Earth’s upper atmosphere plays a crucial role in shaping geomagnetic storms, with both solar and ionospheric plasma contributing to their development, according to a new…
This rare, almost cloud-free view of the remote Elephant Island in Antarctica was captured by the Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission in February 2023. Lying in the…
Simulations showed that meltwater flowing beneath Antarctic glaciers accelerated sea-level rise by 15% by 2300, suggesting it should be factored into future projections. A new…
ESA and JAXA’s EarthCARE satellite, set for a May 2024 launch, aims to provide insights into the climate effects of clouds and aerosols. The satellite…
Field test finds carbon stored in soils even in dry climates. Adding crushed volcanic rock to cropland could play a key role in removing carbon…
Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich monitors Pacific Ocean sea surface heights to gauge El Niño impacts. While 2023’s event seems less intense than 1997 and 2015, it…
Scientists discovered an ancient river-formed landscape beneath the Antarctic ice, offering valuable insights into the ice sheet’s long-term stability and reactions to climate shifts. A…
The West Antarctic Ice Sheet’s melting rate is projected to rise significantly this century, irrespective of fossil fuel cutbacks. While the future looks challenging, reducing…
UC Irvine-led researchers identify contributions of downslope winds and ozone layer. Surface ice in Greenland has been melting at an increasing rate in recent decades,…
A recent theory illustrates the mechanism by which water underneath glaciers may surge — creating a dangerous feedback cycle. Two Georgia Tech researchers, Alex Robel…
The Panama Canal, captured by the Copernicus Sentinel-1 satellite, showcases its maritime significance. However, severe drought conditions in Panama threaten its operations, leading to a…
Over 40 percent of Antarctica’s ice shelves reduced in volume over 25 years. Thinning ice shelves release a vast quantity of freshwater into the oceans…
Eruptions on Russia’s active Kamchatka Peninsula made for a dramatic display of steam, snow, and shadows. Neighboring volcanoes on Russia’s ever-fiery Kamchatka Peninsula puffed away…
Superdeep diamonds formed between 650 and 450 million years ago show how continents developed and moved. The analysis of ancient, superdeep diamonds dug up from…
Deep coral bleaching, previously unseen, has been discovered in the Indian Ocean, linked to rising sea temperatures. This challenges prior beliefs about deep coral resilience…
For over thirty years, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) scientists have been tracking the quality of groundwater in wells throughout the nation. Their focus has been…
Caltech researchers used advanced imaging techniques to investigate increased seismic activity in California’s Long Valley Caldera, a dormant supervolcano. Since the 1980s, researchers have observed…
