Probing the star-forming ISM with fine structure lines

Supersonic turbulent motions are thought to play a major role in the star formation process in galaxies. Theories have suggested that turbulence is responsible for shaping the interstellar medium (ISM), regulating star formation, and even setting the masses of stars as they form in young clusters.

Reducing uncertainty in the impact of climate on biodiversity

Background. Species distribution models (SDMs) aim to constrain the response and distribution of organisms to climate change. However, these models are built on ecological monitoring records spanning decades rather than the hundreds of thousands of years and broader climatic landscapes that species have persisted in.
