Travel and Logistics

Travel and logistics.

• Selection of your travel dates: All university programs include an orientation which is mandatory for your participation. You should arrive at least the day before your required orientation begins in order that you are ready to participate fully in your program with other students.
• Arrival at Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) International Airport: DFW is one of America’s largest airports and is approximately 30 miles from TCU.  Ground transportation in the US differs in a negative way to most countries—there is no consistent public transportation and you should be prepared to spend between $45 and $80 for use of Uber or Lyft.  Supershuttle is a third option but will expect you to share the vehicle with others.

www.lyft.com                       www.uber.com             www.supershuttle.com

• Travel Documents: International travel to the United States requires the following documents:  A valid passport, a valid F (or J visa), and a valid I-20 (or DS 2019) to TCU.  You will be asked to present these at the airport upon arrival in the United States.   (If you have misplaced your I-20, you MUST enter with your F-1 visa and will be given a I-515 at the airport).
• Arrival Housing: Your housing options depend upon your program.  Most graduate students and many transfer students choose to live off campus, while freshmen students must live on campus.  The information below pertains to Fall 2018:

Photos: uga, tcu arrive in los angeles for national championship, share this article.

The stage is set for the national championship game between the TCU Horned Frogs and the Georgia Bulldogs. Both teams arrived in Los Angeles on Jan. 6 ahead of the national championship.

Notably, Georgia’s mascot, Uga, will not be making the trip to Los Angeles for the national championship.

Georgia tight end Darnell Washington was not wearing a walking boot on his short walk between the plane and team bus. However, it would be surprising to see Washington have a large role in the national championship after having to sit out the second half of the College Football Playoff semifinals against Ohio State.

The national championship game will be played on Monday, Jan. 9 at 7:30 p.m. ET. TCU quarterback Max Duggan and company will look to upset Georgia quarterback Stetson Bennett and the defending national champions at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.

Here were the scenes as both teams arrived in California:

A guide to dreamy stargazing adventures in L.A. and beyond

• Show more sharing options
• Copy Link URL Copied!

I’ll never forget my first stargazing experience in Southern California. It was during a spring camping trip to Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, not long after nearby Borrego Springs was designated the state’s first dark sky community in 2009. There were no telescopes or binoculars to enhance the view; yet the night sky was like nothing I had seen before — an endless array of shimmering stars against a black-velvet backdrop. It was hard to believe we were only about 150 miles from L.A.

You may occasionally receive promotional content from the Los Angeles Times.

Since then, I have discovered there is no shortage of excellent stargazing spots in Southern California. (And even the rare opportunity to see the aurora borealis or a solar eclipse !) But the variety of options, locations and organized events can be overwhelming, especially if you’re new to the area or the hobby.

This roundup focuses on what to expect in the celestial skies over the next few months and how to plan accordingly to maximize your chance of spotting some spectacular sights. Whether it’s a public star party at Griffith Observatory or a private astronomer-led tour in Joshua Tree, there is a proverbial universe of activities to meet your desires (and, hopefully, your schedule).

An off-season for planets

In general, this summer won’t be very impressive for planet viewing, says Tim Thompson, a science advisor at Mt. Wilson Observatory. (Though take note, on June 3 around dawn Jupiter, Mars and Saturn will be visible in the eastern sky.)

Instead, the main attraction will be the Milky Way. Thompson says the starry band is typically the most prominent object in the northern hemisphere summer sky and best viewed in remote locations like the Southern California desert between July and September.

The fuller the moon, the less visible the stars. In Joshua Tree, the best moonless nights for observing the Milky Way are the first eight days of June, July and August. The national park has designated stargazing areas , or you can line up private tours with experienced guides.

The desert is also an ideal place to view the perseids , the reliably spectacular meteor shower that sends bright trails of light streaking across the sky every summer. Last August’s perseid show drew record crowds to Joshua Tree. This summer, the perseids are expected to peak on Aug. 11 and 12, but they won’t be as luminous as last year’s shower since the moon will be about 50% full.

