Darker, Less Cloudy Earth Contributed to Record Heat
Decreases to our planet’s albedo caused by fewer low-lying clouds helped push temperatures to historic highs in 2023, according to new research.
Wave-Modulated Electron Loss Affects GPS Location Determination
Earth’s magnetosphere controls ionospheric total electron content modulation via plasma wave-induced electron loss impacting GPS spatial location determination.
Imaging Magma from Afar
Reservoirs of magma and fluids in the crust create gravity anomalies detectable by altimetry, which can help find submarine volcanoes and provide key insights into their depth, shape and volume.
Climate Change Is Driving Dangerous Bacteria Farther North
Satellite data could help address rising rates of vibriosis infections, often the result of eating undercooked seafood, along the East Coast of the United States.
Satellite Measurements Make Major Seafloor Map Improvements
Though ship-based sounding has mapped some areas of the ocean floor in higher resolution, researchers have used SWOT data to create a detailed new map of the seafloor, including thousands of previously undetected small seamounts.
The Survival of Arctic Sea Ice May Depend on Its Travel Routes
Researchers find that the motions of ice parcels determine which ones survive the annual summer melt.
Three Ways to Track Venusquakes, from Balloons to Satellites
The planet’s harsh conditions make studying seismicity challenging, but it is likely possible.
Ground-based Transmitters Cause Radiation Belt Electron Loss
A U.S. Navy transmitter in Australia produces wisps of electron loss as observed by the Colorado Inner Radiation Belt Experiment (CIRBE) CubeSat in Low Earth Orbit.
Smithsonian Exhibit Connects Sky-High Views with Down-Home Impacts
“Preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we’ve ever known.”
