This week's talk is being held virtually. “Making it rain: Designing a convection-cloud chamber for exploring interactions between aerosols, clouds and precipitation” Clouds are collections of droplets and ice crystals, formed on aerosol particles, all interacting within a turbulent environment. Understanding these interactions is central to current challenges ranging from the influence of clouds on […]
Grab a cup of coffee or tea and a donut and chat with your fellow EAPS colleagues in the atrium of Building 55! Community Coffee is held every Tuesday during the semester. Questions: rteague@mit.edu
“Small fires, large fires: Implications for climate and clean air in India” The Indian region atmosphere receives large injections of emissions from fires on many scales: small, carefully tended cooking fires of home hearths, widespread fires for waste disposal, and large, discontinuous fires from agricultural stubble burning. Increases in levels of anthropogenic aerosols, typically mixtures […]
Kick off the semester with the Fall Planetary Lunch Seminar Meet and Greet — featuring Introduction Karaoke. Come learn a bit more about your fellow planetary science colleagues' research and get to know the new members of our community! Planetary Lunch Seminar Colloquia topics span the range of research interests of the department's planetary […]
“Winter Changes in the Whites” Winters in New England, like they are in many places across the globe, are getting warmer and shorter. Since 1917, the Northeast has lost roughly three weeks of winter, and with warming trends expected to continue in the coming years and decades, significant challenges are potentially in store for the […]
PAOC Colloquium Interdisciplinary seminar series that brings together the whole PAOC (Program in Atmospheres, Oceans, and Climate) community. Seminar topics include all research concerning the physics, chemistry, and biology of the atmospheres, oceans and climate, as well as talks about societal impacts of climatic processes.

"Model Hierarchies for Understanding the Quasi-Biennial Oscillation" Small-scale fluid processes underly many phenomena in earth and planetary science, from cloud feedbacks, to turbulent mixing, to wave dynamics. They can have significant influence on large scales, and are typically parameterized in global models. Here I will use a hierarchy of models of small-scale fluid dynamics to […]
ESAC Student Seminar Series A forum for students and postdocs to share recent research, hone presentation skills, and build community among peers, sponsored by the EAPS Student Advisory Committee. Open to current EAPS graduate and undergraduate students and postdocs. Typically hosted on Thursdays during the semester, including pizza lunch. Contact: esac.officers@gmail.com
This week's talk is being held virtually. Friday Informal Seminar Hour Postdoc-run seminar series within the Earth Resources Laboratory (ERL). Features talks by ERL members as well as special guests from academia and the energy industry on topics including seismology, geothermal energy, carbon sequestration, machine learning for geophysics, multiphase flow, subsurface imaging, and uncertainty […]
