Antarctica Gets a New Gravity Map

Sarah Stanley, Science Writer by Sarah Stanley 18 March 201628 October 2021

A comprehensive collection of variation in Earth's gravity could aid studies of the Antarctic geoid and of Antarctica's geology and ice sheet dynamics.

Demystifying Mercury "Hollows"

by Terri Cook 11 March 201628 July 2022

Spectral data from NASA's MESSENGER spacecraft indicate that the properties of the depressions on Mercury's surface can vary within a single crater and that these differences may correlate to age.

Gamma Ray Bursts Leave Their Mark in the Low Ionosphere

by L. Strelich 10 March 201610 March 2023

Scientists use very low and low-frequency radio signals to detect short gamma ray bursts and their impact on the low ionosphere.

How Oceans Could Change If We Reverse Anthropogenic Warming

by David Shultz 4 March 20167 March 2023

A computer simulation shows a net increase in primary production by phytoplankton if climate change were mitigated by 2200 but also indicates big changes in the makeup of those species.

What Causes the Strange Pulses in Saturn's Magnetosphere?

Sarah Stanley, Science Writer by Sarah Stanley 4 March 201627 January 2022

A new model shows that a spiral wave may explain why many phenomena in the gas giant's magnetosphere undergo periodic cycles.

The North Atlantic Ocean's Missing Heat Is Found in Its Depths

Cody Sullivan by C. Sullivan 3 March 201612 January 2022

In the 2000s, the North Atlantic stopped absorbing as much atmospheric warmth. However, the ocean lost only a little heat—the rest was held deeper below the surface by altered circulation patterns.

Unknown Tsunami Trigger Hides Along a Creeping Aleutian Fault

Cody Sullivan by C. Sullivan 3 March 201624 January 2023

A seismically quiet part of the Aleutian Subduction Zone may have caused tsunamis in the past—and may cause future tsunamis that could travel across the Pacific Ocean.

Ocean Waves Vibrating the Ross Ice Shelf

by L. Strelich 26 February 201613 January 2022

Scientists use seismic stations to study ice shelf vibrations generated by ocean waves to better understand their impact on the integrity of the Ross Ice Shelf.

Fewer Tropical Cyclones Form After Volcanic Eruptions

Cody Sullivan by C. Sullivan 24 February 201617 November 2022

Volcanic eruptions aren't all bad—in some cases, they can lower the frequency of tropical cyclones in the North Atlantic by emitting sulfate aerosols.

Does El Niño Intensity Affect Precipitation in California?

by Terri Cook 24 February 20166 March 2023

Modeling experiments demonstrate that strong El Niños greatly increase odds for wet winters over California's principal watersheds compared to impacts of weak and moderate El Niños.
