Researchers find the more flood driving factors there are, the more extreme a flood is
There are several factors that play an important role in the development of floods: air temperature, soil moisture, snow depth, and the daily precipitation in the days before a flood. In order to better understand how individual factors contribute to.....»»
Astronomers conduct first search for forming planets with James Webb Space Telescope
Planets form in disks of dust and gas called protoplanetary disks that whirl around a central protostar during its final assembly. Although several dozens of such disks have been imaged, just two planets have been caught in the act of forming so far......»»

Team modulates electronic state of single-atom catalysts by CO molecular decoration for efficient methane conversion
Direct methane conversion has advantages such as low energy consumption, fewer processes, and better economics. However, it is difficult to activate methane at room temperature due to the high dissociation energy of C-H bonds of methane. Additionally.....»»
Seagrass meadows face uncertain future, scientists say
James Cook University scientists who analyzed seagrass meadows around the world say the crucial habitats are under increasing threat and need to incorporate new management strategies if they are to survive climate change. The study is published in Gl.....»»
Coral research finds bleaching impedes reproduction and hinders recovery
Bleaching can suppress reproduction in a common coral species found in the Great Barrier Reef, hampering future reef replenishment, new research led by the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) and James Cook University (JCU) has identified......»»
New study reveals influencers of global biogenic volatile organic compound emission trends over the last 20 years
Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) emitted by vegetation are important precursors of ozone and secondary organic aerosols in the atmosphere, affecting air quality, clouds, and climate. However, BVOC emissions remain highly uncertain because.....»»
Despite "deep state" fears, research shows federal workers are effective and committed, not subversive
It's common for political candidates to disparage "the government" even as they run for an office in which they would be part of, yes, running the government......»»
Saturn"s moon Enceladus top target for ESA

Stunning James Webb images show birth and death of massive stars
The James Webb Space Telescope continues to surprise us with stunning pictures, but of what exactly? Astronomer Nienke van der Marel shows with three images how massive stars lead short but explosive lives......»»
Researchers develop numerical models to better understand long-term effects on lake ecosystems
Although numerous lakes around the world have been showing an increase in annual mean temperature over the last few decades, it still remains difficult to assess long-term warming-related impacts in water bodies with various physical and chemical pro.....»»
New findings shed light on finding valuable "green" metals
Research led by Macquarie University sheds new light on how concentrations of metals used in renewable energy technologies can be transported from deep within the Earth's interior mantle by low temperature, carbon-rich melts......»»
In Lake Erie, climate change scrambles zooplankton"s seasonal presence
A new analysis of zooplankton in western Lake Erie shows that their biomass and seasonal behavioral patterns have been drastically altered by human-driven changes in water temperature and food webs......»»
Water persisted in Mars" Gale crater for longer than previously thought, study finds
Billions of years ago, Mars was home to abundant water, and its Gale crater contained a lake. Gradually, the climate changed, drying the red planet and creating the dusty desert world we know today......»»
A new way to quantify climate change impacts: "Outdoor days"
For most people, reading about the difference between a global average temperature rise of 1.5 C versus 2 C doesn't conjure up a clear image of how their daily lives will actually be affected. So, researchers at MIT have come up with a different way.....»»
Astronomers confirm a new "Trojan" asteroid that shares an orbit with Mars
Using observations made with the Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) a study led from the Instituto de AstrofĂsica de Canarias (IAC) and the Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM) has confirmed that the asteroid 2023 FW14, discovered last year, is accom.....»»
The Mars science helicopter could be an airborne geologist on Mars
After more than 70 successful flights, a broken rotor ended the remarkable and groundbreaking Ingenuity helicopter mission on Mars. Now, NASA is considering how a larger, more capable helicopter could be an airborne geologist on the Red Planet. For t.....»»
Scientists detail research to assess the viability and risks of marine cloud brightening
As the levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere continue to increase and climate change impacts become more costly, the scientific community is redoubling efforts to investigate the potential risks and benefits of artificially shading Earth's sur.....»»
