当地震波在地球内部传播时，它们会逐渐损失能量，这一过程被称为衰减。这种能量损失并非均匀发生——地壳中的某些区域对地震波的能量吸收要远大于其他区域。研究人员可以通过观察地震波能量损耗的多少来绘制地下特征图。台湾岩石圈及隆升实验南部 ...

Three recent studies reveal how the interplay between El Niño and long-term global warming drove the record-breaking global temperatures of 2023. Global surface temperature anomalies since 1950, in ...

Researchers combined observations and modeling to track the movement of the Congo’s freshwater plume, noting that eddies play ...

Researchers used paleoclimate data, modeling, and measurements of sea surface temperature to learn more about future climate. They used the Western Pacific Warm Pool, seen here in 2016, as a reference ...

A rift event set off a domino effect of geologic processes that created conditions ripe for Antarctica’s glaciation, a new study suggests.

In fault gouge, fluids drive chemical healing by cementing grains, a mechanism for seismic slip in rocks frictionally ...

As a warming climate alters the Arctic landscape, beavers are moving northward, building dams as they go, creating new ponds, ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) can put together readings from multiple sensors more effectively than classic technology, ...

The Global South, in particular, is suffering from the consequences of global heating. A new study quantifies heat stress in ...

Mineral dust shapes Earth’s climate by influencing sunlight, clouds, nutrient transport, and even how quickly snow melts. But ...

Researchers 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.
