Seven dead, thousands evacuated as tropical storm batters Philippines
Philippine rescuers waded through chest-deep floodwaters Wednesday to reach residents trapped by Tropical Storm Trami, which has killed seven people and forced thousands to evacuate as it barrels toward the east coast......»»
Modeling study shows that marshes provide cost-effective coastal protection
Images of coastal houses being carried off into the sea due to eroding coastlines and powerful storm surges are becoming more commonplace as climate change brings a rising sea level coupled with more powerful storms. In the U.S. alone, coastal storms.....»»
2025 VW ID Buzz: Heavy on the nostalgia, road; light on the range
The ID Buzz is more than a play for nostalgia. It helps VW expand into another, though, shrinking segment. VW expects the vehicle to draw buyers from minivans, crossovers and SUVs......»»
May 2024 super geomagnetic storm challenges current space weather prediction models
During May 2024, a series of eruption events on the sun saw the largest geomagnetic storm hit Earth in two decades. The largest since the solar storms of Halloween 2003, it occurred from May 10 to May 13, producing aurorae as far south as the Canary.....»»
Walk or run in the rain? A physics-based approached to staying dry (or at least drier)
We've all been there—caught outside without an umbrella as the sky opens up. Whether it's a light drizzle or a heavy downpour, instinct tells us that running will minimize how wet we get. But is that really true? Let's take a scientific look at thi.....»»
Modeling experiments show weather-changing El Niño oscillation is at least 250 million years old
The El Niño event, a huge blob of warm ocean water in the tropical Pacific Ocean that can change rainfall patterns around the globe, isn't just a modern phenomenon......»»

Drones prove effective way to monitor maize re-growth, researchers report
Maize, or corn, grows tall, with thin stalks that boast ears of the cereal grain used in food production, trade and security globally. However, due to rain, wind and other increasingly extreme weather events, the maize falls down, risking the entire.....»»
Incorporating effects of sea spray into models to improve hurricane intensity forecasting
Hurricanes are massive, complex systems that can span hundreds of miles as they swirl around the low pressure of the storm's eye. In such a complicated situation, predicting how powerful a hurricane will grow is a difficult undertaking......»»
New technique enhances precision in measuring short-lived atomic nuclei
Researchers at the Heavy Ion Research Facility in Lanzhou (HIRFL-CSR) have introduced a technique, Tune-IMS, designed to improve the precision of isochronous mass spectrometry (IMS) in measuring short-lived atomic nuclei. The development offers refin.....»»
