The first multidecadal, satellite-based study of Latin America’s most active volcanoes could help researchers better predict eruptions.Read More »Geology & Geophysics
Using nearly 50 years of satellite data and records stretching back millennia, scientists determine the relative frequency—and the erosional power—of monsoon- and earthquake-induced landslides in Nepal.Read More »Natural Hazards
Developments in geophysical methods used to monitor surface and subsurface changes prior to landslides can lead to improved prediction and early warning.Read More »Hydrology, Cryosphere & Earth Surface
Hotter conditions have played a much greater role in reducing flow during the ongoing Millennium Drought than in a mid-20th century drought.Read More »
With so many eyes in the sky, residents living downstream from dams now have many ways to see—and prepare for—potential dangers. Read More »Climate Change
A prototype model allows scientists to investigate how wind eddies and other atmospheric phenomena may affect the prevalence of heat waves and cold snaps in the Southern Hemisphere.Read More »Geochemistry, Mineralogy, Volcanology
Evidence from volcanic crystals sheds light on magma storage under Mount Agung and helps explain this giant volcano’s frequent eruptions.Read More »Geology & Geophysics
Stromboli’s volcanic cone may have suffered multiple flank collapses between the 14th and 16th centuries, triggering tsunamis that led to the abandonment of the island.Read More »
