hernández will help develop smarter autonomous rovers and robotics for the Moon and Mars, and hunt for chemical signs of life beyond Earth.
