¿El secreto para imitar fallas naturales? Plexiglás y teflón
Investigadores encontraron una manera eficaz para producir un comportamiento de fallas natural en el laboratorio.
Tiny Satellites Can Provide Significant Information About Space
Students and faculty at the University of Colorado Boulder use CubeSats to learn more about the near-Earth environment.
The Secret to Mimicking Natural Faults? Plexiglass and Teflon
Researchers found an effective way to produce natural fault behavior in the laboratory.
Extra Carbon Dioxide Helps Lower Layers of the Amazon Thrive—for Now
Plants living in the shadows grew faster when exposed to excess carbon dioxide. But this short-term effect could vanish in a high-emission-induced warmer future, making the forest a carbon source.
How Are Deep Soils Responding to Warming?
Scientists aim to integrate observations from deep-soil-warming experiments worldwide to better understand how ecosystems vital to food security and environmental health will react to climate change.
Warming Experiment Explores Consequences of Diminished Snow
The SPRUCE ecosystem in northern Minnesota offered a setting to research exactly how a snowy environment responds to rising temperatures.
التربة المكهربة تزيد نمو النباتات
خمسة أيام من الكهرباء المنخفضة الجهد الموجهة إلى جذور النباتات الناشئة عززت نموها بأكثر من 50 بالمئة.
The Open Ocean, Aerosols, and Every Other Breath You Take
Phytoplankton and other marine plants produce half of Earth’s atmospheric oxygen and have big effects on food webs and climate. To do so, they rely on nutrients from the sky that are hard to quantify.
Ionospheric Fireworks Illuminate Auroral Science
A sounding rocket experiment set off a spectacular nighttime light show over Scandinavia as it produced new insights into ionospheric behavior near an aurora.
