Rivers Transport Carbon From Fires Into Oceans, Locking It In Storage for Thousands of Years
The extent to which rivers transport burned carbon to oceans — where it can be stored for tens of millennia — is revealed in new…

A team of geologists led by CU Boulder is digging into what may be Earth’s most famous case of geologic amnesia. Researchers have spotted that phenomenon,…
Solar geoengineering proposals will weaken extratropical storm tracks in both hemispheres, scientists find. How can the world combat the continued rise in global temperatures? How…
Tracking Fossil Fuel Emissions With Carbon-14 Researchers from NOAA and the University of Colorado have devised a breakthrough method for estimating national emissions of carbon…
In high-pressure experiments, scientists have discovered new forms of the common mineral feldspar. At moderate temperatures, these hitherto unknown variants are stable at pressures of…
After a cold winter, a shift in weather patterns has unleashed a blast of early summer heat across Alaska. On May 9, 2020, temperatures hit…
A team of University of Rhode Island scientists and statisticians conducted a sophisticated quantitative analysis of a mass extinction that occurred 215 million years ago…
Careful engineering of low, plant-covered hills along shorelines can mitigate tsunami risks with less disruption of coastal life and lower costs compared to seawalls. In…
The effect of nitric acid on aerosol particles in the atmosphere may offer an explanation for the smog seen engulfing cities on frosty days. Under…
The Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission takes us over part of Abu Dhabi – one of the seven emirates that constitute the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Covering…
PNNL-led researchers: Conditions that started decades ago are changing forests and are likely to continue. Ongoing environmental changes are transforming forests worldwide, resulting in shorter…
Ice-blue clouds are drifting high above the Arctic, which means the Northern Hemisphere’s noctilucent cloud season is here. NASA’s Aeronomy of Ice in the Mesosphere…
An MIT-developed technique could aid in tracking the ocean’s health and productivity. On land, it’s fairly obvious where one ecological region ends and another begins,…
If we took a journey from Earth’s surface to the center, the midway point locates roughly at 1900 km (1180 mi) depth in the lower…
Northwest Greenland is featured in this icy image captured by the Copernicus Sentinel-3 mission. Lying in the North Atlantic Ocean, Greenland is the world’s largest…
Researchers at the University of Southampton have shown that an extinction event 360 million years ago, that killed much of the Earth’s plant and freshwater…
Earthquakes that occur more than 300 kilometers below the Earth are poorly understood. UC Davis geophysicist Magali Billen modeled stresses in a sinking tectonic plate…
New simulations from Imperial College London have revealed the asteroid that doomed the dinosaurs struck Earth at the ‘deadliest possible’ angle. The simulations show that…
