Dr Hanna, from the University of Sheffield's Department of Geography, was part of a team of researchers that also included Dr Sebastian Mernild from the Los…
In recent years scientists have closely monitored the shrinking area of the Arctic covered by sea ice in warmer summer months, a development that has created…
The newest tropical storm, Greg, formed this morning, August 17 off the west coast of Mexico from a low previously known as System 99E. Greg is about 135 miles…
“It could be really useful in areas such as south-east Asia where there are huge areas of shallow continental shelf,” said Professor John Largier, an…
But they are not just pretty — when nails appeared on all fingers and toes in modern primates about 55 million years ago, they led to the development of…
The computer modeling study, by scientists at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, reinforces previous findings by other research teams that the level…
The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission or TRMM satellite is managed by NASA and the Japanese Space Agency, and can provide data on rainfall rates occurring in…
Typically, this line of intersection between the area where the fault slips and the ground is more complicated at the surface than at depth. But a new study of…
The search for new energy sources to power mankind’s increasing needs is currently a topic of immense interest. Hydrogen-powered fuel cells are considered one…
The recycling of the Earth´s crust in volcanoes happens much faster than scientists have previously assumed. Rock of the ocean crust, which sinks deep into the…
A new computer modeling study reinforces previous findings by other research teams that the level of Arctic sea ice loss observed in recent decades cannot be…
What makes the event so intriguing is that the scientists had forecast the eruption starting five years ago – the first successful forecast of an undersea…
The gate complex provided access to the citadel of Kunulua, capital of the Neo-Hittite Kingdom of Patina (ca. 950-725 BCE), and is reminiscent of the citadel…
New computer modeling work shows that by 2100, if society wants to limit carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to less than 40 percent higher than it is today, the…
“I can go to the Franklin Mountains in West Texas and stand next to what was once part of Coats Land in Antarctica,” said Staci Loewy, a geochemist at…
