Thanks to funding support from UC Santa Cruz’s Center for Coastal Climate Resilience (CCCR) and collaborative expertise from ITS Research Computing, the campus is about to launch “Elkhorn,” an advanced computing system offering more power and flexibility for research.

Aviation’s climate impact extends beyond carbon dioxide emissions.

Intense storms that sweep over the Southern Ocean enable the ocean to absorb more heat from the atmosphere. 

Understanding the physics of ‘mature’ faults helps understand the general mechanics of the earth's crust, which improves earthquake hazards models globally.

The geological storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) in deep geological formations is considered internationally, as well as in Germany, to be one of the key technologies for achieving ambitious climate targets. 

Across the western U.S., wildfires and the dangerous smoke that results have increased in frequency and intensity since the 1990s – that much is clear.

The Glacier Mass Balance Intercomparison Exercise, or GlaMBIE—a European Space Agency project launched in 2022—aims to strengthen global glacier monitoring by combining field observations with satellite-based data from remote sensing technologies.

Since New York City introduced congestion pricing in January 2025, the state has heralded significant reductions in traffic and rush hour delays, fewer crashes and noise complaints, and toll revenue projected to hit $500 million by the end of the year.
