A new study has found that ice loss from glaciers in Alaska has been causing an increase in both the frequency and magnitude of earthquakes over 5.0 in the region. While sea level rise, extreme weather and surface ice loss are the more apparent consequences of global warming, it’s easyread more
Iceland has experienced over 20,000 moderate earthquakes since the ongoing swarm began on February 24, accompanied by increasing signs of magma movement beneath the surface. Although all but two of the quakes have been below 5.0 on the Richter scale, the nigh-continuous stream of tremors signals the possibility of an imminent eruption fromread more
According to more than one recent study the ocean currents in the North Atlantic are in more precarious shape than was previously realized. It is now extremely likely that our climate crisis may further impair the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC)—now at a 1,000-year low—sooner than anticipated, calling for immediateread more
Although assumed that reversals in the Earth’s magnetic field has little noticeable impact on the living organisms on this planet, the discovery of well-preserved trees dating from the last geomagnetic reversal 42,000 years ago suggest that such an event may cause major disruptions for both the climate, and the planet’sread more
