In a scientific first, Columbia neuroengineers have created a system that translates thought into intelligible, recognizable speech, a critical step toward brain-computer interfaces that hold immense promise for those with limited or no ability to speak.

David Goldberg recently returned to Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory after a visiting appointment at the University of Montpellier in France on a “Make Our Planet Great Again” award.

A team of autonomous ocean robots deployed in January 2018 has carried out the first year-long observations under an Antarctic ice shelf. Scientists will use the data to understand how seawater interacts with the ice shelves and improve models of ice sheet behavior.

A Columbia-led team has discovered a new method to manipulate the electrical conductivity of this game-changing material, the strongest substance ever, with applications ranging from nano-electronic devices to clean energy.

A Columbia Engineering study, published today in Nature, confirms the urgency to tackle climate change. It shows that vegetation may not be able to continue abating the effects of emissions from human activities.

Joerg Schaefer and Gisela Winckler, scientists at Columbia's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, received funding from the Center for Climate and Life to examine the vulnerability of Greenland’s massive ice sheet.

The North Atlantic Oscillation is considered a key driver of winter weather patterns over the Northern Hemisphere. In recent years, research has claimed a correlation between the NAO and the 11-year solar cycle. A new paper debunks that claim.
