Ocean vital signs

MIT Department of Earth Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences

Researchers propose launching a fleet of oceangoing drones that would continuously monitor the flux of carbon dioxide between the atmosphere and ocean, helping to inform next-generation visualizations and models of the global carbon cycle.

How to clean solar panels without water

Dust that accumulates on solar panels is a major problem, but washing the panels uses huge amounts of water. MIT engineers have now developed a waterless cleaning method to remove dust on solar installations in water-limited regions, improving overall efficiency.

Study: Ice flow is more sensitive to stress than previously thought

The rate of glacier ice flow is more sensitive to stress than previously calculated, according to a new study by MIT researchers that upends a decades’ old equation used to describe ice flow. Pictured is the Juneau ice field in Alaska.

New power sources

In the mid-1990s, a few energy activists in Massachusetts had a vision: What if consumers had choice about the energy they consumed? Instead of being force-fed electricity sources selected by a utility company, what if cities, towns, and groups of individuals could purchase power that was cleaner and cheaper?

Advancing public understanding of sea-level rise

MIT Department of Earth Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences

A new exhibit at the Museum of Science, Boston focuses on the effects of sea-level rise around the world. It benefits from the work of MIT Professor Emerita Paola Malanotte-Rizzoli, whose work on the Venetian Lagoon’s MOSE barrier project helped inform the exhibit. Seen here: aerial footage of St. Mark's Square, created through the use of 3D scans and images.

Solar-powered system offers a route to inexpensive desalination

MIT researchers have developed a solar-powered desalination system that is more efficient and less expensive than previous methods. In this schematic, a confined water layer above the floating thermal insulation enables the simultaneous thermal localization and salt rejection.
