Glacier Runoff Becomes Less Nutritious as Glaciers Retreat
Sediment from retreating, land-terminating glaciers contains proportionally fewer micronutrients such as iron and manganese, reducing the glaciers’ value to microorganisms at the base of the food web.
New Lessons from Old Ice: How We Understand Past (and Future) Heating
Fragments of blue ice up to 6 million years old—the oldest ever found—offer key insights into Earth’s warming cycles. Researchers are using these ancient data to refine models of our future climate.
The Language of the Crust: Investigating Fault-to-Fault Interactions
Faults don’t just form—they respond, resist, and reshape the crustal narrative.
Glaciers Are Warming More Slowly Than Expected, but Not for Long
An unprecedented dataset offers insight into the counterintuitive cooling effect of glaciers on a global scale.
Complex Plumbing Dynamics for Kīlauea Volcano
A new analysis of subtle seismic velocity changes provides insights into the coupling of magma reservoirs of Hawaiian volcanoes.
Echoes From the Past: How Land Reclamation Slowly Modifies Coastal Environments
Reclamation of tide-influenced areas has a large impact on coastal environments through gradual modification of tidal dynamics, erosion, and siltation.
The Invisible Brake: Near‑Surface Cooling Stalls Giant Dyke Swarms
Sill-based pressure reconstructions show Mull’s giant dykes had eruption-capable pressures, but near‑surface groundwater cooling increased magma viscosity and stalled lateral propagation.
Pamir Glacier Expedition Returns with High-Elevation Ice Cores
The three glacial cores will unlock mysteries about past climate and weather patterns in central Asia.
Grandes Sequias Coincidieron con el Colapso Maya Clásico
El entendimiento de cómo las ciudades individuales respondieron al estrés climático ayudará a crear imágenes holísticas de cómo estas sociedades funcionaban.
The Ridgecrest Earthquake Left Enduring Damage in Earth’s Deep Crust
The shallow crust has recovered since California’s 2019 quake, but damage persists at depths greater than 10 kilometers.
