Forecasting Earthquake Ruptures from Slow Slip Evolution
A new generation of physics-based models that integrate temporal slip evolution over decades to seconds opens new possibilities for understanding how large subduction zone earthquakes occur.
Scientists Gain a New Tool to Listen for Nuclear Explosions
Mathematics and computer modeling help scientists tell natural earthquakes from nuclear tests.
Machine Learning Accelerates the Simulation of Dynamical Fields
Fourier neural operator solvers accurately emulate particle-resolved direct numerical simulations and significantly reduce the computational time by two orders of magnitude.
Passing Stars Shorten Earth’s Time Horizon
Stars in the solar neighborhood could jostle planetary orbits, making it harder to turn back the clock and examine Earth’s orbital or climate history.
Giant Impacts Might Have Triggered Snowball Earth Events
Running into the right space rock at the right time may have been enough to tip Earth into a runaway cold spell.
La acidez del océano antártico aumentará rápidamente a finales del siglo
Nuevos estudios muestran que los niveles de acidez podrían llegar a duplicarse para el 2100, poniendo en peligro los ecosistemas frágiles del gélido Océano Austral.
Coming to a Consensus on Carbon
A new study describes inconsistencies in how different Earth system models predict soil carbon levels in a warming climate.
Los países más pobres enfrentan consecuencias más graves del cambio climático
A medida que los bosques se desplazan hacia latitudes más altas, las naciones enfrentan pérdidas tanto de beneficios ecosistémicos de mercado como no mercantiles.
