The Role of Seafloor Methane in Ancient Global Warming

by Sarah Stanley 1 September 20162 November 2021

New research suggests that release of methane from seafloor hydrates was much slower than hypothesized during a period of rapid global warming about 56 million years ago.

How Do Gullies Form on Mars?

by Sarah Stanley 26 August 201628 July 2022

New orbiter data support an important role for seasonal frost—not liquid water—in the formation of Martian gullies.

Spotting the Source of Slow Solar Wind

by Kate Wheeling 24 August 201620 December 2021

A new study suggests that magnetic reconnection may fuel slow solar winds, which top out at speeds below 500 kilometers per second.

Does Water Vapor from Volcanic Eruptions Cause Climate Warming?

by A. Branscombe 11 August 201629 March 2022

By studying past volcanic eruptions, scientists find that the amount of water vapor reaching the stratosphere during moderately explosive eruptions may not be contributing to the greenhouse effect.

Cold Temperatures Set Off Slow-Moving Landslides

by A. Branscombe 8 August 20166 October 2021

Falling ground temperatures in the cold season are found to trigger shallow, slow-moving landslides on slopes with clayey soil.

Minerals Hint at Liquid Groundwater, More Oxygen in Mars's Past

by Sarah Stanley 5 August 20163 January 2023

Manganese deposits in Gale Crater fractures are similar to Earth features that usually require flowing water and highly oxidizing conditions.

Going Against the Flow: Documenting Seasonal Current Reversal

by A. Branscombe 3 August 201618 October 2022

Scientists discover the source of a coastal Korean current that reverses its flow in the summer.

How Irrigation in Asia Affects Rainfall in Africa

by Sarah Stanley 28 July 201619 October 2021

Up to 40% of the total rainfall in arid parts of East Africa may be caused by water vapor from farming practices in South Asia.
