New study says left-over planetesimals, not asteroids, created the moon’s largest craters

ASTRONOMY
The moon's pock-marked surface tells the story of its history. It's marked by over 9,000 impact craters, according to the International Astronomical Union (IAU.)...

Study shows mountain glacier melting is linked to shifting westerlies and likely to accelerate

EARTH
The combination of global atmospheric warming and westerly winds shifting toward the poles will likely speed up the recession of mountain glaciers in both...

Study reveals atmosphere-driven glacier mass loss changes at Urumqi Glacier

ENVIRONMENT
Glacier mass balance is one of the most important parameters characterizing glacier changes. However, the scarcity of glacier mass balance and meteorological data in...

Study shows that strongest Arctic cyclone on record led to surprising loss of sea ice

OCEANOGRAPHY
A warming climate is causing a decline in sea ice in the Arctic Ocean, where loss of sea ice has important ecological, economic and...

Oldest planetary debris in our galaxy found in new study

ASTRONOMY
Astronomers led by the University of Warwick have identified the oldest star in our galaxy that is accreting debris from orbiting planetesimals, making it...

Earth’s warming hole not indication of abrupt climate change event, study finds

CLIMATE
A new study from scientists at the University of Miami (UM) Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science suggests that the pattern of...

Study reveals new insights into how fast-moving glaciers may contribute to sea level rise

OCEANOGRAPHY
Climate change is resulting in sea level rise as ice on land melts and oceans expand. How much and how fast sea levels will...

Refreezing Earth’s poles feasible and cheap, new study finds

EARTH
The poles are warming several times faster than the global average, causing record smashing heatwaves that were reported earlier this year in both the...

New study cracks the code for future exploration of oil and gas in the Jizhong depression

EARTH
Oil and gas are two of the most important natural resources, contributing to over half of the world's energy supply. Reserves of these resources...

Artificial ocean cooling to weaken hurricanes is futile, study finds

EARTH
A new study found that even if we did have the infinite power to artificially cool enough of the oceans to weaken a hurricane,...

Study unearths ancient reef structure high and dry on the Nullarbor Plain

EARTH
Curtin University researchers and international collaborators using advanced satellite imagery have discovered an ancient reef-like landform "hidden" in plain view on the Nullarbor Plain,...

First results from the paleomagnetic study of Cumbre Vieja

EARTH
Josep M. Parés, coordinator of the Geochronology and Geology Program at the Centro Nacional de Investigación sobre la Evolución Humana (CENIEH), has led the...
