The STEM Libraries at Penn State University Park have announced their calendar of workshops and events for graduate students for the spring 2025 semester. The libraries include the Fletcher L. Byrom Earth and Mineral Sciences Library, Engineering Library, Life Sciences Library, Physical and Mathematical Sciences Library and Harrell Health Sciences Library Research and Learning Commons.
To develop and train the physics-informed neural networks, Prabhav Borate, a graduate student in engineering science, used labquake data collected in the Rock Mechanics Laboratory of co-author Chris Marone, professor of geosciences in the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences.
Nicolas Choquette-Levy, assistant professor in the Penn State Department of Geosciences in the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences, has joined the faculty of the Institute of Energy and the Environment. His role will also include collaboration with the Penn State Climate Consortium, which strongly supported his appointment.
New study reveals surprisingly consistent insect feeding damage on fossils from Argentina and modern gum tree leaves from Australia. “The big stunning result is that every type of insect damage on the fossils survives today on Eucalyptus,” said L. Alejandro Giraldo, a doctoral student in the Department of Geosciences at Penn State and lead author of the study.
