Congratulations to Mike, whose paper "The Benefits of High Resolution Multispectral TIR Data and Its Impending Loss by NASA After Four Decades" has been selected by t
GES researchers Dr. Ian T.W. Flynn, Dr. Mike Ramsey, and Dr. Evan Collins used satellite data and machine learning to identify a thermal buildup occurring one month before the 2022 eruption of Mauna Loa volcano, a potentially critical early warning signal.
In case you missed it, recent graduate, Eli Hall has been featured in PittWire: His PhD thesis solved a mystery — and may help turn a lake blue again | University of Pittsburgh
On Saturday, May 3, we were honored to celebrate the accomplishments of our students!
GES Class of 2025!
As part of the Lightning Talks and shared his findings on his research: the Identification of Martian Scoria Cones in Va
These graduating students made significant contributions to sustainability both on- and off-campus during their time at Pitt. We look forward to seeing what they accomplish as alumni!
Congratulations to:
Perseverance and hard work have paid off for Pitt alum Frances Russo (B.S. Geology '22), who recently published her undergraduate senior thesis as a peer-reviewed manuscript in the journal Icarus.
Elijah Copich (Geology, class of 2025) recently received the Chris Hapke Memorial Fund, which enabled him to present his Senior Thesis research at the 56th Lunar and Planetary Science Conference (LPSC).
Ben Schuler, an undergraduate Senior in Geology, was awarded a Dietrich School Curiosity Grant for $500 to support his work entitled "Identifying volumetric changes and thermal anomaly trends at active volcanoes using ASTER orbital data". Ben has been working on this project with his advisor, Dr. Daniel Williams, for the past year, and has been developing GIS-based workflows to automate the processing of ASTER sensor data.
