    Total emissions coming from new production is on the order of 20 gigagrams/year for each of these molecules. "This is higher than what previous scientists suggested for CFC-11, and also identifies likely new emissions of CFC-12 and 113, which previously had been overlooked."

    Ozone-depleting chemicals may spend less time in the atmosphere than previously thought: New results point to unexpected, illegal production of several CFCs in recent years.

    What's in the new MIT Climate Action Plan? MIT will have net-zero carbon emissions by 2026 and continue reductions from there, while developing an intensive analysis on how to make our investments net-zero-carbon as well.

    Saving the Radome: Student-led efforts preserve iconic campus landmark atop the Cecil & Ida Green Building for future generations of education and research!

    The Cecil & Ida Green Building (Building 54) rises 277 feet above the MIT campus on the bank of the Charles River.
    The domed fiberglass shell protects an 18-foot microwave dish.
    First installed in 1966 by Pauline (Polly) Austin PhD '42, director of the Weather Radar Research Project, the radomes were originally used to study rain bands and obtained the first quantitative estimates of precipitation using radar signals, laying the groundwork for modern radar systems that track storms and precipitation.

    MIT-WHOI's Mallory Ringham is developing optical sensor to illuminate chemical changes in seawater due to acidification that affect deep-sea corals, which are difficult to access. During COVID, access to an ocean and a lab didn't stop her.

    Climate Modeling Alliance () is all about the future and reinventing Earth system modeling, with MIT, CalTech and others. “We need new approaches, and CliMA is offering a new route forward that should keep us going for decades to come.”

    Phytoplankton swirls reveal underlying currents, eddies, and flows in the ocean. Small-scale turbulent processes like these are crucial to the new climate model.

    Researchers are exploring regional effects of climate change with impacts on water availability, floods, and heat waves. To do this, MIT's David McGee is using paleoclimate data to understand of the scale of past rainfall changes. Watch:
