NASA Study Finds Climate Extremes Affect Landslides in Surprising Ways
The results represent an early step toward developing what researchers hope will become the ability to forecast whether a slow-moving landslide will collapse.
Study: Glass Microspheres Won’t Save Arctic Sea Ice
A proposal to cover Arctic sea ice with layers of tiny hollow glass spheres about the thickness of one human hair would actually accelerate sea-ice loss and warm the climate rather than creating thick ice and lowering the temperature as proponents claim.
Just a Tiny Amount of Oil Damages Seabirds’ Feathers, UCC Study Reveals
Tiny amounts of crude oil on the water surface, less than one percent of the thickness of a hair, can damage seabird feathers, a University College Cork (UCC) study finds.
Seasonal Change in Antarctic Ice Sheet Movement Observed for First Time
Some estimates of Antarctica’s total contribution to sea-level rise may be over- or underestimated, after researchers detected a previously unknown source of ice loss variability.
Ice Age Valleys Give Clues to Future Ice Sheet Change
Deep valleys buried under the seafloor of the North Sea record how the ancient ice sheets that used to cover the UK and Europe expelled water to stop themselves from collapsing.
