A group of undergraduate students from Citrus College embarked on an immersive environmental science field trip to Vermont, where they conducted research, engaged with policy makers, and gained firsthand experience addressing real-world environmental challenges. The program, funded by the National Science Foundation, aims to inspire the next generation of environmental scientists and foster their passion for sustainable solutions.
The behavior of tiny particles in the atmosphere, known as aerosols, significantly impacts climate and weather patterns. NASA’s new satellite, PACE, aims to reduce uncertainties surrounding aerosols by providing detailed data on their size, shape, and distribution. This improved understanding will enhance climate models, enabling more accurate projections of climate change and its effects.
