Understanding the physics of ‘mature’ faults helps understand the general mechanics of the earth's crust, which improves earthquake hazards models globally.

The geological storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) in deep geological formations is considered internationally, as well as in Germany, to be one of the key technologies for achieving ambitious climate targets. 

Across the western U.S., wildfires and the dangerous smoke that results have increased in frequency and intensity since the 1990s – that much is clear.

The Glacier Mass Balance Intercomparison Exercise, or GlaMBIE—a European Space Agency project launched in 2022—aims to strengthen global glacier monitoring by combining field observations with satellite-based data from remote sensing technologies.

Bowhead whales likely reproduce beneath the sea ice northwest of Spitsbergen, while using the open water in the eastern Fram Strait as a migration corridor.

Since New York City introduced congestion pricing in January 2025, the state has heralded significant reductions in traffic and rush hour delays, fewer crashes and noise complaints, and toll revenue projected to hit $500 million by the end of the year.

As fossil fuels rise in cost and green initiatives gain traction, alternative methods for producing useful compounds using microorganisms have the potential to become sustainable, environmentally friendly technologies.

UC San Diego–led research shows that understanding where rain comes from could reshape drought planning and land management across the globe.

Perovskite solar cells can be made not only more robust but also more efficient, scalable and cheaper to manufacture by replacing the indium tin oxide (ITO) in the device, according to research led by the University of Surrey.

The vast West Antarctic Ice Sheet holds enough ice to raise global sea level by 4 to 5 meters if it melts completely.
