As the business manager on the Earth Institute communications team, David keeps the department running smoothly and is always ready to help a colleague in need.
Lamont’s field season typically sees as many as 50 to 60 expeditions, which take researchers to all corners of the globe. As pandemic restrictions begin to lift, teams are picking up where they left off.
Scientists are uncovering centuries of climate data and human history from giant old timbers saved from demolished structures.
Researchers from Columbia’s Climate School are using data collection, community collaboration, and startups to reduce the negative health effects of pollution in India, Indonesia, and the continent of Africa.
The immersive and exciting program took students through deep dives into climate science and live problem-solving simulations.
Atmospheric mercury in gaseous form appears to be adding heavily to the load.
Researchers are using ocean-bottom and land-based seismometers to record the R/V Marcus Langseth’s soundings from afar, to better understand the potential impacts of large earthquakes in the Cascadia region.
Much of the modern understanding of climate change is underpinned by pioneering studies done at Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory. Here's a timeline of significant studies.
While researchers search for a megathrust fault off the Pacific Northwest coast, they are also helping to map the seafloor in high resolution and detect underwater methane seeps.
Underwater mountains may help to dampen movements along faults that otherwise have the potential to generate large earthquakes.
When using sound to search for an undersea fault, researchers must take special precautions to protect dolphins, whales and other vulnerable species.
Using sound and a 7.5-mile-long streamer towed behind the boat, scientists can collect a tremendous amount of data from under the seafloor.
Before embarking on a 6-week voyage to scan for Cascadia’s megathrust fault, the research team had to quarantine for two weeks in a hotel.
Researchers have set sail to find and map a fault that causes giant earthquakes in the Pacific Northwest.
Climate change may be loading the dice for a tough summer.