Local stargazing options

Neither the Milky Way nor the perseids will be visible in the city of Los Angeles, but there are still plenty of opportunities here to witness the wonders of the night sky.

Griffith Observatory hosts star parties once a month (there’s one this Saturday from 2 to 9:45 p.m.). Its Zeiss refracting telescope is open for public viewing, along with about 30 high-powered telescopes operated by local astronomy groups on the west lawn. It’s a chance to see a variety of views of the night sky, each one slightly different, notes Spencer SooHoo of the Los Angeles Astronomical Society (LAAS). “People are thrilled when they see the moon for the first time through a telescope,” he says. On any given evening (except Monday) up to three observatory staff members set up and run telescopes on the observatory lawn between 7 and 9:30 p.m.

A lesser-known local spot is Garvey Ranch Observatory in Monterey Park. Run by LAAS, it’s open for stargazing every Wednesday evening from 7:30 to 10 p.m. There’s even a broadcast feed for those who can’t climb the narrow steps to the observatory’s 8-inch refractor telescope. Admittedly, there’s some light pollution, but it’s a great place to chat with experts and get help setting up your own telescope.

Up on Mt. Wilson, the observatory’s summer roster includes public ticket nights , which allow a limited number of visitors access to its historic 60-inch and 100-inch telescopes. Tickets, which range from $110 to $230, sell out fast. But more nights will be added throughout the summer.

Still want more info on stargazing? The Griffith Observatory’s website is a terrific resource, with monthly sky reports and links to dozens of active local astronomy clubs and planetariums. And don’t forget to check the weather. Dense clouds and the marine layer (also known as June gloom ) will dim your prospects for a starry night.

3 things to do

1. Ride a bike or take a stroll near the Port of Los Angeles CicLAvia is holding a mini-version of its popular car-free events Sunday and shutting down a 2.75-mile stretch of the neighborhood of Wilmington between its Waterfront Park and Banning Park. Expect a pedestrian-focused experience featuring street games, music, art activities and free tours of the historic Banning Museum. It all takes place between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. For more information, visit ciclavia.org .

2. Clean up the San Gabriel River in Whittier Last year, Heal the Bay volunteers removed more than 22,000 pounds of trash from the L.A. watershed. The environmental group is taking its mission inland on Saturday with a trash cleanup event from 10 a.m. to noon at the San Gabriel River near Whittier Narrows Recreation Area. Anyone is welcome to help pick up plastic and other harmful items before they get washed downstream to the San Pedro Bay. Supplies will be provided and environmental educators will be on hand to explain water’s journey from the Sierras to the Santa Monica Bay. You can register at healthebay.org .

3. Take a wilderness walk in Redondo Beach Just a few blocks from the ocean, Hopkins Wilderness Park is a peaceful 11-acre natural area with four ecological habitats, including a pond, forest and meadows. On Monday, representatives from the South Bay Parkland Conservancy will lead a free hourlong walk through the park aimed at promoting the health benefits of connecting with nature and the community. Also sponsored by the Beach Cities Health District, the walk begins at 10:15 a.m. and you can register at bchd.org .

The must-read

Blue and humpback whales typically arrive in Southern California in May from their breeding grounds in Mexico and hang out until December. Here’s a timely article by Times reporter Hayley Smith about the profound effect that noise pollution caused by cargo ships can have on whales and other creatures that pass through the Santa Barbara Channel . A study found that the once-quiet environment of the channel is about 30 times louder than it once was, and that can reduce an animal’s ability to detect and interpret sounds used to mate, feed and migrate. Sean Hastings of the Channel Islands Marine Sanctuary said the findings drive home the need for slower ship speeds and other efforts to mitigate ocean noise and protect wildlife.

Happy adventuring,

Rams will travel 6th-most miles of any nfl team in 2024, share this article.

As a West Coast team, the Los Angeles Rams often get the short end of the stick when it comes to travel. With most of the teams in the NFL located in the Central and Eastern time zones, the Rams make multiple cross-country flights each year.

