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.
Melting glaciers release methane
Geologists studied gas fluxes from groundwater springs uncovered by melting Arctic glaciers. They estimated that these springs release over…
New way to find geothermal energy
Scientists used an exploration approach developed by the oil industry to track down geothermal energy sources.
