The depths of the oceans are home to a complex ecosystem of marine organisms, but also a vast network of cables spanning the globe that aid communications. Earthquakes and tsunamis can potentially damage these important […]

The Arctic Ocean is connected with the Pacific and the Atlantic Oceans through several ocean gateways, and changes in the linkage between these oceans and the Arctic Ocean can affect both climate and marine ecosystems.This […]

Despite decades of warnings and international climate agreements, global carbon emissions are still rising. Carbon emissions seem like an unstoppable juggernaut as energy-hungry humans keep breeding and pursuing more affluent lifestyles. Reducing emissions won’t be […]

From water temperature to the regional hydrological cycle: the working group Dynamics of Regional Climate Systems at the Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea Research Warnemünde has recently succeeded, with the help of regional climate models […]

Scientists affiliated with the National Space Research Institute (INPE) in Brazil have combined models that predict urban expansion and land-use changes with hydrodynamic models to create a methodology capable of supplying geographical information that identifies […]

El Niño is officially here, and while it’s still weak right now, federal forecasters expect this global disrupter of worldwide weather patterns to gradually strengthen.This post was originally published on this site

Deep ocean water in Antarctica is warming and shrinking at an alarming rate with significant consequences for the global climate and the world’s oceans, according to new research involving the University of Southampton.This post was […]

One of Alaska’s most active volcanoes has been erupting since May 2021, but the location of intense seismic activity has moved around during that time. Scientists have wondered why, and now, new belowground imaging reveals […]

The seemingly stable regions of the Earth’s continental plates—the so-called stable cratons—have suffered repetitive deformation below their crust since their formation in the remote past, according to new research from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. […]
