The Earth System Science Center has announced the lineup for its spring 2021 Climate Dynamics seminar series.
Penn State professor Guido Cervone was elected as president-elect of the Natural Hazards Section of the American Geophysical Union (AGU).
As one of the pioneers of online instruction at Penn State, David DiBiase watched for three decades as programs offered through the John A. Dutton e-Education Institute broadly expanded access to education.
Penn State was selected as an official nominator for the Earthshot Prize, a competition aimed at identifying the most promising solutions to environmental challenges.
The effects of climate change are sometimes difficult to grasp, but now a virtual reality forest, created by geographers, can let people walk through a simulated forest of today and see what various futures may hold for the trees.
For many, seeing is believing. That is what Alex Klippel and his team have been investing in since the creation of the Penn State's Center for Immersive Experiences.
If you have viewed short documentary films about the 19th amendment on The New York Times website or national monuments on The Washington Post website this year, you have seen the work of Penn State alumna Megan Ruffe, a Schreyer Scholar who graduated in 2013, earning degrees in film production and geography.
Penn State researchers have used artificial intelligence (AI) to clear up noise in RADAR satellite data that can can help detect ground movements at volcanoes in near real time.
The brownish-grey algae that darken the Greenland ice sheet in summer cause the ice to melt faster, but only recently have scientists measured these blooms in the field, and only at few sites. To measure algal blooms across large regions and understand their effects on melting over time, scientists are now turning to space.
A warming climate and more frequent wildfires do not necessarily mean the western United States will see the forest loss that many scientists expect.
