New analyses of the largest impact crater on the moon reveal unexpected insights into its tumultuous past. They also suggest that once astronauts return to the moon, they will have access to a veritable gold mine of scientific clues.

The grant funding will support Schaibley’s pioneering work to manipulate the behavior of electrons in nanoscale materials—research that could enable breakthroughs in quantum computing and advanced electronics.

Using pulses of ultrafast "squeezed" light, researchers have tracked quantum uncertainty in a process that could lead to faster, more secure communications and advanced quantum technology.

Biosphere 2 has developed into a test bed for understanding how life transforms landscapes, from local areas to whole planets.

Saleska was nominated as a fellow for fundamental discoveries in the global ecology of carbon cycling in climate-critical ecosystems; creative innovation in methods that enabled such discoveries; and exemplary leadership in promulgating AGU values through commitment to inclusive international mentorship and bringing science to public policy.

The medal is given annually to three to five early career scientists in recognition of their significant contributions to Earth and space science. Nominees are selected for the medal based on their depth and breadth of research, impact, creativity as well as service, outreach, and diversity.

These scholarships will be awarded to recipients of the Department’s three major graduate honors: the Graduate Service Award, the Graduate Teaching Award, and the Graduate Scholarship Award.

After testing five sources of flood data, their analysis found that combining or comparing data could improve disaster response and recovery.

Run by a team of distinguished researchers, the lab aims to “date the undateable,” linking natural events like eruptions or droughts to human history. With a focus on student training and public outreach, the lab will officially launch this fall, pushing the boundaries of climate and cultural research.
