EAS Professor Rowena Lohman and some students, colleagues, and staff gathered in the Snee Hall Map Room to watch the deployment of the joint @NASA-@isro NISAR satellite this morning. It was thrilling!!!

Our Earth science fleet just got... NISAR.
Shortly after launch on an @ISRO rocket, the NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar spacecraft successfully separated from its ride to orbit.
We'd say this satellite is more than nice, it's great. 😎 Find out why at go.nasa.gov/46RZixM.
The NISAR (@NASA -@isro Synthetic Aperture Radar) mission, a collaboration between NASA and the Indian Space Research Org., is set to launch at 8:10 a.m. EDT, Wednesday, July 30.
We will be watching in the Map Room at Snee Hall. How about you?

EAS Professor Rowena Lohman has been heavily involved in the planning of this satellite's mission.
A new view of Earth: @NASA and the Indian Space Research Organization are launching a satellite that uses synthetic aperture radar – and @CornellEAS expertise – to monitor nearly all the planet’s land- and ice-covered surfaces twice every 12 days. news.cornell.edu/stories/202…
EAS Professor Britney Schmidt and Icefin have been able to show that ocean water in this region of Greenland is almost two degrees warmer than it was less than 10 years ago. @CornellEng @Cornell @NASA

Scientists can study the ionosphere by using radio waves to give it a little “nudge.” New #AGUPubs research by scientists from @CornellEAS captured how one such nudge affected all three regions of the ionosphere. eos.org/research-spotlights/…

The Institute for the Study of the Continents held a symposium to take stock of the university’s decades-long history of seismic imaging science and celebrate the accomplishments of Larry Brown, Ph.D. ’76, whose work helped shape the field. @CornellEAS

This week, we hosted a two-day climate risk modeling hackathon that brought together over 30 @Cornell faculty, graduate students, and industry professionals in the insurance sector to explore practical solutions to some of the most pressing challenges in the field 💡
“This challenges the old idea that eruptions are fueled by magma stored in the Earth’s crust and suggests a new possibility,” said lead author Esteban Gazel.
Using advanced technology that analyzes tiny gas bubbles trapped in crystal, a @Cornell-led team of scientists has precisely mapped how magma storage evolves as Hawaiian volcanoes age. @ScienceAdvances @CornellEAS @NSF news.cornell.edu/stories/202…

“To have a planet with habitability like ours, we need plate tectonics. To have plate tectonics, we need to have a recycling of water. Water is fundamental, [and] not just for life. Water is also what makes the planet dynamic.” Cornell's Esteban Gazel

Scientists at @Cornell are developing a library of basalt-based spectral signatures that not only will help reveal the composition of exoplanets, but also could demonstrate evidence of water. @CornellEng @CornellCALS @NatureAstronomy @CSInst @BPFriedlander news.cornell.edu/stories/202…
