The Meshri Family Auditorium opened this fall, after a $6 million renovation project that included gutting the space – which was last renovated in the 1970s — and installing new heating, cooling, windows, desks and chairs, as well as technology and electrical improvements.
Crevasses play an important role in circulating seawater beneath Antarctic ice shelves, potentially influencing their stability, finds Cornell-led research based on first-of-its-kind exploration by an underwater robot.
Cornell faculty members have until Monday, Nov. 27, to submit nominations of distinguished scholars in the areas of arts, life sciences, and social sciences for the A.D. White Professors-at-Large Program.
For her research developing optimization algorithms, modeling and statistical analysis to address a wide range of environmental problems, Christine Shoemaker, professor emeritus, has received the INFORMS Harold Hotelling Medal for Lifetime Achievement and the SIAM Activity Group on Geosciences Career Prize.
Cornell’s endowment achieved a 3.6% return in the fiscal year ending June 30, concluding the year valued at just over $10 billion, the Office of University Investments reported.
Cornell researchers are partnering on the newly announced Feed the Future Climate Resilient Cereals Innovation Lab (CRCIL), providing plant breeding expertise and powerful computational tools to increase the accessibility of cereal crops for those most vulnerable to hunger and malnutrition.
Adding crushed volcanic rock to cropland could play a key role in removing carbon from the air. In a field study, scientists at the University of California, Davis, and Cornell University found the technology stored carbon in the soil even during an extreme drought in California.
