The grant will support Chu as she uses radar data and generative AI to map temperatures beneath the Antarctica ice sheet, aiming to improve climate predictions, support coastal planning, and train future scientists through open-access tools and education.

Simple equations are revealing how topography controls supraglacial lake size in Antarctica — and why it matters for climate predictions.

Georgia Tech scientists have uncovered evidence that a mountain on the rim of Jezero Crater — where NASA’s Perseverance Rover is currently collecting samples for possible return to Earth — is likely a volcano.

Faculty with ties to Turkey and earthquake research are closely monitoring the situation.

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.

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.

Forecasts call for a near-normal hurricane season, but climate change could make future seasons more unpredictable than ever before.

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.

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.