Next season won’t be any different.

According to Bill Speros of Bookies.com , the Rams will travel the sixth-most miles of any team in the NFL in 2024. They’ll travel 24,263 miles across 26 time zones next season, with an average trip of 3,032.87 miles roundtrip.

Their longest trip is to Foxborough in Week 11 for a game against the Patriots, which is 5,179 miles roundtrip. The Rams’ Week 16 road game against the Jets isn’t far behind, spanning 4,899 miles roundtrip.

A listing of the miles that each NFL team will travel this season, via @billsperos . The Chargers will travel more miles than any NFL team, and the Commanders will travel the fewest. pic.twitter.com/TC1xm8VlcD — Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) May 15, 2024

What’s working in the Rams’ favor is that they don’t have three consecutive road games at any point in the season, with just two instances where they’ll play two straight games away from home: Weeks 1 and 2 at Detroit and Arizona, and Weeks 15 and 16 at San Francisco and the Jets.

The Rams had the fourth-most travel miles in the NFL last season but they were 16th in that category in 2022. In 2021, they also traveled the fourth-most miles of any team.

Memorial Day weekend 2024 travel will be busiest at these times: How to avoid traffic jams

If you’re traveling for Memorial Day weekend , be prepared to run into some crowds. The next holiday weekend – taking place May 25 to 27 – is slated to see a record-breaking number of travelers, according to AAA. 

A projected 43.8 million Americans are expected to pack their bags for trips over 50 miles or more over the holiday weekend – a 4% increase from last year and close to 2005’s previous record of 44 million. 

“We haven’t seen Memorial Day weekend travel numbers like these in almost 20 years,” said Paula Twidale, Senior Vice President of AAA Travel, in a press release. “We’re projecting an additional one million travelers this holiday weekend compared to 2019, which not only means we’re exceeding pre-pandemic levels but also signals a very busy summer travel season ahead.”

Both roads and airports will be extremely busy, with a historic number of roadtrippers since AAA began tracking data in 2000. That’s 38.4 million drivers, up 4% from last year. 

A predicted 3.51 million airline passengers are expected to hit the skies over the holiday weekend, a 4.8% increase from 2023. This will make for the most crowded Memorial Day weekend at airports since 2005, AAA said.

NFL schedule 2024: Full list of how many miles each team will travel and time zones they will cross

A look at the nfl travel data for the 2024 season.

All 32 NFL teams will have to travel at least eight times during the 2024 regular season, but some will travel more and much farther. Teams will have to travel cross country, while some will go off to Germany and England. Have you ever wondered how many miles each NFL team travels, and how many time zones they cross through? Well, that info has been put together for the upcoming season and released prior to the official NFL schedule release.

According to Bookies.com , the Los Angeles Chargers  will travel the most miles of any team this season -- a whopping 26,803 miles. The Chargers will also travel through the most time zones: 36. As for the team that will travel the least amount of miles in 2024, that honor belongs to Dan Quinn's  Washington Commanders .

Alarmed by Climate Change, Astronomers Train Their Sights on Earth

A growing number of researchers in the field are using their expertise to fight the climate crisis.

By Katrina Miller and Delger Erdenesanaa

On the morning of Jan. 18, 2003, Penny Sackett, then director of the Australian National University’s Mount Stromlo Observatory outside Canberra, received a concerning email from a student at the facility. Bush fires that had been on the horizon the day before were now rapidly approaching. The astronomers on site were considering evacuating, the student wrote.

That afternoon, from her home some miles away, Dr. Sackett watched burning embers fall from a smoky sky and worried. Later, she learned that her colleagues had escaped just in time: As the fire raced up the mountain, they fled down the other side carrying discs full of research data.

All but one of Mount Stromlo’s eight telescopes were destroyed that day, along with millions of dollars in equipment that engineers had been building for observatories around the world. The fires also destroyed 500 homes across greater Canberra, and killed four people.

The incident was an early warning for astronomy: Wildfires, exacerbated by climate change , were becoming a problem for their field. Since then, several other observatories have been damaged or threatened by fires and other extreme weather, and changing atmospheric conditions have made ground-based astronomical research more challenging.

