A Chaotic Mars-Earth Planetary Cycle May Have Contributed to One of Earth’s Major Warming Events
As Earth and Mars orbit the Sun, they pull on each other gravitationally, causing their paths to stretch and relax in a cycle that repeats roughly every 2.4 million years. These subtle orbital shifts change how close the planets approach the sun, which in turn can alter their long-term climate patterns.
Graduate’s Research Contributes to Hospital Trust’s Air Quality Assessments
A graduate from the University of Plymouth has led a new study into air pollution levels in and around Derriford Hospital, supporting its ambition of achieving an ‘excellent’ rating in the Clean Air Hospital Framework.
In the Field: UW Researchers Bound for Alaska’s Earthquake-impacted Marshlands
The earthquake that rocked Alaska for close to five minutes on March 27, 1964, remains the most powerful earthquake recorded in U.S. history. It registered a magnitude of 9.2 on the Richter scale and generated a tsunami that killed people as far south as California. The earthquake also changed the nature of the land surrounding its epicenter near Prince William Sound.
Tracking Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation Using Benthic Foraminifera
How is ventilation at various depth layers of the Atlantic connected and what role do changes in ocean circulation play?
Are Sewage Spills and Coastal Winds Contributing to Airborne Microplastics?
A combination of sewage overflows and coastal winds could be sending billions of airborne microplastic particles into the world’s coastal towns and cities, a new study suggests.
