Uncovering the potential for geoscience research in Canada’s North
David Mate, Executive Director of the Northern Canada Division, Geological Survey of Canada, shares how the GEM-GeoNorth program is using geoscience research to improve the quality of life for Canadians.
Mentoring diverse graduate students in agriculture, geoscience, and related disciplines: Are you a mentor?
Mentoring starts from within the faculty member – a mentor guides a student from situation to solution using their lived experiences and expertise.
Marine geoscience research and UK aggregates
It is often said that we know more about the surface of the moon or Mars than the ocean floor, but marine geoscience research is enabling a better understanding of some of the biggest issues.
Solar wind can provoke earthquakes: Possible magnetosphere-solid earth tornado
This article explores the potential influence of solar wind on earthquake occurrences, drawing on findings that show a correlation between strong earthquakes and geomagnetic storms, particularly in areas beneath the polar cusp during storm events.
Cracking the code of active volcanoes
Through the Horizon 2020-funded IMPROVE project, European scientists are deploying cutting-edge tools to reveal the hidden dynamics of Earth’s most powerful forces.
Flood risk in Pacific Northwest is increasing due to earthquake and rising sea levels
Thousands in the Pacific Northwest face a heightened flood risk, not just from rising sea levels, but from the land itself potentially sinking. A new study details how a major earthquake could drastically expand vulnerable coastal areas.
10th Anniversary of the 2015 M7.8 Nepal earthquake: Explore new prediction technologies
Dr. Dimitar Ouzounov from the Institute for Earth, Computing, Human, and Observing (Institute for ECHO) at Chapman University and Dr. Angelo De Santis from the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (Rome, Italy) are exploring new technologies for short-term earthquake forecasting and prediction, including the application of the LAIC approach to the 2015 Gorkha earthquakes in Nepal.
Seismic resilience in the age of AI and advanced remote sensing
Prof. Dr. Cecilia Van Cauwenberghe, PhD, MSc, BS, MBA, is Research Director at Everest Group. Here, she explores seismic resilience in the age of artificial intelligence and advanced remote sensing, focusing on how science and technology transform earthquake preparedness.
The Earth’s inner core is changing shape, study reveals
Deep within Earth, a hidden transformation is underway. Scientists have discovered that the inner core's surface is changing shape, challenging previous assumptions about its solid nature. This dynamic activity could influence Earth's rotation and magnetic field.
Agricultural terraces in Europe: Geoarchaeological and botanical methods
Tony Brown, Dan Fallu, Sara Cucchiaro, Ben Pears, and the TerrACE Team, highlight agricultural terraces in Europe, providing geoarchaeological and botanical insights.
The antarctic peninsula greening at rapid rate due to climate change
The Antarctic Peninsula is experiencing an extreme transformation as vegetation cover has multiplied over the past four decades.
