Researchers led by Ryuhei Nakamura at the RIKEN Center for Sustainable Resource Science (CSRS) in Japan and The Earth-Life Science Institute (ELSI) of Tokyo Institute of Technology have discovered inorganic nanostructures surrounding deep-ocean hydrothermal vents […]
Sophisticated analysis of tiny bubbles of ancient gas trapped in volcanic rocks, combined with new geophysical modeling, has cast new light on long-held assumptions about the deep Earth.This post was originally published on this site
A new analysis of satellite data finds that the record surge in atmospheric methane emissions from 2020 to 2022 was driven by increased inundation and water storage in wetlands, combined with a slight decrease in […]
Sixteen years to the day that Hurricane Katrina devastated Louisiana, Ida slammed into the Gulf Coast state’s seaport town of Port Fourchon as a Category 4 cyclone on Aug. 29, 2021, leaving a widespread path […]
River floods are environmental hazards that can have devastating effects on human life, agriculture, and infrastructure. Hydrologic models are used to map flood hazards to better understand risk, dictate insurance costs, and inform land-use planning. […]
Northeast Greenland is home to the 79° N Glacier—the country’s largest floating glacier tongue, but also one seriously threatened by global warming. Warm water from the Atlantic is melting it from below. However, experts from […]
A study, published in the journal Nature Communications by an international team of climate scientists and permafrost experts shows that, according to new climate computer model simulations, global warming will accelerate permafrost thawing and as […]
Over the next decades to centuries, will melting of the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS)—Earth’s largest ice mass—cause global sea level to rise by five meters, two meters or less?This post was originally published on this […]
University of Adelaide researchers have developed a new theoretical model to predict the distances ocean waves can travel to break up sea ice.This post was originally published on this site
A mysterious type of iron-rich magma entombed within extinct volcanoes is likely abundant with rare earth elements and could offer a new way to source these in-demand metals, according to new research from The Australian […]
