n 2021, a $7 million U.S. campaign will begin to drill four sites in northern Greenland. Co-led by Columbia scientists, the team seeks bedrock cores that could reveal when Greenland’s ice disappeared in the past million years.
The scientists are affiliated with the Data Science Institute and will develop static analysis methods that will enhance the usability and accuracy of probabilistic programming.
A new study shows that giant ore deposits are tightly distributed above where rigid rocks that comprise the nuclei of ancient continents begin to thin, far below the surface.
Vicki Ferrini, a geoinformatics researcher at Columbia’s Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, is part of an ambitious project to chart the seabed by 2030.
The researchers received a $2.06M PERFORM grant from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy.
