Threefold increase in atmospheric–riverine compound heatwaves under climate change
Record-breaking heatwaves disrupt global water, energy and food systems, yet the co-occurrence of atmospheric and riverine events remains largely unexplored. Here we analyse 796...
Earth’s hidden “gold kitchen” lies beneath the seafloor
Deep beneath submarine volcanoes, Earth may be running a natural “gold kitchen.” By analyzing volcanic glass from the Kermadec island arc north of New...
One of Earth’s most explosive supervolcanoes is recharging with fresh magma
Deep beneath Japan’s mostly submerged Kikai caldera, scientists have discovered a vast magma reservoir that appears to be filling again. The volcano produced the...
Campi Flegrei: Bodenhebung setzt sich konstant fort
Bodenhebung der Campi Flegrei setzt sich konstant fort und beträgt seit 2005 bereits 1.670 Millimeter – Höchstwert der modernen Messgeschichte. Die Seismizität der Campi...
Abrupt transition to irreversible damage in the overdrafted Sacramento Valley aquifer system
Groundwater extraction can cause both reversible and irreversible ground deformation, with the latter leading to permanent land subsidence and loss of groundwater storage capacity....
Asteroid strike caused global firestorm that incinerated the dinosaurs
The asteroid strike 66 million years ago caused a planetary-scale firestorm that burned dinosaurs to a crisp all over the world, according to simulations...
A slowing Atlantic current could unleash stronger California storms
A weakening Atlantic current could supercharge California’s atmospheric rivers while leaving Greenland with fewer snow-producing storms. The changes could raise flood risks, strain infrastructure,...
We published a new topic page on economic inequality
Public attention to economic inequality has grown a lot over the last twenty years. Alongside, the available data has greatly improved too: estimates now...
Recent active rifting on Venus revealed by wide rift flank uplifts
Comparisons between thermomechanical models and Venusian rift morphologies indicate that rifts on Venus are still, or were recently, active and may have undergone faster...
Prepared for the Predictable? What a New Assessment of National Strategies Reveals about Resource Security
Most policy discussions about sustainability focus on emission targets, biodiversity commitments, or climate finance. A new report from Global Footprint Network and Greenings, “Prepared...
