Agnew presents Earth time change in "Nature"

Rapid ice melt in Greenland & Antarctica is flattening Earth's shape—as mass moves from the poles to the Equator—enough to slow its rotation. Duncan Agnew explains the ramifications in the 27 March 2024 issue of Nature: "A global timekeeping problem postponed by global warming." See https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-07170-0

Kilb, colleagues discuss the use of turbidites in EOS

Gjini invited by SIAM News to share her work on Stratocumulus Clouds

 Congratulations to 3rd year Ph.D. student, Rebecca Gjini, who was invited to share her work in SIAM News. Gjini's article "Stratocumulus Clouds and Predator-prey Dynamics" focuses on her research modeling stratocumulus clouds with predator-prey dynamics and rain "eating" clouds and is avaialble online here.

IGPP and CCCIA group led by Yehuda Bock awarded NOAA's Geospatial Modeling Grant

Yehuda Bock and his IGPP collaborators collaborators Adrian Borsa, Yuri Fialko, Helen Amanda Fricker, Jamin Greenbaum, Jennifer Haase, Robert Mellors, David Sandwell, and Mark Zumberge, as well as Center for Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation collaborators Mark Merrifield and Matthew Mazloff, were among five competitors awarded NOAA's Geospatial Modeling Grant. The group's project "NSRS Intra-Frame Deformation Model and New SIO Geodesy Program," aims to create a formal geodesy program in support of the nationwide deficiency of geodesists and to modernize geodetic models for the NSRS.