Such incidents have drawn attention to Earth’s plight, and a growing number of astronomers are rallying to fight climate change. In 2019, professionals and students founded a global organization called Astronomers for Planet Earth . Astrobites, a journal run by graduate students in the field, held its third annual Earth Week in April. Also last month, a group of astronomers released “ Climate Change for Astronomers: Causes, consequences and communication ,” a collection of articles detailing the researchers’ personal experiences with the climate crisis, its impact on their work and how they might use their scientific authority to make a difference.

Other astronomers are raising awareness in the classroom, incorporating Earth’s climate into their research, or have left science altogether and become full-time activists.

Dr. Sackett went on to serve as Australia’s chief scientist from 2008 to 2011, and made climate change a major focus of her office. “Between the 2003 fires and when I became chief scientist, it was clear that things were getting worse and it was going to impact every facet of society,” she said. Today, Dr. Sackett has a consulting business and advises government agencies, companies and nonprofit groups on climate issues.

Travis Rector, an astronomer at the University of Alaska Anchorage, and a founder of Astronomers for Planet Earth who edited “Climate Change for Astronomers,” said that “people are often surprised to learn that astronomers are engaged in climate change work.” He added, “But there’s a very strong overlap between the science of astrophysics and the science of climate change. We understand, more than anyone else, that Earth is our only home.”

A Cosmic Perspective

The modern scientific understanding of greenhouse gases is built in part on studies of Venus, a planet choked with heat-trapping carbon dioxide gas. At more than 800 degrees Fahrenheit, Venus is hot enough to melt lead — as well as the few probes that have managed to land on its surface.

By comparing Earth’s atmosphere to others, Raissa Estrela, an astrophysicist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, has come to appreciate her own planet even more, she said. Dr. Estrela characterizes the atmospheres of exoplanets using techniques that she also uses to map plastics and other pollutants on Earth.

“We have this beautiful diversity of life that took us more than 2.5 billion years to reach,” she said. Now, over just a few hundred years, humans have altered Earth’s hard-won atmosphere and endangered its unique biodiversity.

“That’s very selfish,” she added. “I feel like I have the responsibility as an astronomer, and as an inhabitant of this planet, to take care of it.” Dr. Estrela emphasized that she was expressing her own views and that they did not necessarily represent those of NASA or the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

Other astronomers voiced a similar sense of responsibility. A forthcoming poll by the American Astronomical Society found that 98 percent of respondents were concerned about climate change, according to Dr. Rector, who helped run the poll. Nearly as many respondents, he added, felt they needed to do something about it.

Anna Cabré, an independent oceanographer, moved away from her original career as a cosmologist in part because the work was too abstract. “There’s not a lot of touching reality,” Dr. Cabré said.

She has since used her expertise in mathematics and programming to study how global warming could affect marine animals and the ocean’s circulation patterns, and to design an interactive map to assist with international climate negotiations.

“It’s this theory of hope by doing,” she said. “I’m doing my little part.”

Peter Kalmus, a climate scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, began his career searching for gravitational waves in the universe.

“I started feeling a lot of anxiety that I wasn’t committing my talents to doing something to stop global heating,” said Dr. Kalmus, who stressed that he spoke for only himself, not his employer. After a few years of research in astrophysics, he pivoted to studying the physics of clouds and, later, to using climate models to examine the risks of extreme heat. (Dr. Kalmus has also become an outspoken climate activist who has been arrested for his protest tactics .)

“I’m still kind of angry that, because of policymakers not doing enough to stop global heating, I felt compelled to leave astrophysics and become the climate scientist,” he said.

Rising Risks

Telescopes must be built in places that are high, dry and removed from cities’ light pollution, and they have often ended up in fire-prone places like mountaintops and forests. So it came as no surprise, in 2013, when a fire reached Australia’s Siding Spring Observatory, a sister facility to Mount Stromlo that’s located in a national park in New South Wales.

