In many rivers, only a small amount of streamflow remains for nature after water is diverted for hydropower production. In light of climate change and biodiversity loss, this is having increasingly serious consequences. Researchers from WSL,...
Scientists have identified what could be the oldest rocks on Earth from a rock formation in Canada. The Nuvvuagittuq Greenstone Belt has long been known for its ancient rocks—plains of streaked gray stone on the eastern shore...

Earth’s magnetic field: Origin, structure, and impact on humanity

Earth’s magnetic field, also known as the geomagnetic field, is a powerful, vital phenomenon that extends from the interior of the Earth into outer...

Helicopters could map the magnetic fields on Mars

A recent study published in The Planetary Science Journal examines how helicopters equipped with a magnetometer could be used to conduct magnetic field investigations...

Slight shifts in magnetic field preceded California earthquakes

Researchers studying intermediate to large earthquakes in California have discovered detectable changes in the local magnetic field that occur 2–3 days before an earthquake....

Magnetic oceans and electric Earth

Oceans might not be thought of as magnetic, but they make a tiny contribution to our planet’s protective magnetic shield. Remarkably, ESA’s Swarm satellites...
