A pioneering method for soil moisture retrieval using satellite navigation systems has been introduced, significantly boosting the accuracy and efficiency of global data collection.
When Japanese samurai repelled the Mongols, their victories were attributed to typhoons whipped up by divine forces. Now, Ph.D. candidate Jérémy Le Blanc-Gauthier is taking a fresh look at the legend.
New research led by FAMU-FSU College of Engineering Assistant Professor Ebrahim Ahmadisharaf examined how drought and water volume in the Lower Apalachicola River watershed affect nitrogen and phosphorous, crucial nutrients for a healthy aquatic ecosystem.
For the last seven decades, Earth has been operating in unprecedented ways, leading many researchers to argue that we have entered a new geological epoch known as the Anthropocene.“While it may not have been formally accepted onto the geological time scale, the Anthropocene is real and its effects have drastically and irrevocably changed the living conditions on our planet,” said Julia Adeney Thomas, a professor of history at the University of Notre Dame.
An international team led by SMU paleontologist Louis L. Jacobs has found matching sets of Early Cretaceous dinosaur footprints on what are now two different continents. In terms of their geological and tectonic plates contexts, these dinosaur fossils were found to be almost identical.
Air pollution is increasing the severity of summertime thunderstorms, according to a recent study conducted by researchers at James Madison University and published in the journal Atmospheric Research.
University of Utah geophysicists find link between seismic waves called PKP precursors and anomalies in Earth's mantle that are associated with hotspots associated with volcanism on the surface.
Dr. Carl Lipo from Binghamton University studied Easter Island (Rapa Nui), where he has conducted extensive research on the famous moai statues and the island’s history.
There’s an important dividing line in the history of recent Texas earthquakes – those occurring before and after 2017, when the establishment of the Texas Seismological Network (TexNet) introduced the ability to monitor seismic events to much lower magnitude.
Computational modeling shows that plate tectonics weren’t necessary for early continents
A pioneering study has unlocked new insights into the immediate behavior of the Earth's crust following earthquakes. By applying sub-daily Global Positioning System (GPS) solutions, researchers have precisely measured the spatial and temporal evolution of early afterslip following the 2010 Mw 8.8 Maule earthquake. This innovative approach represents a significant advancement in seismic analysis, providing a more accurate and rapid depiction of ground deformations that are crucial for assessing seismic hazards and understanding fault line activities.
In the months that followed NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission, which sent a spacecraft to intentionally collide with an asteroid moonlet, the science team verified that kinetic impact was a viable deflection technique, proving one effective method of preventing future asteroid strikes on Earth.Since then, researchers have continued studying data collected from the successful experiment, focusing specifically on surface features of the binary asteroid system, composed of moonlet Dimorphos and parent asteroid Didymos.

Findings may explain location of largest Egyptian pyramid field
The novel Multiple Integer Candidates Ambiguity Resolution (MICAR) algorithm harmonizes Full Ambiguity Resolution (FAR) and Partial Ambiguity Resolution (PAR) under the Best Integer Equivariant (BIE) estimator, promising a transformative impact on navigation and positioning systems.
An international team of researchers led by the University of Bristol has shed light on Earth’s earliest ecosystem, showing that within a few hundred million years of planetary formation, life on Earth was already flourishing.
A pioneering study has completed a detailed mapping of 280 million buildings in East Asia, a region grappling with urbanization challenges. This mapping, the most extensive to date, utilizes very high-resolution (VHR) imagery to create a precise and comprehensive dataset.
Ammonites were not in decline before their extinction, scientists have found.
