The size of very large earthquakes might be easier to predict than smaller quakes. A Scripps-led team found that a new model did a good job explaining the amount of slip due to the 2023 Turkey earthquakes. The model also predicts some quakes might have the potential to be bigger than thought.
UC San Diego faculty members Vashan Wright and Xiaolong Wang have been selected to receive 2025 Sloan Research Fellowships, a prestigious award from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.
New research from scientists at UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography finds that atmospheric rivers explain the majority of atypical El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) years, such as 2023.
A multi-institutional research team that includes UC San Diego biologist Kim Cooper has been awarded a $1 million grant from the W.M. Keck Foundation to study the role of inflammation in animals, which has implications for health and skeletal development in humans.
Researchers have introduced a new framework for marine conservation, dubbed 'Marine Prosperity Areas.' This science-informed effort goes beyond protecting marine life—it uses targeted financial investments to prioritize human well-being, uplift communities, and create a sustainable blue economy.
Six teams from the University of California San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering have been awarded funding through the School’s unique program designed to accelerate interdisciplinary research collaborations for early-career faculty.
