There's nothing like witnessing the calving of a 16-acre iceberg to remind you that although the Greenland glacier landscape may be frozen, it's never still! More on the icy encounter in the latest dispatch from our ongoing Greenland mission: jsg.utexas.edu/news/2024/08/t…

Glaciers are made of ice. But to understand their fate, scientists on our ongoing Greenland glacier mission are interested in sampling a very different substance: mud. More on the science of mud in our latest dispatch! jsg.utexas.edu/news/2024/08/t…

LLILAS is honored to partner with the @txgeoscience to bring experts from the U.S. and Mexico to discuss the future of the Gulf of Mexico Loop Current. Free and open to the public. liberalarts.utexas.edu/llilas/events/…

While some University of Texas Institute for Geophysics researchers are in Greenland, others are in the warmer waters of the Gulf of Mexico studying the Loop Current — the main feeder current for the Gulf Stream. Happy sampling (and smooth sailing!) to all our seafaring scientists! 📷: chrislowery.bsky.social

Our Greenland glacier mission is coming to a close. But the science is just getting started. Hear from Chief Scientist & University of Texas Institute for Geophysics researcher Ginny Catania, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) 's Molly Curran, and others about all they accomplished — and what's still ahead. jsg.utexas.edu/news/2024/08/t…

Welcome Sara Santos, UTIG's latest distinguished postdoctoral fellow! Sara brings an interesting (and for us also very unique) engineering perspective to our marine geophysical research. Welcome to UTIG Sara!🤘⛴️🦐🌎

Catch us at the IMAGE 2024 conference in Houston happening now! 🤘 The international meeting for applied geoscience & energy is a joint meeting of SEG and AAPG hosted in conjunction with SEPM Society for Sedimentary Geology. Stop by and say hello! 👋 #theworldneedsgeoscientists #image2024

Congratulations Peter Flemings on receiving the AAPG Berg award for outstanding research in petroleum geoscience! #image2024 The ceremony marks the 5th time the award has gone to a scientist at UT Jackson School of Geosciences. More on the award and Flemings's research: ig.utexas.edu/news/2024/pete…

THIS THURSDAY! Is global warming changing ocean currents? UT Jackson School of Geosciences joins LLILAS BENSON on a new symposium that's all about the Gulf of Mexico Loop Current. Join experts including UTIG's chrislowery.bsky.social, Jamie Austin and Patty. Learn more: liberalarts.utexas.edu/llilas/events/…

In the past, the sand that fills San Francisco Bay primarily came from rivers. But starting about 11,700 years ago, things changed, according to a study led by Assistant Professor Matt Malkowski and collaborators from the @usgs & SFEI - ASC 🧵 usgs.gov/centers/pcmsc/…

Starts today!

Join us today for our DeFord Lecture at 4 p.m. in JGB 2.324! Our speaker is Eldad Haber of the University of British Columbia. He will be speaking about physics informed neural architectures and their applications in geosciences and other areas. All are welcome to attend!

FRIDAY! Icy ocean worlds are found throughout the solar system but what are their seafloors like? #UTIGSeminars is back with a swishy swirly bang as we present distinguished postdoc, Peri Johnson for her talk on Seafloor Sediment Dynamics on Ocean Worlds: ig.utexas.edu/utig-seminar-s…

This has been really good so far, I definitely learned a lot. I really enjoy these sorts of small, interdisciplinary meetings.

TODAY 10:30AM CT! Join us in the UTIG seminar room for Peri Johnson's talk: "Seafloor Sediment Dynamics on Ocean Worlds" Abstract and info on how to join, over the jump.

.Bloomberg spoke with the Jackson School's Jay Banner about how climate change and population growth are taking a toll on Texas' water. “Demand goes way up, supply goes way down, which is not a sustainable future for Texas water resources,” Banner said. bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
