Greenland mega-tsunami shook the Earth for nine days, study reveals

In a groundbreaking study, scientists have uncovered an astonishing phenomenon: a massive landslide in Greenland triggered a mega-tsunami that caused the Earth to vibrate for an unprecedented nine days. This extraordinary event, which began with the collapse of a towering 1.2-kilometer-high mountain peak, resulted in seismic waves that rippled through the planet’s crust, creating vibrations that were detected across the globe. The findings, which involve researchers from University College London (UCL), offer new insights into the complex interactions between climate

Bats and Bees: How Ni-Vanuatu Predict Storms and the Impact of Climate Change

The people of Vanuatu, an archipelago in the South Pacific, have long relied on their intimate knowledge of nature to forecast extreme weather. Their traditional methods, passed down through generations, involve observing patterns in animals and plants to predict storms. This practice has been particularly crucial in a region prone to severe cyclones and other weather extremes. However, with the changing climate impacting weather patterns and species behavior, these traditional indicators are facing new challenges. The Traditional Wisdom of the

The Crucial Role of Urban Parks in Combating Climate Change

Urban parks and green spaces—such as community gardens, city parks, and natural reserves—offer more than just a scenic retreat. New research reveals their critical role in addressing climate change through carbon sequestration—the process of capturing and storing atmospheric carbon dioxide. This article explores how urban green areas contribute to reducing carbon emissions and the implications for climate action. Urban Green Spaces: Essential for Climate Action Urban green spaces are invaluable assets, providing much-needed respite from the hustle and bustle of

Antarctic Sea Ice on Verge of Record Winter Low for Second Consecutive Year

The Antarctic is once again facing an alarming environmental milestone as its sea ice edges toward a record winter low for the second consecutive year. In 2023, the sea ice surrounding the southernmost continent saw an unprecedented reduction of 1.6 million square kilometers below the long-term average—an area comparable to the combined size of Britain, France, Germany, and Spain. This year, the trend has continued, and recent data reveals even lower sea ice levels than last year. Sea Ice at

Feeling Itchy? The Surprising Link Between Wildfire Smoke and Eczema

Feeling itchy lately? It might not just be the usual suspects causing your discomfort. When Raj Fadadu, then a medical student, awoke to an ominous, orange sky, he had no idea that the day would reveal a startling connection between air pollution and skin health. “I remember thinking it might just be an intense sunrise,” Fadadu recalls. “But as the hours passed, the sky remained a deep, dark orange. It felt like a scene from a dystopian movie—like the world

Amazon Fires 30 Times More Likely Due to Climate Change – New Study Reveals

Climate change is reshaping the Amazon rainforest, increasing its susceptibility to fires by nearly 30 times, according to the 2023-2024 State of Wildfires report. This significant shift underscores the growing impact of global warming  on one of the world’s most vital ecosystems. Climate Change and the Western Amazon The study highlights that between March 2023 and February 2024, the western Amazon—spanning parts of Brazil, Peru, and Bolivia—has become dramatically more fire-prone. Factors such as rising temperatures, reduced rainfall, and drier

Understanding Ecological Succession: Stages, Concepts, and Impact

Explore ecological succession, including primary and secondary stages, key concepts like pioneer species, and its role in ecosystem restoration. Learn more here. Ecological succession is a process that shows how nature rebuilds itself. First, pioneer species start to grow in places with no life, like rocks or empty land. Then, as time passes, more plants and animals come, changing the area until it becomes a climax community. In this article, we’ll look at the stages of succession, from primary to

Understanding Atmospheric Pressure: Weather, Altitude, & Health

Discover how atmospheric pressure affects weather, altitude, and health. Learn about pressure measurements, aviation impacts, and more in our detailed guide. Atmospheric pressure is very important, and it affects many things in our lives. High and low pressure can change our weather, like bringing rain or clear skies. When you go up high, like in mountains, pressure drops, and it can make you feel unwell. This article will show you how atmospheric pressure impacts weather, health, and aviation. We’ll also

Ecosystems

Understanding the Importance of Ecosystems

Ecosystems are the foundation of life on Earth, where living organisms interact with their physical environment to create a balanced, thriving system. These natural communities, ranging from lush forests to vast oceans, are crucial for the survival of all species, including humans. But what exactly makes ecosystems so essential? Let’s explore this fascinating topic. What is an Ecosystem? An ecosystem is a complex network where plants, animals, and microorganisms work together with their surroundings—such as soil, water, and air—to sustain
