Roberts creates methods to better estimate the radar backscatter from corn fields, which could improve the accuracy of global biomass and soil moisture maps derived from radar observations.
Better forecasting could protect astronauts and instruments from solar eruptions that release damaging, high-energy particles.
Massive storms have appeared as “Great White Spots” on Saturn every 20 to 30 years since 1876. The impacts of those older storms have lasted in Saturn’s atmosphere for centuries.
‘Here, we have industry and expertise. Take that and combine it with belief—and magic happens.’
Established in 2007, the Distinguished University Innovator Award is the highest honor for U-M faculty members who have developed transformative ideas, processes or technologies and shepherded them to market for broad societal impact.
Cracks in predominant lithium-ion electrodes shorten battery lifespans, but a neuroscience-inspired technique shows that they have an upside.
‘In undergrad, you sometimes feel like you’re just passing classes. But what we’re doing here is science.’
