A new undergraduate major in climate system science and engineering prepares students with the foundational expertise across disciplines to confront climate change. #earthday @mit_cee @eapsmit news.mit.edu/2024/new-major…

How do we know how much CO2 was in the atmosphere hundreds of years ago?

David McGee (MIT EAPS) explains how scientists extract tiny air bubbles from ice cores that date back thousands of years and how they measure the amount of CO2 in those bubbles.

Meet Emma Bullock, a #MIT_WHOI PhD student who focuses on the effects of permafrost thaw on mercury levels in groundwater.

“As the mercury escapes, it has the potential to impact not just Arctic communities but also anyone who eats fish in the entire world,” she tells Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

#ICYMI Smectite, a clay mineral found on the seafloor, is capable of sequestering carbon and creating a global cooling effect. Now, a new MIT study shows that it is a product of plate tectonics, and may have played a role in triggering ice ages.

What are the biggest challenges and innovations for new climate models?

Raffaele Ferrari (MIT EAPS) helps explain that increasing both computing power and our understanding of climate physics can help make climate models more accurate.

There’s a lot of math behind the scenes of ocean modeling.

A new #AGUPubs paper presents a suite of cases to verify some of these underlying numerical methods. Research by Los Alamos National Laboratory, Florida State University, Scientific Computing, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), MIT EAPS, FluidNumerics.

Two big things happened recently on the eastern coast of the US: an earthquake and a solar eclipse. But the two events were not related; EAPS Professor William Frank explains for the New York Times.
