Overestimated nitrogen availability has led climate models to exaggerate how much plant growth can offset rising CO2 levels. Rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are a major driver of climate change. At the same time, higher CO2 concentrations مزید پڑھیں
Around 4.5 billion years ago, an enormous protoplanet known as Theia struck the early Earth in what may have been the most influential event in our planet’s history. The precise sequence of the impact and the aftermath is still uncertain, مزید پڑھیں
Climate simulations reveal that Day Zero Drought conditions are approaching rapidly worldwide, putting vast populations at risk of severe water scarcity. A new study finds that global warming is speeding up the likelihood of multi-year droughts. These prolonged dry periods مزید پڑھیں
Coastal ecosystems are being crushed by rising sea levels linked to urbanization. Beaches across the globe are experiencing a form of “crushing,” a process driven by rising sea levels linked to climate change, along with the growing development of coastal مزید پڑھیں
Earthquakes striking supposedly stable regions. Long-dormant faults slowly regain strength over millions of years, storing stress until one sudden break releases it. These shallow quakes are often triggered by human activities and can be surprisingly damaging. Earthquakes in places such مزید پڑھیں
Researchers have unlocked a new way to harness astatine-211, a rare and powerful isotope that may revolutionize cancer treatment. Astatine is the rarest naturally occurring element on the planet and among the least explored in the periodic table, largely because مزید پڑھیں
A subduction zone near Cascadia is unraveling piece by piece. The process offers a rare glimpse into how tectonic plates die and form new geological boundaries. With unprecedented clarity, researchers have captured a rare geological event: a subduction zone—the point مزید پڑھیں
Asteroid 2025 TF zoomed over Antarctica just 266 miles above Earth, roughly the same height as the ISS. Detected only hours later, the 1–3 meter rock posed no threat but provided valuable data for astronomers. In the early hours of مزید پڑھیں
Most earthquake energy turns into heat rather than ground shaking, sometimes hot enough to melt rock in microseconds. Measuring Earthquake Energy in the Lab When an earthquake strikes, the violent shaking that people feel represents only a small part of مزید پڑھیں
After the Solar System formed, it took no more than three million years for the proto-Earth to finish developing its chemical composition, according to a new study from the Institute of Geological Sciences At that stage, however, the young planet مزید پڑھیں
