This research investigates how wind transports sand across Mars to improve the safety of future space missions. Combining measurements from Earth-based analogue dunes with computational modelling and NASA satellite data, the approach predicts Martian winds and sandstorms with high accuracy, potentially reducing landing risks and supporting future human exploration of Mars.

This research investigates why supersonic aircraft engines fail under turbulent atmospheric conditions. Using high-performance supercomputer simulations, the study models airflow disruptions around supersonic engines to identify early warning signs of instability. The work aims to improve engine reliability and help revive safe, efficient supersonic passenger air travel.
