Buried buildings subtly distort natural magnetic fields, providing a magnetic surveying team with clues that helped archaeologists map an ancient city.Read More »Hydrology, Cryosphere & Earth Surface
Using satellite imagery of grounded icebergs near Greenland, researchers estimate the drafts of these ice masses and therefore water depth, measurements that shed light on future sea level rise.Read More »Geology & Geophysics
A panel of scientists kicks off AGU’s Centennial by looking back on the groundbreaking achievements of the past century.Read More »Mathematical Geophysics
His vision and persistence created a 1.4-billion-pixel map of the Gulf of Mexico seafloor—a crucial tool in research on the Deepwater Horizon oil spill and a completely new standard for bathymetry maps. Read More »Planetary Sciences
A planet 3 times as large as the Earth was detected by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite in a relatively leisurely orbit—the longest yet detected by this telescope—of 36 days.Read More »Biogeosciences
Growing plants near building air vents may help them grow better, while reducing the carbon emissions from the people exhaling inside.Read More »Planetary Sciences
By averaging satellite images of the Earth down to a single pixel, researchers trace how the planet’s mean color varies over time, results that inform observations of distant exoplanets.Read More »Atmospheric Sciences
Every time snow or rain falls, it brings with it microbes from high in the atmosphere. Could those microbes have a seasonal signal, just like the plants on the land below?Read More »Biogeosciences