By then, astronomers had learned some lessons. Employees had maintained the grounds at Siding Spring to keep vegetation away from telescope domes. Flames destroyed some infrastructure, but most of the observatory was spared.

“Bushfires are a normal part of Australia’s life,” said Céline d’Orgeville, director of the Advanced Instrumentation and Technology Center, a state-of-the-art facility that opened at Mount Stromlo three years after the 2003 disaster. “But in recent years, it’s been clear that the frequency and the severity of the fires has increased significantly.”

In 2022, a wildfire destroyed multiple buildings at Kitt Peak Observatory in Arizona. And fires aren’t the only danger: In 2020, the giant Arecibo telescope in Puerto Rico collapsed, in part because of repeated stress from hurricanes, according to a 2022 forensic investigation commissioned by the National Science Foundation.

“People have become acutely aware that they actually have to account for climate change when they’re going to choose new sites,” Ms. d’Orgeville said.

Global warming has also had subtler effects on astronomy. Telescopes aim to collect as much light as possible for detailed views of the night sky. But this sensitive work is easily disrupted by atmospheric turbulence, the irregular movement of air, which increases as temperatures rise.

In 2020, a team of scientists analyzed long-term weather data at Paranal Observatory in Chile’s Atacama Desert, and found that climate-related research complications were increasing.

“It was the first time we did such a thing, and at first, my colleagues were not super happy about it,” said Faustine Cantalloube, an exoplanet researcher at France’s National Center for Scientific Research who led this study. Some astrophysicists, she said, worried that the results would suggest Paranal was not a good site for astronomical observations.

She added that more news coverage and public awareness of climate change in recent years has made it easier for researchers in her field to discuss climate-related issues. “It’s really changed,” Dr. Cantalloube said. “And I think it’s the whole society, actually, that changed.”

Taking Action

To help preserve their ability to study the stars, astronomers are working to reduce their field’s carbon footprint. A study in 2022 estimated that the observatories, satellites and the other physical infrastructure that astronomy relies on release 1.2 million metric tons of carbon-equivalent greenhouse gases annually, roughly what would be released by the electricity use of 230,000 American homes in a year.

The National Science Foundation’s National Optical-Infrared Astronomy Research Laboratory, or NOIRLab, which runs Kitt Peak and other observatories across the Americas, recently estimated that its facilities and activities emit 12,500 tons of carbon-equivalent emissions each year, or about as much as 2,500 American homes.

In Australia, the power cost of supercomputing, which astronomers use to run simulations and crunch data, is the largest contributor to the field’s emissions . And a study published in April found that the total amount of air travel by researchers to astronomy conferences in 2019 was more than the distance between Earth and the sun.

In 2022, the American Astronomical Society announced a new task force charged with reducing the field’s carbon footprint by 50 percent over the next decade. Its efforts include improving options for attending conferences virtually and observing through telescopes remotely, changes that began to happen organically during the coronavirus pandemic.

Employees at NOIRLab have also crafted a plan to cut their travel in half by 2027. The money saved from those reductions would be used to invest in more efficient infrastructure, like double-paned windows. In Chile, NOIRLab plans to install a system of solar batteries that would charge up during the day and power the entirety of the Gemini South telescope, and about 60 percent of the Rubin Observatory, at night.

“The sun provides so much free energy,” said Robert Nikutta, an astronomer involved in NOIRLab’s sustainability analysis. “We just have to capture it.”

A decade ago, Bernadette Rodgers, former head of science operations at NOIRLab’s Gemini South, made a significant change of her own: She stepped down from her post and moved to Oregon, where she directs a youth climate activism group called SustainUS.

Dr. Rodgers conceded that some scientists consider it irresponsible to involve themselves in political matters, but she argued that climate change was not political. “The physical world doesn’t listen to politicians,” she said. “It follows its own laws.”

That human-caused emissions are disrupting Earth’s carbon cycle “is established science,” Dr. Rodgers added. “There’s no risk to scientific credibility to state that emphatically.”
