Melting Below the Pine Island Ice Shelf Minds the Gap

Sarah Derouin, Science Writer by Sarah Derouin 3 October 20223 October 2022

New research shows that increased calving from West Antarctica’s Pine Island Ice Shelf will likely drive increased circulation of warm water—and melting—below the ice.

中国中暑严重程度的影响因素

Sarah Derouin, Science Writer by Sarah Derouin 21 September 202221 September 2022

当气温超过36℃、相对湿度超过58%时,中国居民可能会出现中暑

A small coastal shipping town in Japan is devastated by an earthquake. In this photo taken from a plane, the wreckage of hundreds of buildings can be seen, and only a handful remain standing. In the center of the image, a small yacht is perched on top of one of the only remaining buildings. The town is surrounded by mountains and forests. One of the plane’s wheels is visible in the lower left corner of the image.
