Analyzing radiocarbon dating on a massive database of soil samples from around the world, University of California, Irvine researchers have determined that globally, the average age of the carbon in the ground is about 5,000 years old. In a study published today in Nature Geoscience, a team led by Zheng Shi, UCI postdoctoral scholar in […]
The U.S. Department of Energy has chosen Houlin Xin, UCI assistant professor of physics & astronomy, as an awardee in its DOE Office of Science Early Career Research Program. Xin will receive $150,000 per year for five years to support his project to develop transmission electron microscopy imaging technologies for making lithium-ion battery electrodes more […]
UCI/NASA JPL scientists use satellite gravity measurements to monitor ice changes
Scientists who normally study how human activities impact the planet have been given a rare opportunity over the past few months to observe what happens when industry, transportation and other sources of carbon emissions are curtailed. Steve Davis, UCI associate professor of Earth system science, is part of an international cohort of researchers measuring the […]
