Nov. 23, 2020 Indonesian wildfires that cause widespread air pollution and vast carbon emissions are a 'fixable problem', according to the leader of a project set up to help tackle the ...
Nov. 7, 2020 A long-standing mystery in the study of glaciers was recently and serendipitously solved. A trigger was identified for some of the largest floods on Earth -- those emerging suddenly and unpredictably ...
Nov. 5, 2020 Most active volcanoes on Earth are dormant and are normally not considered hazardous. A team of volcanologists has devised a technique that can predict their devastating potential. The scientists ...
Nov. 4, 2020 An earthquake of magnitude 8.0 or larger will almost always cause strong shaking, but a new study suggests that smaller earthquakes -- those around magnitude 5.5 or so -- are the cause of most ...
Nov. 4, 2020 Effective national and local governments are associated with fewer deaths from tropical cyclone disasters -- even in countries with similar levels of wealth and ...
Nov. 4, 2020 Geologists have found that a volcanic province in the Indian Ocean was the world's most continuously active -- erupting for 30 million years -- fueled by a constantly moving 'conveyor ...
Oct. 30, 2020 Specially-adapted drones have been gathering data from never-before-explored volcanoes that will enable local communities to better forecast future eruptions. The cutting-edge research at Manam ...
Oct. 30, 2020 Researchers have conducted detailed structural analyses of a fault zone in central Japan to identify the specific conditions that lead to devastating earthquake. The seismic slip processes that were ...
Oct. 28, 2020 Stromboli, the 'lighthouse of the Mediterranean', is known for its low-energy but persistent explosive eruptions, behaviour that is known scientifically as Strombolian activity. ...
Oct. 26, 2020 The San Andreas fault, which runs along the western coast of North America and crosses dense population centers like Los Angeles, California, is one of the most-studied faults in North America ...
Oct. 26, 2020 Structural damage to any of the nation's ailing bridges can come with a hefty price of billions of dollars in repairs. New bridge designs promise more damage-resistant structures and, ...
Oct. 23, 2020 An international research team has developed a methodology to help disaster preparedness officials in large cities make contingency plans on a region-wide basis to make sure that emergency responders ...
Oct. 22, 2020 Tiny movements in Earth's outermost layer may provide a Rosetta Stone for deciphering the physics and warning signs of big quakes. New algorithms that work a little like human vision are now ...
Oct. 22, 2020 Wildfires don't stop being dangerous after the flames go out. Even one modest rainfall after a fire can cause a deadly landslide, according to new ...
Oct. 21, 2020 Current understanding is that the chemical composition of the Earth's mantle is relatively homogeneous. But experiments now show that this view is too simplistic. Their results solve a key ...
Oct. 21, 2020 A small amount of molten rock located under tectonic plates encourages them to move. This is what scientists have recently discovered. Their new model takes into account not only the velocity of ...
Oct. 20, 2020 A paleoseismic trench dug across the Gales Creek fault, located about 35 kilometers (roughly 22 miles) west of Portland, Oregon, documents evidence for three surface-rupturing earthquakes that took ...
Oct. 20, 2020 A team of geologists believes they have found the lost plate known as Resurrection in northern Canada by using existing mantle tomography ...
Oct. 16, 2020 A pioneering technique which captures precisely how mountains bend to the will of raindrops has helped solve a long-standing scientific ...
Oct. 16, 2020 An international study has discovered how volcanoes experience stress. The study has implications for how the world might be better protected against future volcano ...
