Recycled Rocks Reveal Subduction Zone Dynamics Off Baja California

by Alexis Ault 21 May 202621 May 2026

High-pressure rocks on Cedros Island were exhumed, eroded, and redeposited into the subduction trench multiple times, reshaping interpretations of ancient plate boundary processes.

Changes in Sea Ice Microstructure Could Affect Climate Models

by Skyler Ware 20 May 202620 May 2026

Granular sea ice needs to be twice as porous as columnar ice to allow water to flow through it—up to 10% brine by volume.

Why the IPCC Seems Poised to Eliminate Its Most Extreme Emissions Scenario

by Grace van Deelen 19 May 202619 May 2026

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the United Nations body whose mission is to “provide governments at all levels with scientific information that they can use to develop climate policies” will likely update the emissions and land use scenarios used in the models it considers in its bellwether assessment reports.
