🌐 If you enjoy reading about Comparative Planetary Geology, then you are going rreading this Eos article like I did! One of these days, I'm going to add books comparing the geology of both Earth and Mars to my digital and physical bookshelves. 📚📚📚
EosSometimes scientists don’t have to go far to study the heavens. Researchers learned how the surface of Mars could have formed by studying lakes found right here on Earth. eos.org/research-spo...
AC is a life-saver. In many regions, the poor will have a hard time getting it: "by 2050, about 10 times as many heat-related deaths would occur in poor countries as in richer ones." eos.org/research-and... @emfurd.bsky.social @eos.org
A Changing Climate Will Lead to More AC in Wealthier Countries, and More Deaths in Poor Ones, New Report Suggests - EosA new report finds that the regions most affected by extreme heat are also the regions least likely to have increased levels of electricity to power the air conditioning that might provide relief.eos.org
In #Taiwan, a large rockslide last month, the Wanlixi #landslide, has blocked a river, creating a barrier lake with a volume of about 6 million cubic metres. The dam is being monitored 24 hours per day in case of a breach. eos.org/thelandslide...
Moorlands and forests in the Cairngorms, in the Scottish Highlands, have fallen victim to the rapidly spreading wildfires in Europe. “If you have lost a 250- or 300-year-old Caledonian pine, you are not going to get that back overnight,” the chief executive of the Cairngorms National Park said.
As Wildfires Plague Europe, Scotland Races to Save a Cherished National ParkAs Europe’s climate warms, even moorlands and forests in the Cairngorms, in the Scottish Highlands, have fallen victim to rapidly spreading flames.nyti.ms
Artemis III is getting closer and training for the mission is ramping up! 🧑🚀 At NASA's Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory in Houston, exploration geologists and Artemis science officers Trevor Graff and Angela Garcia suited up for a lunar training run in the 40-foot-deep pool, ... Credit: NASA
Forty thousand cubic meters of fresh water flow from the Congo into the Atlantic every second. A new study traces where it goes from there. 🔗Learn more in @eos.org: eos.org/research-spo...
Forty Thousand Cubic Meters of Fresh Water Flow from the Congo into the Atlantic Every Second. A New Study Traces Where It Goes from There. - EosResearchers combined observations and modeling to track the movement of the Congo’s freshwater plume, noting that eddies play a significant role in the water’s transport.eos.org
Air travel is getting bumpier 🛩️. Modeling shows a controversial climate intervention could help 🚫☀️. Last week for @eos.org: eos.org/articles/str...
Stratospheric Aerosol Injection Might Make Flights Smoother - EosA new study suggests an intervention aimed at cooling the planet could have the additional benefit of reducing aircraft turbulence.eos.org
As temperatures rise, so will electricity use in wealthier countries. Some areas won’t have that option. My latest for Eos.
EosAs the climate changes, about 377,000 people in low-and lower middle-income countries could die from heat-related causes each year by 2050, a new report suggests. eos.org/research-and...
"The results also revealed that these methane emissions increased by 9.9% from 2003 to 2022. This increase reflected both a growing number of small wetlands and climatic changes that spurred them to generate more emissions." 🌎 eos.org/articles/big...
Big Trouble from Little Wetlands - EosNew research suggests that small wetlands, previously unaccounted for in the global methane budget, are responsible for about 25% of global methane emissions.eos.org
