Students from the University of Delaware summarize new research in geosciences!
Thawing permafrost is affecting fish health
Researchers showed that thawing permafrost reduces the quantity and quality of fish species in Arctic streams by raising water temperatures…
Wildfires and forest harvesting worsen severe weather impacts
Scientists found that forest harvesting and wildfires in British Columbia are causing severe weather events to create more geohazards, like…
Can melting ice increase glacial hazards?
Scientists determined the driving forces behind catastrophic events linked to glaciers in the Eastern Himalayas.
Using seaweed to harvest valuable metals
Researchers demonstrated that blooms of the free-floating seaweed Sargassum can sustainably extract rare earth elements from water.
Cold shocks in a warming ocean affect large marine animals
Researchers identified trends in extreme cold events that can push migratory animals, such as bull sharks, beyond their thermal tolerance…
A new method to detect volcanic eruptions
Scientists developed a new seismic-based signalling system that provides early alerts of volcanic eruptions.
Lithium mining impacts local waters
Researchers found elevated metal concentrations in surface waters and groundwater downstream of lithium-containing hard rock processing…
Scientists find frost on Martian volcanoes
Researchers found frost accumulations on Martian volcanoes that formed from water vapor in the atmosphere.
