By using a powerful method to track large groups of brain cells in real-time, combined with advanced mathematical modeling tools, Columbia researchers reveal striking new details about the brain’s inner ‘collective mind.’

Columbia atmospheric scientist Suzana Camargo is on the leading edge of exploring and defining risks to people, property and the economy in the face of escalating extreme weather events.

A new study finds that ocean absorption of CO2 rises and falls along with human activity and natural phenomena. The findings are important for understanding how much the oceans will offset future climate change.

The first-of-its-kind telescope promises to shed new light on the physics of high-energy phenomena, from supernovae to dark matter.

Paulo Blikstein is an expert in educational technology and learning analytics; his team conducts research on how new technologies can improve K-12 learning in science, technology, engineering, and math.

Dmitri Basov will use the award to develop experimental techniques that could lead to revolutionary applications in electronics, computing energy technology, and medical devices.

The tool uses a statistical programming language created by a Columbia University team of researchers and led by statistics and political science professor and Data Science Institute member Andrew Gelman.
