Millions Likely Live in Areas Contaminated by Mining Runoff
Heavy metal contaminants from mining can live in ecosystems for centuries. A new global database shows where the problem is worst.
Registros de eclipses fechan erupciones volcánicas de los siglos XII y XIII
Registros antiguos de lunas oscuras y lunas de sangre ayudan a los científicos a vislumbrar erupciones pasadas y sus efectos en el clima global.
A Strong Quake (or Two) Rattled Puget Sound 1,100 Years Ago
Tree rings hint that two neighboring faults ruptured within 6 months of each other and suggest that the maximum magnitude of quakes around Puget Sound could exceed previous estimates.
Ham Radios Crowdsourced Ionospheric Science During Eclipse
Amateur radio operators who study space physics and the upper atmosphere probed the ionosphere’s response to the 2023 annular solar eclipse using shortwave transmissions.
Popping Bubbles Make Glaciers Melt Faster
Accounting for the newfound bubble effect could improve estimates of how sea-terminating glaciers melt underwater—and better anticipate their shrinkage as oceans warm.
La exportación ilegal de fósiles es más que un Irritator para el Sur Global
Más de 2,000 investigadores han firmado una carta abierta solicitando la repatriación del fósil de dinosaurio a Brasil. Algunos afirman que el caso pone de manifiesto un modelo de colonialismo científico en la paleontología.
Bird Biodiversity Reports Reflect Cities’ Redlined Past
The lack of bird records in formerly redlined areas creates an inaccurate picture of urban biodiversity, leading to gaps in conservation efforts.
A Lunar Mission Spots Its Failed Brethren
Data from NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter have been instrumental in pinpointing where other Moon-bound spacecraft have crashed.
Low-Tech, Energy-Free Tool Collects and Cleans Fog Water
A new fog harvester could benefit communities that lack access to clean freshwater.
Protein Powder Makes Ice Crystals Flower
Dust from Alaska is particularly effective at forming ice crystals because it contains biological components, researchers believe. The finding has implications for cloud physics and our planet’s climate.
