Space & Planets:

1. First Multi-Decade Simulation of the Earth's Radiation Belt

A new simulation of the Earth's electron radiation belts captures large-scale variations over nearly three solar cycles, and replicates primary cyclical features and extreme behaviors.

Education:

1. Coral Reef Video Game Will Help Create Global Database

Players dive off a research boat, identify and classify coral reefs using satellite and drone images, and bring marine life back to reefs. In doing so, they help scientists teach a machine to learn.
