While reliably snow-blanketed holidays might seem a thing of the past in Maryland and other parts of the East Coast—including Boston, which set a record this year for the longest stretch with no major snowfall—a […]

A pair of climate scientists at the Institute for Atmospheric and Climate Science ETH Zurich, working with a colleague from Stripe Inc., has found evidence suggesting that the only way to prevent the planet from […]

Glaciers that are within three miles of a volcano move nearly 50% quicker than average, a new study has found, which could help create early warning of future eruptions.This post was originally published on this […]

Until recently, a gap existed in the world map of amber discoveries: the Antarctic continent. But that gap has finally been closed, thanks to a team led by Dr. Johann P. Klages from the Alfred […]

Less than two percent of the abandoned wells in the Dutch part of the North Sea are leaking methane originating from shallow gas accumulations. That conclusion was reached by researchers from NIOZ and TNO, in […]

Around 700 million years ago, the Earth cooled so much that scientists believe massive ice sheets encased the entire planet like a giant snowball. This global deep freeze, known as Snowball Earth, endured for tens […]

An interdisciplinary team of researchers has developed a machine learning framework that uses limited water quality samples to predict which inorganic pollutants are likely to be present in a groundwater supply. The new tool allows […]

Oxygen is essential for living organisms, particularly multicellular life, to metabolize organic matter and energize all life activities. About half of the oxygen we breathe comes from terrestrial plant life, such as forests and grasslands, […]
