Using water to predict fire
UCI researchers can forecast wildfires using sea surface temperatures.
Wind + water = untapped energy
Wind energy over the planet’s oceans is a vastly underutilized renewable resource, according to UC Irvine researchers.
Measuring melting ice sheets
Global climate change – especially as it relates to glacial melting and rising ocean levels – is the subject of much debate and research. Eric Rignot, Earth system science professor, studies ice sheet melting in Antarctica and Greenland. He will talk about his work March 31 as part of the 2008-09 Discover the Physical Sciences Breakfast Lecture Series.
