Fossils from Qatar have revealed a small, newly identified sea cow species that lived in the Arabian Gulf more than 20 million years ago. The site contains the densest known collection of fossil sea cow bones, showing that these animals once thrived in rich seagrass meadows. Their ecological role mirrorsContinue Reading

The New River Gorge bridge near Fayetteville, West Virginia, is the longest single-span steel arch bridge in the United States. Data from satellites like NASA’s NISAR will make it possible to track bridge health remotely to help ensure structural integrity of more than 60% of long span bridges worldwide. GaryContinue Reading
Governments and companies constantly face decisions about how to allocate finite amounts of money to clean energy technologies that can make a difference to the world’s climate, its economies, and to society as a whole. The process is inherently uncertain, but research has been shown to help predict which technologiesContinue Reading

NASA’s Center for Geospace Storms, or CGS, publicly released the cutting-edge MAGE (Multiscale Atmosphere-Geospace Environment) model, a supercomputing powerhouse that uses NASA mission data to reveal how different parts of geospace react to solar disturbances. The MAGE model will help space weather experts better predict how solar events impact Earth byContinue Reading
NASA’s TRACERS (Tandem Reconnection and Cusp Electrodynamics Reconnaissance Satellites) mission has started collecting preliminary science data, including tandem measurements that are key to the mission’s science goals. One of the two satellites, Space Vehicle 2, completed commissioning and is fully operational. The other satellite, Space Vehicle 1, is also operating withContinue Reading
