Icy ‘Glue’ May Control Pace of Antarctic Ice-Shelf Breakup
As the ice-and-snow rubble known as mélange melts in Antarctica’s ice shelves, rifts can grow and icebergs break off even in the brutal cold of winter.
Low-Cost, Continuous Seismic Monitoring System to Support Emission Reduction Efforts
Kyushu University researchers demonstrated a new method for continuously monitoring the environment just below Earth’s surface using a small seismic source and fiber-optic cables.
Study Highlights How Humans and Nature Are Causing Significant Changes to the Health of Global Rivers
Many of the world’s largest rivers are experiencing significant changes in their chemical composition as a result of natural and human activity, according to new research.
Understanding How a Crab’s Complex Life Cycle Will Respond to Climate Change
For many marine animals, like the Dungeness crab, seasonality and timing are components of complex life cycles, where disruptions can have serious implications for the population.
Lake Formation and Expansion Due to Sea-Level Rise Causes Freshwater Resource Depletion on Small Islands
Coastal regions and small ocean islands face significant risks from rising sea levels due to climate change, because waters can flood and inundate low-lying land surfaces.
