Recent News Haase launches GNSS into the stratosphere Check out the video of IGPP's Jennifer Haase launching a GNSS experiment into the stratosphere! The goal is to measure temperature profiles of the atmosphere to detect and quantify the amount of gravity wave energy so it can be included in climate models. View here . Fricker talks to BBC, Amery Ice Shelf prediction IGPP glaciologist Helen Fricker predicted that the Amery Ice Shelf would calve its "Loose Tooth" by 2015. The day after Amery calved D28, Fricker spoke to the BBC about the event and her earlier prediction. Though it remains "wobbly," Amery shed a much larger iceberg, D28, which Fricker described to the BBC as being "the molar compared to a baby tooth." While this event is unrelated to climate change, "there is no cause for alarm yet for this particular ice shelf," Fricker added. Borsa Lab Platinum level Green Lab certified Woot! Congratulations to the Borsa Lab—the first IGPP lab to become Green-Labs certified. The Borsa Lab achieved platinum level status, which is the highest level possible. Learn more here . Fricker recognized by AGU Congratulations to Helen Fricker who has been recognized by the AGU and will be presenting the John F. Nye Lecture at the fall meeting link here .

Bock, SOPAC compute coseismic offsets for Ridgecrest EPS Yehuda Bock and the rest of SOPAC have also been busy since the Ridgecrest Earthquakes shook So Cal. SOPAC computed coseismic offsets for the two events using the GAMIT/GLOBK software with 30s data from 109 continuous GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) stations within a radius of 160 km from the epicentral region.
