An international study led by researchers at The University of New Mexico has produced the first detailed images of the Queen Charlotte fault system off the coast of northern British Columbia, confirming that the region is capable of generating powerful megathrust earthquakes and tsunamis.

The findings could inform planetary health assessments, enhance ecosystem management, and guide climate change projections and mitigation strategies.

Dust particles from deserts promote ice formation in clouds. 

Masks physically degrade into nanoplastics, chemically change with exposure to sunlight, metals.

Using advanced computational modeling, a Rutgers professor, in collaboration with researchers from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and Stony Brook University, reveal both the immediate and delayed climate benefits of solar power.

It was a single lightning flash that streaked across the Great Plains for 515 miles, from eastern Texas nearly all the way to Kansas City, setting a new world record.

A huge flood triggered by the rapid draining of a lake beneath the Greenland ice sheet occurred with such force that it fractured the ice above and burst out across its surface.

A study in ferrets — which have remarkably similar respiratory systems to humans — suggests that widespread immunity to H1N1 seasonal influenza virus may explain why exposure to H5N1 bird flu causes only mild symptoms in humans.

A peatland complex in the Congo Basin which is known to be a globally important carbon store is twice as old as previously thought, according to a new scientific study.

Research conducted at the University of Leeds has helped to uncover a trend of increasing surface meltwater in East Antarctica, raising questions about future ice sheet behaviour.
