Last week, #UTIG faculty, students and staff gathered to celebrate another year of hard work at the annual UTIG Awards! 🏆 See a full album of photos and winners here: flic.kr/s/aHBqjCWNQ7
#UTIG Research Assistant Professor Doug Hemingway revisits magnetized rectangular prisms to provide a generalized method and new software for calculating and visualizing the resulting magnetic field. This new modeling approach was published in #RASTI academic.oup.com/rasti/article/…
In a recent study, researchers at our @Bureau3E highlight a growing west-east divide in water availability in 12 aquifers in the Mississippi River Basin and adjacent Texas aquifers. 🔗jsg.utexas.edu/news/2026/06/g…
Breakups are complicated, even when it comes to supercontinents 🌎💔 New research led by #UTIG Research Professor Harm Van Avendonk finds that the Central Atlantic Magmatic Province played a smaller role in the breakup of #Pangea than previously thought. jsg.utexas.edu/news/2026/06/t…
Teams then integrate and interpret data collected here to examine Gulf Coast shelf geology and present findings to their peers and members of the energy industry. Congrats to everyone in this year's course!🎉
Working in teams, students travel to Port Aransas, TX and hop on @UTMSI research vessels to learn sediment coring and analysis and seafloor mapping techniques using streamer seismic reflection, side-scan sonar and multibeam bathymetry.
That's a wrap on our annual Marine Geology and Geophysics field camp! 🏖️🏖️🏖️ GEO349/397 provides hands-on training in marine geological and geophysical data collection and processing for graduate and advanced undergraduate students.
The stratigraphic sequence at Knockan Crag National Nature Reserve is pictured below and protrudes out of the Earth, showing rock that is over 500 million years old. The thrust is visible beneath the Moine Schist and above the Durness Limestone.
The circles in the rock are called accretionary lapilli and were formed by material melted and vaporized after an impact somewhere in the Highlands. These lapilli are linked to this impact event that occurred 1 billion years ago although the crater has not been found.
Research professor Sean Gulick (left), #UTIG Postdoctoral Fellow Greg Gosselin (center) and @txgeosciences doctoral student Soraya Alfred traveled to Scottish Highlands to visit the Stac Fada Member impact ejecta sequence as part of the i-CREATE Magellan3 & USSSP workshop🏴🏴🏴
Introducing Field Notes! The Bureau of Economic Geology’s new biannual magazine showcases our researchers and their work at the intersection of energy, environment, and economics. To read the first issue: lnkd.in/gxUiXtJ7 #geology #water
#UTIG & @txgeosciences doctoral student Sohini Dasgupta is a recipient of a 2026-2027 UT Chevron Energy Graduate Fellows Award. Read more about Dasgupta’s research and the other awardees: energy.utexas.edu/education/chev…
Congratulations to Michael Sweet of @UTGeophysics on receiving the 2026 Doris Malkin Curtis Medal, the highest honor from the Gulf Coast Section of SEPM. The award recognizes his leadership in advancing our understanding of critical energy systems. ig.utexas.edu/news/2026/swee…
Last week, #UTIG Research Associate Elizabeth Spiers (left), Graduate research assistant and doctoral student in the @txgeosciences Medha Prakash (center), & postdoctoral fellow Arefe Nezami joined this year’s #AbSciCon26 to present out of this world research! 🪐☄️🌊
Our Marine Geology and Geophysics field course is as hands-on as it gets💪💪💪 See what a typical morning of hunting down sediment samples and collecting cores on Harbor Island in Port Aransas, TX looks like! 🏖️🏖️
Michael Sweet, a research scientist at #UTIG and co-program director of the Gulf Basin Depositional Synthesis (GBDS) project is the recipient of the 2026 Doris Malkin Curtis Medal by the Gulf Coast Section of the Society for Sedimentary Geology. ig.utexas.edu/news/2026/swee…
Join #UTIG Research Associate Professor Chris Lowery on Tuesday, June 2 at 4:00 p.m. CT for a special presentation with the American Museum of Natural History on the ways ocean drilling offers insights into Earth’s past. amnh.org/calendar/speak…
Congrats to @txgeosciences' Thorsten Becker on his election to the German National Academy of Sciences @Leopoldina—just the third geodynamicist in its 400+ year history. 🌍 Read about his work: utx.global/4eMlkpY. @UTGeophysics @OdenInstitute @TexasScience @UTexasResearch
