An M-class flare is considered a “moderate” flare, at least ten times less powerful than the largest X-class flares, but the particles sent out on May 17 were…
But scientists theorize that this solar geoengineering could have a side effect of whitening the sky during the day. New research indicates that blocking 2…
The work, presented online May 27 in Nature Geoscience, shows that once the angle of a slope exceeds 30 degrees – whether from uplift, a rushing stream carving…
San Andreas Fault in Santa Cruz Mountains – large quakes more frequent than previously thoughtRecent paleoseismic work has documented four surface-rupturing…
Tropical Storm Beryl formed off the Carolina coast on Friday, May 25 as “System 94L” and later that day became the second tropical storm of the Atlantic…
NASA's Aqua satellite captured an infrared image of Typhoon Sanvu on May 25 at 1559 UTC (11:59 a.m. EDT) when Sanvu was around its peak. The image clearly…
Researchers at the National Survey and Cadastre of Denmark – that country's federal agency responsible for surveys and mapping – had been storing the glass…
The Greenland ice sheet continues to lose mass and thus contributes at about 0.7 millimeters per year to the currently observed sea level change of about 3 mm…
The two-month crossing of the Baltic Sea will include three calls at the Hanseatic city of Rostock. The study carried out by the IOW's scientists will focus on…
