The EESI EarthTalks series "Changemaking made EESI: Fostering inclusive research communities in the Earth and environmental sciences" will explore new perspectives on initiatives that could increase diversity in environmental fields, with a particular slant toward Penn State's College of Earth and Mineral Sciences (EMS).
The brownish-grey algae that darken the Greenland ice sheet in summer cause the ice to melt faster, but only recently have scientists measured these blooms in the field, and only at few sites. To measure algal blooms across large regions and understand their effects on melting over time, scientists are now turning to space.
A new interdisciplinary planetary science initiative will focus efforts at Penn State on exploring and seeking out life in the solar system and far into the cosmos.
The 2020 cohort of Penn State's Institute for Computational and Data Sciences (ICDS) Faculty Fellows -- formerly known as faculty co-hires -- includes an interdisciplinary group of researchers who will use the University's computational resources to probe the world's biggest societal and social challenges.
Penn State researchers have used artificial intelligence (AI) to clear up noise in RADAR satellite data that can can help detect ground movements at volcanoes in near real time.
A panel discussion on climate change and science communication will feature four Penn State researchers: Iliana Baums, Kristina Douglass, Michael Mann and Jessica Myrick.
Climate change could put a major fishery -- and the millions of people who depend on it -- at risk in one of the world's most vulnerable regions, according to researchers.
Fluctuations in the weather can have a significant impact on melting Antarctic ice, and models that do not include this factor can underestimate the global impact of sea level rise, according to Penn State scientists.
Wei Peng, assistant professor of international affairs and civil and environmental engineering, will discuss the potential health-related benefits of RGGI for Pennsylvania and the region at noon Friday, Oct. 16.
During a summer research experience, something stood out as Alisha Wellington began contrasting forecasts with field observations for Hurricane Fred, which hit the African island nation of Cape Verde in 2015.
