Understanding the Haiti Earthquake of 2010
January 21, 2010
In response to the tragedy caused by the catastrophic earthquake that struck Haiti on Jan. 12, the Indiana University campus and Bloomington community will be conducting a series of events to raise both awareness and funds to benefit the people of Haiti.
The initial event, titled "Decoding Disaster: Understanding the Haiti Earthquake of 2010," was held on the evening of January 21, 2010. The campus-community forum and call to action brought together faculty, staff, students, and community members interested in exploring the causes and consequences of this major natural disaster. More

IU Press Release: Deep underground aquifers in the American Southwest contain gases that tell of the region's ancient climate, and support a growing consensus that the jet stream over North America was once split in two.
The discoveries were made with a new paleohydrogeology tool, developed by Indiana University Bloomington geologist Chen Zhu and Swiss Federal Institute of Technology geologist Rolf Kipfer, that depends on the curious properties of noble gases as they seep through natural underground aquifers. MORE
