Liz Moyer lends her expertise on the influence of climate change on precipitation to the Wired article “Why Rain is Getting Fiercer on a Warming Planet”
“It's a basic energy balance issue...The very physics that gives us the greenhouse effect also makes the planet shed more of this energy by evaporation. And because whatever goes up must come down, that means we also get more rain.”

Graduate student Freya Chen talks with Uchicago News about her intrepid exploration of glacial seismic activity in Resolute Bay in Nunavut, Canada.
“The movements of ice shelves, glaciers, and ocean waves can cause tiny ground motions…those signals can help us understand the properties of glaciers and ice shelves," Chen said.
"This is particularly important for building accurate models to predict how climate change will unfold in the poles."
