India faces challenging heat waves each year, but few places endure conditions as searing as the country's western desert salt pans, where workers rely on simple techniques to survive almost unbearabl
A colossal underwater volcano in the South Pacific may have revealed a surprising new weapon against climate change. After the 2022 eruption of Hunga Tonga–Hunga Ha’apai, scientists detected enormous
Scientists have uncovered strong evidence that a major Atlantic Ocean current system tied to global climate is weakening. The slowdown has been detected across a vast region of the North Atlantic over
Scientists have uncovered a hidden Antarctic threat that could accelerate global sea level rise far faster than expected. Deep beneath floating ice shelves, long channels carved into the ice appear to
How are cold air masses advancing in the United States connected to fertilizers carried by "flying rivers" from Africa that nourish the soils of the Brazilian Amazon? An article published in Geophysic
We replaced the stove with plywood, turning the kitchen of the dive boat into an impromptu research lab. Plugging in wires and connecting tubing, we assembled a scientific instrument within the crampe
Seasonal models are predicting an El Niño climate pattern that could be the strongest on record, bringing with it more extreme weather.
Imagine being tasked with counting every blade of grass in a field, noting every single species as you go. This is not far from the challenge many scientists face when analyzing microscopic samples pa
What's the link between the global economy and the climate? Consumption drives extraction and carbon emissions. But there is more. The inequalities of the global economy don't just shape what goes int
We present a novel procedure for generating synthetic well logs that simultaneously preserves multivariate correlations among petrophysical properties (Density, P-Sonic, S-Sonic) and vertical stacking patterns of electrofacies. The methodology integrates Markov chain models, autoencoder-based dimens
We present three-dimensional Dedalus simulations of Rayleigh-Bénard convection with a blackbody-radiating free upper surface, subject to a low-amplitude oscillatory forcing that mimics tidal perturbations in convective envelopes of stars and planets. The forcing period is 10-100 times shorter than t
Snow slab avalanches are among the most dangerous natural hazards in mountain areas. Recent progress in numerical modelling, field measurements, and large-scale fracture experiments has renewed interest in shear-failure interpretations of avalanche release, particularly in connection with dynamic cr
Magma ocean crystallisation sets up the early structure and long-term evolution of terrestrial planets. Recent seismic evidence signals the presence of a silicate layer at the base of Mars' mantle. Magma-ocean crystallisation and subsequent overturn has been invoked as a hypothesis for this layer's
Predicting and controlling the transport of colloids in porous media is essential for applications ranging from contaminant remediation to drug delivery. In these complex environments, solute gradients are ubiquitous and could drive diffusiophoretic particle migration, yet their impact on macroscopi
Hydrogen is a promising candidate for the light element in terrestrial planetary cores. Its incorporation into iron causes significant volume expansion, leading to a substantial density deficit. Although extensive studies have been conducted on iron hydride (FeH$_{x}$) with the fcc structure, the th
Cosmic magnetic fields are typically inhomogeneous and often highly tangled due to large-scale plasma flows, turbulence, and instabilities. If the variations in the magnetic field occur on scales that are large compared to the gyro-radius of the plasma electrons, the electrons are primarily confined
Reservoir characterization workflows increasingly rely on image-based and machine-learning/deep learning or even generative AI approaches, but openly available geological image datasets suitable for reproducible benchmarking remain limited. Here we describe a high-resolution dataset of reservoir-pro
