Satellite data from ship captures landslide-generated tsunami for the first time

Phys.org

Landslide-generated tsunamis pose a serious risk to coastal communities, particularly within narrow fjords where tall cliffs can trap and amplify waves. Scientists rely heavily on earthquake-based observation systems to issue tsunami warnings, but these methods […]

A ripple effect: Minor quakes can disrupt natural tectonic patterns deep underground and change stress landscape

Phys.org

When we think of earthquakes, we imagine sudden, violent shaking. But deep beneath Earth’s surface, some faults move in near silence. These slow, shuffling slips and their accompanying hum—called tremors—don’t shake buildings or make headlines. […]

New global model shows how to bring environmental pressures back to 2015 levels by 2050

Phys.org

A study in Nature finds that with bold and coordinated policy choices—across emissions, diets, food waste, and water and nitrogen efficiency—humanity could, by 2050, bring global environmental pressures back to levels seen in 2015. This […]
