Geologist Reveals Correlation Between Earthquakes, Landslides
A geologist in the College of Arts and Sciences has demonstrated that earthquakes—not climate change, as previously thought—affect the rate of landslides in Peru. The finding is the subject of an article in Nature Geoscience (Nature Publishing Group, 2014) by…
Power Plant Standards Could Save Thousands of U.S. Lives Every Year
Power plant standards to cut climate-changing carbon emissions will reduce other harmful air pollution and provide substantial human health benefits, according to a new study released Sept. 30 by scientists from Syracuse, Harvard and Boston universities. The research shows that,…
Participants Needed for a Study Examining the Effects of Whey Protein on Artery and Brain Health
The Exercise Science Department at Syracuse University is recruiting participants for a research study examining the effect of whey protein (milk protein) on artery and brain health. You are eligible if you are 60-85 years old and do not smoke…
Physicist John Laiho Awarded National Science Foundation Grant
John “Jack” Laiho recently completed his first year as a member of the Syracuse University faculty, and what better way to celebrate than by receiving a National Science Foundation (NSF) grant to support his cutting-edge research. Laiho, who earned a…
Students Meld Creativity, Community Needs in Field House Redesign
The Near West Side of Syracuse became a familiar haunt for a team of architecture, engineering and industrial design students last spring. They were there to absorb the neighborhood’s environs and imagine what a renovation of the current Skiddy Park field house might look like.
Making Discoveries on the Smallest of Scales at Jefferson Lab
Post-doctoral Research Associate Rakitha Beminiwattha appreciates the irony of the work he does at the Jefferson Lab. Massive equipment, complex preparations, many collaborators and years of data and analysis searching for discoveries on the smallest of scales.
Q&A: Rebecca Rose, Assistant Director of Financial Literacy and Education Programs
A Brookings Institution study released last week claimed that though student debt levels have been increasing at a fast pace for at least two decades, there is no crisis in the offing. The authors say that increases in average lifetime…
Anchors A-Whey Study: Curious About Your Cardiovascular and Cognitive Health?
The Department of Exercise Science’s Human Performance Laboratory is continually recruiting for a research study examining the effect of whey protein (milk protein) supplementation on artery and brain health. You may be eligible if you are 60-85 years old, do…
Participants needed for Exercise Science Study
We are conducting a research study through the Department of Exercise Science. The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of whey protein on artery and cognitive function. The study involves four visits (1-2 hours each) over 12…
Research Computing Renaissance at SU
Recent developments in Syracuse University’s OrangeGrid and Academic Virtual Hosting Environments (AVHE)—both centrally managed by Information Technology and Services (ITS)—increase the University’s resources for compute intensive academic research, and allow SU’s researchers to tackle new and greater computational tasks, get…
