The emissions tracker created by a Georgia Tech-led team will play an important role in the work, researchers say.
Study Reveals Wintertime Formation of Large Pollution Particles in China’s Skies
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.
Digging Into Greenland Ice: Unraveling Mysteries in Earth's Harshest Environments
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.
Jim Sowell Talks About Watching Annular Eclipse
Jim Sowell talks about Georgia Tech's observatory, what can be learned from an eclipse, and why you should watch for it wherever you are.
Long-Term Lizard Study Challenges the Rules of Evolutionary Biology
By lassoing lizards, putting tiny chips on their legs, and tracking them for three years, Georgia Tech’s James Stroud revealed why species often appear unchanged for millions of years despite Charles Darwin’s theory of constant evolution.
