Buried Sediments Point to an Ancient Ocean on Mars
Ground-penetrating radar data collected by the Zhurong rover reveal gently sloping sediments in Mars’s northern lowlands that hint at a shoreline.
Crevasses on the Greenland Ice Sheet Are Growing
High-resolution 3D maps show crevasse volume is increasing across most of the Greenland Ice Sheet as it accelerates toward the ocean, which could affect future ice loss and sea level rise.
Flooding from Below: The Unseen Risks of Sea Level Rise
Researchers demonstrate a method for assessing how rising seas could raise groundwater levels, potentially transmitting flood hazards far inland.
