Data on sea surface heights around the world from the international Surface Water and Ocean Topography mission yields a mesmerizing view of the planet’s ocean….
A research group headed by a geologist from the University of Maryland warns that the influx of salt in streams and rivers is an ‘existential…
A Caltech-led study suggests that two massive, iron-rich structures deep within Earth’s mantle are the remains of Theia, an ancient planet that collided with Earth,…
Shifting rainfall patterns are projected to leave millions of people without consistent access to food in late 2023 and early 2024. The ongoing El Niño…
Past volcanic eruptions and salt deposits from present-day hot springs left this distinctive “face” in northern Chad. From above, the 1,000-meter (3,300-foot) deep volcanic pit…
Most of Earth’s near-surface permafrost could disappear by 2100, according to an international group of scientists. This prediction was made after analyzing current climate patterns…
Despite their rusty color, these arteries of water in Bolivia and Madagascar are important for biodiversity. Some of Earth’s water bodies can assume a blood-like…
Earth’s upper atmosphere plays a crucial role in shaping geomagnetic storms, with both solar and ionospheric plasma contributing to their development, according to a new…
This rare, almost cloud-free view of the remote Elephant Island in Antarctica was captured by the Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission in February 2023. Lying in the…
Simulations showed that meltwater flowing beneath Antarctic glaciers accelerated sea-level rise by 15% by 2300, suggesting it should be factored into future projections. A new…
ESA and JAXA’s EarthCARE satellite, set for a May 2024 launch, aims to provide insights into the climate effects of clouds and aerosols. The satellite…
Field test finds carbon stored in soils even in dry climates. Adding crushed volcanic rock to cropland could play a key role in removing carbon…
Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich monitors Pacific Ocean sea surface heights to gauge El Niño impacts. While 2023’s event seems less intense than 1997 and 2015, it…
Scientists discovered an ancient river-formed landscape beneath the Antarctic ice, offering valuable insights into the ice sheet’s long-term stability and reactions to climate shifts. A…
The West Antarctic Ice Sheet’s melting rate is projected to rise significantly this century, irrespective of fossil fuel cutbacks. While the future looks challenging, reducing…
UC Irvine-led researchers identify contributions of downslope winds and ozone layer. Surface ice in Greenland has been melting at an increasing rate in recent decades,…
A recent theory illustrates the mechanism by which water underneath glaciers may surge — creating a dangerous feedback cycle. Two Georgia Tech researchers, Alex Robel…
