Thousands of earthquakes affecting Portugal’s São Jorge Island in the Azores in March 2022 were triggered by a vast sheet of magma (molten rock) rising from more than 20km below Earth’s surface and stalling just 1.6km beneath the island, finds a new study led by UCL researchers.
March brought a series of dangerous and disruptive weather events across Alaska.
Following historic wildfires that have burned nearly one million acres of Nebraska grazing lands this spring, the University of Nebraska–Lincoln has launched a new online hub that integrates science, mapping and field-based documentation in one place.
Experiments by MIT engineers show rice seeds sprout faster to the sound of rain.
Findings of new study – released as fuel prices for motor vehicles soar internationally – include fatality rates dropping, per 10 million trips, by 88% in Paris, 82% in London and 62% in New York City.
New analyses of ancient ice from Antarctica and the air contained inside it are extending the history of Earth’s climate records and expanding researchers’ understanding of how the planet has changed over the last 3 million years.
Geoengineering could protect the Amazon rainforest from climate change, new research shows.
University of Birmingham weather experts are working with the Gallagher Research Centre (GRC) on a three-year project to understand how European windstorm clustering patterns are varying from year to year and during a winter season.
Climate change is making Canada’s seasons more erratic, its weather more extreme and its ecosystems less predictable—and UBC Okanagan scientists have now produced the first national map of exactly where that unpredictability is hitting hardest.
