Lior Shamir, a computer scientist in the Carl R. Ice College of Engineering at Kansas State University, published a study of James Webb Space Telescope images that suggests astronomers should factor the Milky Way's rotational velocity in observations of deep space galaxies.

“Natural Disasters and Local Resiliency,” co-written by Binghamton University's Komla Dzigbede, revolves around the increase in number, strength and frequency of natural disasters globally; the authors interview local government managers — many who may be the next to experience a disaster — to examine the lessons that they can use as they attempt to prevent, prepare, respond and recover from these events. The book’s major goal is to serve as a resource for practitioners at the local level leading government services and programs.

SAN ANTONIO — March 11, 2025 —Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) has received a three-year, $2,999,998 million grant from NASA to identify and characterize life and its biosignatures in frozen sand dunes in Alaska, under conditions similar to dune fields on early Mars and Saturn’s moon Titan. The Assessing Regional Reflectors of Astrobiology in Kobuk dunes for Interplanetary Science (ARRAKIS) project team, which includes researchers from Brigham Young University and the University of California—Davis, seek insight into how microbial life may thrive in extreme environments on other worlds by understanding the limits on and constraints affecting life in similar planetary analog environments on Earth.
