Improvements in subseasonal-to-seasonal forecasting (S2S), which projects weather 2 weeks to 2 months in advance, could support more informed decisions about when to plant and irrigate crops, among ...
Fishermen ply their trade in the Gulf of Mannar in the Indian Ocean near Sri Lanka, one example of the vital importance of oceans to planet Earth and humankind. Measurements of ocean heating and sea ...
Lead is a neurotoxin that can damage multiple body systems and lead to learning and developmental problems. The element has been phased out of use in paint, gasoline, and other industrial applications ...
Asian megadeltas, including the Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna, Irrawaddy, Chao Phraya, Mekong, and Red River deltas, are home to millions of people and are vital for regional food security. However, these ...

Most evidence for plate motions in the geological past comes from remnant magnetization of crustal rocks. These indicate progressive changes in latitude with respect to the magnetic dipole. While such ...
Water flow in Mexico City in 2020. Before decades of heavy groundwater extraction, water flowed upward, artesian fashion, to the aquifer through basement and volcanic rock. By 2020 the groundwater was ...
This January 2014 photo shows the Australian Antarctic Division’s ice core drilling camp in Aurora Basin North, East Antarctica. Data from this effort help to quantify factors contributing to climate ...
A new paper describes a rock avalanche in Greenland about 10,900 years BP that had a volume of over 1 billion cubic metres and that travelled almost 16 kilometres. A fascinating paper (Pedersen et al.
Using magnetotelluric data to identify subsurface electrically conductive and resistive areas, scientists can identify underground features and predict how space weather may affect infrastructure.
