A volcano has erupted remnants of Earth’s primordial magma ocean

Earth was once covered by a global magma ocean, which later cooled and crystallised – now traces of this primordial event have been found...

In-depth characterisation of organic matter thermal lability and composition from Arctic Permafrost thaw slumps

Abrupt permafrost thaw mobilizes ancient organic matter, which could fuel further warming, yet its fate remains uncertain. We studied thaw slumps in Arctic Canada...

Linking plates to plumes in the Cretaceous Pacific

Two independent studies imply that a remarkable burst of voluminous volcanism on the Pacific plate during the Cretaceous is attributable to coupled plate–mantle dynamics....

Super El Niño: Wie ein Ozean die Welt verändern kann

Alle paar Jahre gibt der Pazifik enorme Mengen an Wärme an die Atmosphäre ab und bringt so die normalen Wettermuster grundlegend durcheinander. Doch was...

Nyamuragira und Nyiragongo mit starken Wärmeemissionen

Nyamuragira und Nyiragongo: Zwei Nachbarvulkane emittierten Wärmestrahlung - Die beiden benachbarten Vulkane Nyamuragira und Nyiragongo in der Demokratischen Republik Kongo emittieren derzeit eine hohe...

The emergence of human influence on the ozone layer by the 1960s

This paper examines the earliest emergence of human-caused ozone depletion: the when, the where, and the why. We employ a thought-experiment framework aimed at...

The deep link between intraplate volcanism and plate tectonics

Two independent studies suggest that thousands of submarine volcanoes in the Pacific Ocean and offshore Africa are likely to have resulted from two high-temperature...

Vulkan Anak Krakatau mit anhaltenden Ascheemissionen

Vulkan Anak Krakatau weiterhin aktiv: Ascheemissionen und erhöhte Erdbebenaktivität Der Vulkan Krakatau, insbesondere der jüngste Teil des Inselvulkans Anak Krakatau, zeigte in den letzten...

Huge crater in Australia may be the oldest impact structure on Earth

A study claims that the North Pole Dome crater in Western Australia was caused by an asteroid strike 3 billion years ago, but other...

Influence of tropospheric temperature on the formation and aging of secondary organic aerosol from biogenic vapor mixtures

We investigate how temperature (213–313K) affects secondary organic aerosol (SOA) particles derived from isoprene and α-pinene mixtures. Isoprene's suppression on α-pinene dimer formation varied...
