Other ESI Research Activities
Watery Puzzles
New, interdisciplinary reasearch is now beginning to unravel the secrets of wetlands and other aquatic ecosystems.
Climate Tales from the Seafloor
Subtle shifts in ocean currents may have caused rapid changes in global climate.
Mountains on the Move
Landslides, rainstorms and other local events can help shape the large-scale tectonic processes that build mountains.
Putting it All Together
New techniques emerge to supplement advanced models with abundant data.
Eye in the Sky, Water in the Soil
Soil moisture plays key roles in weather and climate. A satellite that measures it also models a new kind of mission for MIT.
Trouble Underground
Groundwater is a vitally important — and endangered — resource. Investigators can predict and minimize contamination.
