Crystal coatings could help solve mystery of fracture patterns
Fractures are everywhere. They are the cracks in the sidewalk. The rifts in roadcuts. The spidery textures in brick and boulders. And those are just the fractures visible at the surface. Underground, fractures can spread throughout rocks creating complex networks…
Stalled weather patterns will get bigger due to climate change
Rice-led study uncovers relationship between jet stream, atmospheric blocking events
Severity of earthquake impact may change with the seasons, study shows
The devastating impact caused by earthquakes on the local communities and environment could differ in severity depending on the season a pioneering new study on two historic earthquakes in Kazakhstan has suggested. In this study, the team which includes an…
Nitrous oxide emissions set to rise in the Pacific Ocean
Today’s rising CO2 emissions are changing oceans’ pH levels, making them more acidic. We can already see the harmful effects in the coral reefs. Yet other chemical processes – whose environmental impact is not fully known – are also being…

NASA observes Tropical Storm Matmo in North Central Bay of Bengal
NASA-NOAA’s Suomi NPP satellite passed over the Bay of Bengal, Northern Indian Ocean and found that Tropical Storm Matmo was positioned in the center of that body of water. Visible imagery from the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) instrument…
NASA-NOAA satellite finds Tropical Storm Nakri affecting Kalayaan
NASA-NOAA’s Suomi NPP satellite passed over Tropical Storm Nakri and captured a visible image of the storm in the South China Sea. Although the bulk of the storm was not over any land areas, Nakri’s southwestern quadrant was over the…
NASA satellite imagery finds Typhoon Halong resembles a boxing glove
Typhoon Halong has packed quite a punch and imagery from NASA’s Terra satellite found that the storm resembled a boxing glove. On Nov. 7, NASA’s Terra satellite passed over the northwestern Pacific Ocean and the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer or…
Newly formed tropical storm Nakri seen by NASA-NOAA satellite
NASA-NOAA’s Suomi NPP satellite passed over the South China Sea and captured a visible image of newly formed Tropical Storm Nakri while it remained quasi-stationary and as it slowly organized. Nakri, known in the Philippines as Quiel, formed west of…
NASA-NOAA satellite finds tropical Cyclone Maha weakening
NASA-NOAA’s Suomi NPP satellite passed over the Northern Indian Ocean and provided forecasters at the Joint Typhoon Warning Center with a view of Tropical Cyclone Maha’s eroding structure that helped confirm it is weakening. On Nov. 6, 2019, the Visible…
NASA-NOAA satellite finds super typhoon Halong finally weakening
Super Typhoon Halong has finally peaked in intensity and is now on a weakening trend. NASA-NOAA’s Suomi NPP satellite passed over the Northwestern Pacific Ocean and provided a look at the storm. On Nov. 5, Halong was a powerful Category…
Solar and wind energy preserve groundwater for drought, agriculture
California’s switch to solar, wind energy reduced reliance on hydropower, natural gas
Exceptional fossils may need a breath of air to form
Some of the world’s most exquisite fossil beds were formed millions of years ago during time periods when the Earth’s oceans were largely without oxygen. That association has led paleontologists to believe that the world’s best-preserved fossil collections come from…
