Knowledge Flows Both Ways at TierraFest 2025
TierraFest, the biggest Earth science festival in Mexico, embraces diversity as a means of sharing knowledge about our planet.
Large Outdoor Gatherings Expose Event-Goers to Severe Weather
Researchers pinpointed the riskiest events in terms of lightning and tornado exposure by mining data from more than 16,000 large outdoor gatherings.
Investigadores cuantifican el impacto de los animales en la transformación de la Tierra
Los animales salvajes utilizan 76,000 gigajulios de energía—el equivalente a cientos de miles de monzones o inundaciones—moldeando los ecosistemas terrestres y de agua dulce de nuestro planeta.
NOAA Datasets Will Soon Disappear
NOAA has quietly reported that they will soon decommission 14 datasets, products, and catalogs related to earthquakes and marine, coastal, and estuary science.
“Transformational” Satellite Will Monitor Earth’s Surface Changes
The mission, jointly operated by the United States and India, will measure minute changes to land, ice, and ecosystems around the globe.
Cracks on Planetary Surfaces Hint at Water
Imagery of fractured terrain on Venus, Mars, and Jupiter’s moon Europa pinpoints environments influenced by water.
Isotopes Unearth History of Earthquakes in the Apennines
Dating of cosmogenic chlorine isotopes yields long-term estimates of fault activity in Italy, showing that periods of earthquakes and quiescence alternate over millennia.
300 Million Years of Polar Wander: Slowly but Surely
A reanalysis of paleomagnetic poles provides tighter bounds on the style and rate of motions of our whole planet with respect to its rotation axis.
A Diverse New Generation of Scientists Observes Earth from Above
Project-based learning and a modular class design help students from various backgrounds and universities gain hands-on experience with environmental remote sensing.
First Global Comparison of Glacier Mass Change: They’re All Melting, and Fast
By systematically assessing data gathered by different methods, researchers refined estimates of global glacier melt and its contribution to sea level rise.
