Happy Earth Day, Ags! 🌎 On Earth Day and every day, geoscientists are working to solve the world's grand challenges - global #climate change, air and water quality, and adequate energy and food supplies. Aggies can change the world. Together, we can change the world. Let’s go! ➡️ geosciences.tamu.edu

Texas A&M Liquid Robotics WaveGlider SV3 Survives Two Hurricanes

Since it was deployed Aug. 13, the Texas A&M Liquid Robotics WaveGlider SV3 has been riding waves in the Gulf of Mexico and collecting critically important water quality data from above the NOAA's Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary to transmit back to researchers on land. During its 90-day journey, the SV3 has survived two hurricanes! → Read all about it: tx.ag/SV3GliderSurvives This deployment is part of a multi-institutional collaborative project funded by the NOAA Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research's Ocean Acidification Program. Project partners include the Harte Research Institute for Gulf of Mexico Studies, Texas A&M's Geochemical and Environmental Research Group, Gulf of Mexico Coastal Ocean Observing System - GCOOS, Liquid Robotics, and the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary.

Weather Balloon Launch Feb. 7, 2019

Our Atmospheric Sciences at Texas A&M University students are back at it, launching weather balloons for National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) research! Dr. Don Conlee and Dr. Chris Nowotarski were awarded a NOAA contract to participate in the Verification of the Origins of Rotation in Tornadoes Experiment in the Southeast (VORTEX-SE) 2018-2019 field campaign, named “Meso18-19,” which is a national field project funded by NOAA. Students began launching research balloons Nov. 1, 2018, and the project runs through April 30, 2019. Video courtesy of Matthew Brown. More information: tx.ag/meso1819
