New data sets from the ArcticDEM project help scientists track elevation changes from natural hazards like volcanoes and landslides before, during, and long after the events.Read More »Hydrology, Cryosphere & Earth Surface
Alpine hydropower plants commonly flush sediment that accumulates at intakes, but the associated rapid rise in discharge, turbidity, and streambed instability put aquatic insects at risk.Read More »Mathematical Geophysics
We have the potential to transform our understanding of Earth—if we can just figure out how to harness ever growing data streams.Read More »Climate Change
Hands-on training, collaboration with scientists, and practice using real-world challenges give planners and decision-makers confidence to work with climate model information.Read More »Mathematical Geophysics
Applying the fast-paced technique, pioneered by Google to spur rapid innovation, to space science yielded unexpected benefits and may be a model for collaborations across many scientific disciplines.Read More »
