Plasma Waves Pinpointed at the Site of Magnetic Reconnection
When the Earth's and the Sun's magnetic fields meet, they realign in explosive and mysterious reconnections. Data suggest that plasma waves called kinetic Alfvén waves play a key role.
Swirling Eddies in the Antarctic May Have Global Impacts
A new model examines how eddies in the Antarctic Circumpolar Current affect volume transport of the world's strongest current.
How Mars Got Its Layered North Polar Cap
Orbital wobbling shaped the dome of ice and dust at the planet's north pole.
A Comparison of Surface Thinning in West Antarctic Glaciers
An uninterrupted 24-year altimetry record of Amundsen Sea Embayment glaciers indicates the initiation and pace of thinning have been inconsistent across the region.
River's Rise Linked to Oklahoma's Largest Earthquake
As human-induced earthquakes increase in frequency and magnitude, researchers race to uncover their effects on surface water and groundwater.
West Antarctic Ice Shelf Breaking Up from the Inside Out
Researchers trace the origin of a 2015 iceberg to a crack that formed deep beneath the ice.
Wave Gliding in the Eye of the Storm
Scientists use a new remote-controlled robot to capture data from the middle of an open ocean typhoon.
Oil Residues Accelerate Coastal Wetland Losses
Coastal wetland loss after an oil spill can be more extensive than after a hurricane.
Notorious Ocean Current Is Far Stronger Than Previously Thought
The Antarctic Circumpolar Current is the only ocean current to circle the planet and the largest wind-driven current on Earth. It's also 30% more powerful than scientists realized.
