The rate at which Antarctica’s Ice Shelves might be managed by an icy ‘glue’

Climatology, Earth Science, Science /

The scientists have found an ice process that may have caused a Delaware-sized iceberg to break off Antarctica’s massive Larsen and sea ice lodged in and surrounding ice shelves – is vital for maintaining ice shelves with each other, implies that these ice shelves may separate even faster than the investigators anticipated due to increasing […]

‘Airpocalypse’ Smoke Reaches North Pole for the Very First Time

Earth Science, Meteorology, Science /

Santa Claus isn’t expected to notice smoke. Misty smoke of raging Arctic wildfires has reached the North Pole for the first time in recorded history, and NASA satellites have photographs to prove it. On the sixth of August, NASA’s MODIS, a photographic sensor on the Aqua satellite, captured true-color images of a “vast, thick, acrid

How Detailed, Venus’s- Flower-Baskets Manipulate the Flow of Seawater

Earth Science, Oceanography, Science /

Simulations reveal that this deep-sea glass sponge’s skeleton is more than simply pretty A Venus’s flower basket is not all just beautiful. This spectacular deep-sea sponge can also change the circulation of seawater in unusual ways. The sponge’s glassy skeleton is formed by a lacy, barrel-shaped chamber. Flow simulations show how this complex structure changes

The Natural Cycles in the Gulf of Alaska Accentuate Ocean Acidification

Earth Science, Oceanography, Science /

According to new study from the University of Alaska Fairbanks, changes in major wind and ocean circulation systems can briefly accelerate or reverse the rate of ocean acidification in the Gulf of Alaska. According to Claudine Hauri, a researcher at the UAF International Arctic Research Center, ocean acidification is typically viewed as a slow push

Reforestation Could Help Reefs Avoid Disaster

Earth Science, Oceanography, Science /

A study done by the University of Queensland discovered that increasing reforestation efforts in coastal areas could considerably reduce the amount of sediment runoff reaching coral reefs and enhance their resilience. The research project examined over 5,500 coastline coastal locations around the globe and discovered that almost 85 percent of them leached silt to coral

Mount Rainier – Living Safely With a Volcano in Your Backyard

Earth Science, Science, Volcanology /

Mount Rainier towers over Seattle’s growing suburbs and Tacoma, Washington, rising more than 3 miles (14,410 feet) above sea level. Over the course of a year, about two million visitors explore Mount Rainier National Park to see the volcano, glaciers, forested ridges, and alpine meadows. The volcano’s elegance, though, is deceiving. Mount Rainier is considered

Comprehensive Tracking Gives Timely Cautions of Volcano Rekindling

Earth Science, Science, Volcanology /

Scientists must employ numerous tools to listen to and see activity inside a volcano in order to keep a watch on it. The USGS Volcano Hazards Program monitors volcanoes for signals of change that indicate volcanic reawakening. Surveillance must include several observations (earthquakes, ground activity, volcanic gas, rock chemistry, water chemistry, remote satellite analysis) on
