Cornell Geologists Detect Rapid ‘Ice Stream’ at Arctic Glacier
Cornell geologists, examining the desolate Vavilov ice cap on the northern fringe of Siberia in the Arctic Circle, have for the first time observed the rapid ice loss from an improbable new river of ice, according to new work in the journal Geophysical Research Letters.
Applying Physics Principle to Meteorology Yields Grim Prediction on Hurricane Destruction in an Era of Global Warming
NYU Tandon Applied Physics Professor Emeritus Edward Wolf discovered that the principles of phase transitions correctly identified the destructive power released by hurricanes. This means warmer water temperatures will increase the destructive power of hurricanes significantly more than meteorologists expect.
