The nature of water ice on Mars has important implications for understanding the Martian climate system, which undergoes climate cycles analogous to Earth’s Milankovitch cycles. The distribution and properties of ice on Mars therefore provides us a window into these extraterrestrial “Ice Ages.†I will present the results of spacecraft ...
Join us for an enlightening discussion with Professor Steven Chu, Nobel Laureate and Former U.S. Secretary of Energy. Professor Chu will share his unparalleled insights on scaling sustainability innovation as well as key learnings from his experiences at the Department of Energy (DOE) and beyond. His expertise deeply aligns with ...
Continental-scale changes in Earth’s ice sheets are predominantly monitored with spaceborne instruments which are best-suited to measure surface processes. Conversely, a thorough understanding of the subsurface requires intensive ground-based campaigns which are inherently limited to the local scale. Here, I discuss work from two of our studies in West Antarctica ...
