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?

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/…

“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
