Researchers predict a wetter 21st century for High Mountain Asia, despite current drying trends, due to shifts in aerosol emissions and consistent greenhouse gas effects,…
A significant water reservoir discovered beneath the ocean floor near New Zealand may offer insights into the mechanics of slow slip earthquakes and tectonic activity….
A rise of 1 degree Celsius (C) or more in global temperatures from present levels will put billions at risk of experiencing extreme heat and…
The escalating climate crisis has spurred a surge in commercial tree-planting endeavors to counterbalance excessive carbon emissions. Yet, authors of a peer-reviewed opinion paper recently…
An oblique-angle photo taken from above the Middle East captures the Moon peeking over Earth’s atmospheric limb. An astronaut aboard the International Space Station captured…
Researchers have developed a deep learning model, RECAST, that outperforms traditional methods in predicting earthquake aftershocks, especially with larger datasets. This advancement promises improved earthquake…
Utrecht University geologist Suzanna van de Lagemaat has reconstructed a massive and previously unknown tectonic plate that was once one-quarter the size of the Pacific…
Study finds nearly twice the amount of nitrogen is entering the Reef from groundwater compared to river waters. Scientists using natural tracers off Queensland’s coast…
A new study discovered rapid “collective motion” of iron atoms in Earth’s inner core. This movement may explain the core’s unexpected softness in seismic data…
It’s a simple question that sounds a little like a modest proposal. “Should we cut down all the oak trees?” asked Tom Sharkey, a University Distinguished…
Big waves have doubled since the 1950s, possibly due to shifting climate. A new study links atmospheric shifts to prolonged spells of extreme winter conditions…
Deforestation and water quality improved following intervention in the Madre de Dios Region of the Amazon. Artisanal and small-scale gold mining is a lifeline for…
A University of Oxford study reveals rock weathering can be a major CO2 source, rivaling volcanic emissions. This insight is crucial for future carbon budget…
After passing the Antarctic Peninsula, Iceberg D-30A grazed the much smaller Clarence Island, spun around, and drifted north. In June 2021, the U.S. National Ice…
Two decades of satellite measurements show that the sea surface is shading toward green. The deep-blue sea is turning a touch greener. While that may…
In September, low water levels made it more challenging to ship goods down the river and allowed a wedge of saltwater to move upstream. Months…
Warming led to an intensified methane cycle, lasting thousands of years, study finds. New study makes novel use of plant biomarkers preserved in sediment to…
