Rachel Moore spent nearly 50 days in one of the most remote places on Earth, collecting ice cores; the research has implications for climate change predictions and searching for signs of life on icy worlds.

The Urban Honey Bee Project’s new beekeeper in residence is creating art and educating the public with her practice.

School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences researchers find dangerous sulfates are formed, and their particles get bigger, within the plumes of pollution belching from coal-fired power plants.

Annalisa Bracco, Taka Ito, and Chris Reinhard from the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences will create computer models to measure how well CO2 removal techniques work on land, rivers, and oceans, as part of $264 million in grants.

As part of an $11.6 million research initiative, Biological Sciences postdoctoral fellow Sarah Orr will leverage a new USDA Fellowship to study the impact of synthetic pesticides on bumblebees — a key pollinator for U.S. agricultural production.

Newly appointed Georgia Power Chair Chris Reinhard, an associate professor in the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, will co-lead a $4.8 million USDA pilot project, studying a process that could help farms trap atmospheric carbon.

A study led by researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology has advanced understanding of airborne particulate matter and its health effects.

Earth and Atmospheric Sciences Professor Samer Naif and Darcy Cordell, a former postdoctoral scholar, have uncovered new findings that could change how scientists view water’s role in preventing — or perhaps encouraging — earthquakes

With funding from the National Geographic Society, researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology and the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) will travel to St. Croix to analyze coral.

In response to changing climates, many plants and animals are moving to higher elevations, seeking cooler temperatures. But a new study finds that flying insects like bees and moths may struggle with insurmountable issues to this escape route.
