New research is showing that atmospheric pressure shifts dramatically altered how mud and water flowed on Mars — sometimes boiling, sometimes freezing — offering fresh clues to reconstruct the planet's ancient climate and habitability.
The College of Sciences has named Paul Sell as the new director of the Georgia Tech Observatory. Sell joined the Institute in Fall 2025 as a senior academic professional in the School of Physics.
The grant will support Chu as she uses radar data and generative AI to map temperatures beneath the Antarctica ice sheet, aiming to improve climate predictions, support coastal planning, and train future scientists through open-access tools and education.
The undergraduate astrophysics program introduces students to the fundamental physical processes and laws that govern the cosmos. This foundational curriculum is complemented by training in computational and data analysis techniques.
The latest episode of Generating Buzz follows the College of Sciences’ Frontiers in Science event, giving listeners an opportunity to hear from experts.
Ignacio Taboada has been awarded an NSF grant to build a sensor trigger system for the Pacific Ocean Neutrino Experiment — a powerful neutrino detector that will be built more than 2,600 meters under the surface of the Pacific Ocean.
Highlighting their potential to make significant contributions to science and technology, four College of Sciences Ph.D. candidates have earned the prestigious Achievement Rewards for College Scientists (ARCS) Foundation Scholar Award.
