The application window for GeoSPACE 2026 is now open! Join us online or in-person in Arizona for a two-week planetary geology field camp through @ufgeology.bsky.social. Open to geo-gators as well as visitors from other schools. If you are looking for an accessible field camp, check us out! ⚒️

Volcanic Eruptions in One Hemisphere Linked to Floods in the Opposite One - Eos Asymmetric volcanic plumes may shift equatorial weather patterns and increase tropical stream flow, according to new simulations.

Volcanic eruptions in one hemisphere alter weather patterns near the equator, causing an increase in floods on the opposite side of Earth, according to a new study.

The Disability Tax: How Disabled Professional are Quietly Holding Companies Together - The Mind Hears Often, it’s said that professionals with disabilities have two jobs: the one we’re paid to do, and the unpaid one of educating others. But in truth, it’s never just two jobs.

To create and sustain equitable workplaces for people with disabilities, employers and coworkers should be aware of how the disability tax negatively impacts d/Disabled workers.
