Storm Chasing in the Tropics and Subtropics with the NASA INCUS Mission

When
-

Abstract: Convective Mass Flux (CMF) – the vertical transport of air and water by deep convective storms – drives the large-scale circulation, upper tropospheric moistening, high cloud-raditiave feedbacks, surface precipitation rates, and extreme weather. Despite the fundamental role played by CMF, our understanding of the processes controlling CMF is rudimentary, and the representation of CMF remains a major source of error in our numerical models across the scales.

CANCELLED: Surface and Interface Engineering for Reversible Electrochemistry

When
-

Abstract: Electrochemistry involves chemical reactions that are driven by the movement of electrons and ions, typically occurring at surfaces or interfaces. A key example is rechargeable batteries, where ions migrate through the liquid electrolyte and electrons flow through the external circuit. The electrochemical reactions take place at the electrode–electrolyte interface where electrode materials receive both ions (Li+, Na+, etc) and electrons during discharging, and release them during charging, enabling the reversible storage of electricity.

Field stars and their kinematics as a probe of massive star evolution and binary populations

When
-

Abstract: Field massive stars are more easily identified and studied than those in crowded cluster environments.  While some massive stars may form in relative isolation, most are ejected from clusters via dynamical processes and supernova kicks in binary systems.  Since both mechanisms are driven by binarity in the massive star population, field stars and their kinematics probe the effects of binarity, which can strongly influence stellar evolution by the tr
