Using data from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite to study young sub-Neptunes, a team led by LPL alumna Rachel Fernandes and including current LPL grad student Galen Bergsten and LPL faculty Ilaria Pascucci and Tommi Koskinen has published research providing new insights on planetary formation and evolution.

Snow4Flow uses advanced airborne radar mounted to low-flying aircraft to study Arctic glaciers.The $30M project seeks to better understand how snowfall feeds glaciers and how fast those glaciers move.The work will help researchers make more accurate predictions about how glaciers shrink and grow, and how much they contribute to sea level change.
