Devastation in Maui.

Devastation in Maui Strong winds and dry weather helped fuel destructive wildfires on Hawaii’s second-largest island.

Biogeochemical insights from a major Amazonian river.

Biogeochemical insights from a major Amazonian river Rivers provide water to billions of people and are critical linkages between continental ecosystems and oceans. Every run and every riffle reshape the surrounding landscape as a river transports nutrients and sediment downstream. Yet many rivers, including large tributaries in the Amazon Basin, the....

Lidar uses that I have never thought of before! Lidar Reveals the True Faces of California's Volcanoes.

Lidar reveals the true faces of California's volcanoes | U.S. Geological Survey Volcanoes in California (and everywhere!) are often covered with vegetation, including thick forests. Fortunately, the USGS can use laser technology to cut through the canopy and reveal the geology beneath.

Climate change: Norwegian seafloor holds clue to Antarctic melting.

Climate change: Norwegian seafloor holds clue to Antarctic melting Muddy ridges off the Norwegian coast explain how Antarctic glaciers could go into a more rapid retreat.

Climate, ice sheets & sea level: the news is not good.

Climate, ice sheets & sea level: the news is not good Parts of Earth's ice sheets that could lift global oceans by meters will likely crumble with another half degree Celsius of warming, and are fragile in ways not previously understood, according to new research.

New finding provides better understanding of oceans' capacity to absorb atmospheric carbon dioxide.

New finding provides better understanding of oceans' capacity to absorb atmospheric carbon dioxide A new study demonstrates the important role of a common group of marine calcifying phytoplankton (coccolithophores) in the regulation of carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations in the atmosphere.
