Today’s employees want to feel a greater sense of purpose at work, and companies must respond by clearly defining their missions and values and incorporating them into the day-to-day environment.

New way to measure Antarctic snowfall helps predict the ice sheet’s survival A new satellite finds a surprise: Atmospheric rivers of moisture can dump huge amounts of snow over Antarctica, and now we can track it incredibly closely. ByMadeleine Stone Email A new way of studying Antarctica’s weather, not from Earth’s surface but from space, is revealing a phenomenon that could help determine how quickly the enormous ice sheet melts in a warming world. The study, published on Tuesday in Geophysical Research Letters, focuses on “atmospheric rivers,” huge belts of water vapor that form ...

Credit: Kiya Riverman A new study published today in the journal Geophysical Research Letters used NASA's ice-measuring laser satellite to identify atmospheric river storms as a key driver of increased snowfall in West Antarctica during the 2019 austral winter. These findings from scientists at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego and colleagues will help improve overall understanding of the processes driving change in Antarctica, and lead to better predictions of sea-level rise. The study was funded by NASA, with additional support from the Rhodium ...
