The Heising-Simons Foundation names Malena Rice and Eva Scheller as two recipients of the 51 Pegasi-b postdoctoral program to be hosted by MIT. Rice will use TESS to look for Planet Nine while Scheller will study water on Mars.

MIT faculty from four teams in the “Using data and science to forecast climate-related risk” category of MIT’s Climate Grand Challenges competition lay out promising new technologies that can help scientists understand the Earth’s climate system on a finer scale than ever before.

For the Climate Grand Challenge, a team of scientists propose using drones to monitor ocean CO2 levels to learn how much carbon the ocean absorbs; this will tell us how efficient carbon capture technologies are at reducing emissions.

Scientists from Virginia Tech, in partnership with Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, have revealed that key components of the global carbon cycle used to monitor the movement of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere are not accurate, which could considerably change traditional carbon cycle models.

Three Yale juniors — Emma Levin, Eric Sun, and Hamilton Wan — are among the 417 students across the nation who have been awarded the scholarship for 2022–2023.
