🎧🌊🌠Curious about microplastics, the ocean, and the atmosphere. Have a listen with Global Change Center ~ at Virginia Tech faculty member Hosein Foroutan
Interested in the triggering of splay faults during subduction zone earthquakes and the enhanced tsunami 🌊🌊hazard this can pose? We have a new publication out on the topic led by postdoc Dr. Jess DePaolis in collaboration with USGS Rob Witter! dx.doi.org/10.1029/2023JB…
We're thrilled to welcome our Summer 2024 internship cohort! These students will work with our talented faculty in Blacksburg and Northern Virginia to prepare for their futures as the next generation of #NationalSecurity leaders.
Postdoctoral fellow Jessica DePaolis and Tina Dura of Geosciences at VT and Fralin Life Sciences Institute are exploring new insights into the tectonic plate shifts that create some of the Earth's largest earthquakes and tsunamis.
How do microplastics get into the air?
Hosein Foroutan of Virginia Tech Civil and Environmental Engineering explained two possible ways, along with a lot of other stuff related to plastics, the ocean, and the air, on 'Curious Conversations.'
