Scientists from the University of Maryland, the University of Leeds and the University of California, San Diego, have reviewed decades of satellite…
Understanding the thermal conditions of the ground in the Arctic is of utmost importance in order to assess the effects of climate change on the occurrence of…
Tape and his colleagues found evidence for accelerating activity before a 2016 earthquake in a laterally moving fault zone in central Alaska. The activity…
Using previously unavailable data, researchers confirm a correlation between the movement of plate tectonics on the Earth's surface, the flow of mantle above…
Ny-Ålesund (Spitsbergen). Investigations of the atmosphere by means of unmanned mini-airplanes can contribute significantly to the investigation of the causes…
A landmark international study of the Great Barrier Reef has shown that in the past 30,000 years the world's largest reef system has suffered five death…
A mountain range with a total length of 65,000 kilometers runs through all the oceans. It marks the boundaries of tectonic plates. Through the gap between the…
According to current knowledge, the land biosphere absorbs 30% of the CO2 produced by humans and thus contributes significantly to reducing global warming….
But a tantalizing clue recently offered the possibility to go back even further. A collaborative study between the University of Washington and the University…
The scientists led an international consortium that has now published the results in a special section of the journal Environmental Research Letters.
In a talk at the 2018 SSA Annual Meeting, Adrien Oth of the European Center for Geodynamics and Seismology discussed how he and his colleagues are using…
“This campaign achieved most of our primary objectives in surveying the state of Arctic ice,” said IceBridge's acting project scientist Joe MacGregor. “We've…
Interestingly, the loss of ice from the Northeast Greenland Ice Stream (NEGIS) took place not only during the warm Holocene period, but also during a period…
Infrasound waves oscillate at frequencies humans can't hear, but they're extremely useful for monitoring nuclear blasts because infrasound decays so slowly…
They expect their hypothesis to generate controversy. Geologists usually place the start of plate tectonics at about 3 billion years ago, while the new…
In a new study, a team of researchers at Colorado State University found that snow persistence — the amount of time snow remains on the ground — can be used…
