Previous studies have posited that the mass extinction that wiped the dinosaurs off the face of the Earth was caused by the release of large volumes of sulfur from rocks within
In an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary study, an international team examined the social risks for Arctic regions associated with thawing permafrost. They identified five key risks related to infrastructure, transport and supply,
The synchronization of data from two natural climate archives — a speleothem from the Herbstlabyrinth Cave in Hesse (Germany) and ice cores from Greenland — offers new insights into the chronology
A new study analyzing a lake formed by a glacier surge in the Karakoram Mountains has revealed how satellite images can be used to monitor the potential for lake drainage hazards.
A new study has revealed the alarming extent glaciers have shrunk over the past 40 years in a global warming hotspot — and the biggest retreat has occurred in recent years.
DDT soil pollution is still a major problem in many parts of the world. Researchers have developed a new method to manage ecological risks from the toxin by binding it with
