An MIT travel adventure with our own Richard Binzel sounds like a dream come true 🤩 buff.ly/qL2iUr9

The ocean changes when the atmosphere changes, and ocean circulation plays a critical role in not only ecosystems and heat transfer but carbon transportation. Professor Raffaele Ferrari talks about oceans and climate on the Climate Reveal podcast. buff.ly/8F73tQv

An #EarthDay reminder about a spectacular #environmental win: MIT Prof./CS3 faculty affiliate Susan Solomon joins Scientific American podcast to discuss her experience researching the cause and solution for the Antarctic #ozone hole in the 1980s. tinyurl.com/5x5wxkvt

Scientists have confirmed the detection of organic molecules on Mars. They were found in a sample collected by NASA's Curiosity Rover and analyzed using the rover's on-board mini lab called the Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM). buff.ly/YbkA83O

This Earth Day, join @MITAeroAstro and @eapsMIT for the Earth Observation Symposium featuring CEE Prof. Dara Entekhabi. Explore how satellites help monitor weather systems, track climate change, and study ecosystems. aeroastro.mit.edu/event/earth-ob…

New model PlanetWaves predicts wave behavior on other planets. It found that winds on Titan could stir up huge waves on its light liquid hydrocarbon lakes, while on lava planets like 55-Cancri e it would take hurricane-force winds to move the lake surface. buff.ly/t7s2Byc
