A mathematical model developed by Cornell engineers uses advanced methods to assess how water users in the Colorado River basin might be individually affected by changes in climate and demand, and how their water shortages might differ.
After examining many suns and planet surfaces, Cornell astronomers have developed an environmental color “decoder” to tease out climate clues for potentially habitable exoplanets in galaxies far away.
