ISS Microgravity Experiments: Preparation Work
(2021-08-26)To study imbibition on Earth, time and distance must be shrunk to mitigate gravity-induced distortion. These small scales make it impossible to observe the inertial and pinning processes in detail. Therefore, the microgravity ... -
Data from: How large is the design space for stratospheric aerosol geoengineering?
(2021-08-23)Data in support of research: Stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI), as a possible supplement to emission reduction, has the potential to reduce some of the risks associated with climate change. Adding aerosols to the lower ... -

ISS Microgravity Experiments: Raw Data from NASA
(2021-07-09)To study imbibition on Earth, time and distance must be shrunk to mitigate gravity-induced distortion. These small scales make it impossible to observe the inertial and pinning processes in detail. Therefore, the microgravity ... -
Data from: High-latitude stratospheric aerosol geoengineering may be more effective if injection is limited to spring
(2021-05-05)Stratospheric aerosol geoengineering focused on the Arctic could substantially reduce local and worldwide impacts of anthropogenic global warming. Because the Arctic receives little sunlight during the winter, stratospheric ... -
Data from: Is Turning Down the Sun a Good Proxy for Stratospheric Sulfate Geoengineering?
(2021)Deliberately blocking out a small portion of the incoming solar radiation would cool the climate. One such approach would be injecting SO2 into the stratosphere, which would produce sulfate aerosols that would remain in ... -
Data from: Expanding the Design Space of Stratospheric Aerosol Geoengineering to Include Precipitation-Based Objectives and Explore Tradeoffs
(2020)Previous climate modeling studies demonstrate the ability of feedback-regulated, stratospheric aerosol geoengineering with injection at multiple independent latitudes to meet multiple simultaneous temperature-based objectives ... -
Dataset for Analytic Stability Maps of Unknown Exoplanet Companions for Imaging Prioritization
(2020-06)Identifying which systems are more likely to host an imageable planet can play an important role in the construction of an optimized target list for future direct imaging missions, such as the planned Coronagraph Instrument ... -
Data from: Seasonally Modulated Stratospheric Aerosol Geoengineering Alters the Climate Outcomes
(2020)By reflecting some incoming solar radiation, stratospheric aerosol intervention using SO2 would reduce global mean temperature. Previous research has shown that multiple injection latitudes can be used to maintain not only ... -
Dataset for Optimal Scheduling of Exoplanet Direct Imaging Single Visit Observations of a Blind Search Survey
(2020-04)This data is supplemental material for the exoplanet direct imaging yields of the Wide-Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST) Coronagraphic Instrument (CGI). The modeling, optimization, implementation, and validation of ...
