Associate Professor Elizabeth Moyer's research into the role that the southeast Asian monsoon plays in the broader global climate was the subject of a recent meeting of science teams in Italy. Her research reveals new details about how pollution and water from near the ground is transported to the stratosphere during the monsoon, for which she has been awarded a five-year, $5 million National Science Foundation grant to study high-altitude sub-visible cirrus clouds.

Geophysical Sciences graduate student Grand Macdonald and Geophysical Sciences Professor Doug MacAyeal's recent research on Antarctic ice-shelf instability has been published in the most recent volumne of the Annals of Glaciology. They argue that the dimunition of the volume of lake water in July and August within lakes on Greenland's floating termini are caused by the transportation of meltwater into the ocean by river systems.
