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.
Zhigang Peng and graduate students Phuc Mach and Chang Ding are using small seismic sensors to better understand just how, why, and when certain earthquakes are occurring.
A Georgia Tech-led review paper recently published in Nature Reviews Physics is exploring the ways machine learning is revolutionizing the field of climate physics — and the role human scientists might play.
