Thwaites Glacier's Hidden Vulnerability: Seawater Intrusion Doubles Sea-Level Projections

A study co-authored by Professor Hélène Seroussi, reports that seawater intrusion beneath Antarctica's Thwaites Glacier could contribute up to 30 millimeters to global sea-level rise by 2100, roughly double previous projections.

Granite Geek: Making One Power Line Do the Job of More Than One

Professor Junbo Zhao is featured on Dartmouth's partnership with Eversource to deploy dynamic line rating technology across 4,000 miles of transmission lines in New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Connecticut, potentially increasing grid capacity while reducing costly infrastructure upgrades.

I Helped Invent the Smartphone Camera. It Could Have Died in the Lab

Professor Eric Fossum argues that proposed changes to the Bayh-Dole Act of 1980—which grants institutions patent rights to inventions arising from federally funded research—jeopardize the framework that allowed him to bring his camera-on-a-chip technology from the lab to the marketplace, where it is the core technology behind cellphone cameras.

Better Modeling of Sea-Level Rise

Professor Hélène Seroussi is a co-author of "Sea-level contribution from Thwaites Glacier doubles in an observation-constrained ice-sheet model" published in Nature Communications. "Until now, models have treated the grounding zone, where a glacier detaches from the underlying bedrock and begins to float, as a discrete line, because observations in such regions were scarce. Adding seawater intrusions and melting in this zone to simulations of Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica allows the model to better reproduce three decades of observed retreat, and roughly doubles its projected contribution to sea-level rise by 2100," said Seroussi.

Kicking Off a Grant to Expand Electric Grid Capacity

Professor Geoffrey Parker joined Eversource and US Department of Energy (DOE) Assistant Secretary Katie Jereza in Manchester, NH to officially mark the selection of Thayer and Eversource for a DOE award of $47M to expand electric grid capacity. "Junbo [Zhao] has worked with Eversource for years, and that relationship is the foundation this project is built on," Parker said. "That is exactly the role we want to play: helping our faculty turn deep expertise and long-standing partnerships into large-scale work with real impact."

Humans, AI & Optimization

Professor Vikrant Vaze was invited to speak at the GE Vernova AI EDGE Symposium in New York. His talk, titled "Multi-Objective Stochastic Optimization of Hybrid Renewable Energy Systems in Fragile States," was based on his work done with PhD students Lilly Yang and Siqi Ke and MS student Ryan Proulx '25 as co-authors. "The biggest takeaways from the symposium were about the future of work itself, about the industry-wide opportunities and challenges associated with the rapidly evolving business practices to accommodate AI-human teams—learning what to delegate to AI and what must be human-controlled," said Vaze.
