The ranges of species will have to change dramatically as a result of climate change between now and 2100 because the climate will change more than 100 times faster than the rate at which species can adapt, according to a newly published study by Indiana University researchers. The study focuses on North American rattlesnakes.

Two devices that IU Bloomington geologists helped develop were part of the science payload on board NASA's Mars Science Lab mission when it launched Nov. 26 from Cape Canaveral. The mission will put a mobile laboratory onto the surface of Mars and use it to investigate the area's past and present environments. It is expected to arrive on Mars in August 2012.

The National Science Foundation has awarded $776,114 to Indiana University Bloomington researchers to acquire instrumentation for investigating how the nanoscale structure and composition of surfaces give rise to the unique properties of materials. The three-year grant, from the NSF Division of Materials Research, supports the purchase of an X-ray photoelectron spectrometer. The three-year grant, from the NSF Division of Materials Research, supports the purchase of an X-ray photoelectron spectrometer, to be located at the Chemistry Building or Simon Hall and available for use by faculty members, scientists and graduate students from across campus. The researchers awarded the grant are all affiliated with the Nanoscale Characterization Facility at IU Bloomington and the instrumentation will be included as part of this user facility.
