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.

Georgia Tech's Samer Naif co-authors study showing streams of heated rocks called mantle plumes probably play a role in creating a slippery base for tectonic plates.

Susan Lozier, dean and Betsy Middleton and John Clark Sutherland Chair of the College of Sciences, will serve a three-year term on the inaugural Climate Security Roundtable, a joint initiative across the U.S. Congress and the National Academies.

Researchers have developed a methodology to determine why coastal glaciers are retreating, and in turn, how much can be attributed to human-caused climate change.

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.

Researchers investigate how trees have moved across geography over time, where they’re heading, and why it’s important.

School of Biological Sciences Professor Joel Kostka’s decade of research in Minnesota peatlands has received a boost from a new Department of Energy grant, set to explore how science can address climate change with emphasis on carbon storage.

Georgia Tech researchers have identified that in-situ measurements of either carbon dioxide (CO2) or particulate matter (PM) by low-cost sensors can be used to perform such calculations in classrooms.

The Icefin robot’s unprecedented look inside a crevasse, and observations revealing more than a century of geological processes beneath the ice shelf, are detailed in a new paper in Nature Geoscience.

Frances Rivera-Hernández, Karl Lang, and Rafael Bras are leading an effort to gather data about landslides caused by hurricanes hitting the island. Joined by students, the researchers share an ultimate goal of creating a national geohazards center.
