Congrats to EAPS Professor Carl Wunsch on receiving a Frontiers of Knowledge Award from the BBVA Foundation! His pioneering research on oceans "epitomizes the power of collaborative science to answer fundamental questions". buff.ly/xswmyIZ

A new identification algorithm named JetLag, created by former EAPS Postdoc Louis Rivoire, uses a fresh approach to jet stream identification by looking at how these fast winds travel through the atmosphere over time. buff.ly/2W0MBd4

Old hack, new tricks: The Green Building Tetris hack is up and running again, thanks to the dedication of a collection of MIT students who were willing to sink countless hours and resources into redesigning the hardware. buff.ly/Hnz9gt1

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

Congrats to EAPS Professor Ben Weiss on being elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences! He and EAPS alumni Cynthia Ebinger join an outstanding class of leaders from academia, the arts, industry, public policy and research. buff.ly/tZapV35

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

A loophole in the Montreal Protocol allowing the use of ozone-depleting substances for use as feedstocks could delay ozone recovery by seven years. buff.ly/E1QjZ8g

Scientists say an exception in the #MontrealProtocol for the use of ozone-depleting feedstocks could set the #ozone recovery back seven years, in new study co-authored by MIT Prof./CS3 faculty affiliate Susan Solomon and CS3 Research Scientist Luke Western news.mit.edu/2026/regulator…

Hosted by @mit_cs3, the recent MIT Global Change Forum brought together industry, academia, government and NGOs to examine the intersection of science and society when it comes to climate change. buff.ly/FyJZbWr

"It's exciting we have humans back in space again." EAPS Professor Richard Binzel explains how the recent Artemis II flight was an accomplishment in testing spaceflight systems for future moon missions. buff.ly/Xc8bUdI

Researchers at MIT are revealing new populations of asteroids, including smaller ones that could pose a danger to our space infrastructure. Prof Julien de Wit and research scientists Artem Burdanov and Saverio Cambioni break it down on GBH buff.ly/yM36eYK

Hosted by MIT CS3, the 48th MIT Global Change Forum explored strategies that involve synergies in simultaneously addressing #climatechange and #sustainability challenges, as well as those which involve tradeoffs. tinyurl.com/2uk24fw8

From @BostonGlobe: EAPS and @mit_cs3 senior research scientist C. Adam Schlosser says that Camberville area residents can expect warmer, more humid days - and nights - as the climate continues to warm. buff.ly/irg0Sj6

At Beyond the Cradle on April 8, Prof. Julien de Wit, planetary scientist at @eapsMIT, will deliver the opening keynote. @xin_liu_studio will deliver the afternoon arts keynote, “Cosmic Metabolism." Tickets are limited — reserve your spot today! luma.com/ryyxqq15

New model developed by @LamontEarth, @eapsMIT, @NCAR_Science researchers shows how levels of “atmosphere’s detergent”—hydroxyl radicals, key molecules that help break down methane and remove pollutants—may rise and fall in response to climate change: lamont.columbia.edu/news/complicat…
