New measurements shed light on the impact of water temperatures on glacier calving

“One of the greatest uncertainties surrounding future sea level rise is how glacier dynamics change when glaciers come into contact with warming waters. Our…

Climate impact of clouds made from airplane contrails may triple by 2050

Contrail cirrus change global cloudiness, which creates an imbalance in the Earth’s radiation budget – called ‘radiative forcing’ – that results in warming of…

Earthquake impact on submarine slopes: subtle erosion versus significant strengthening

Whereas most previous research assumed that sediment transport by earthquakes only happened by sliding of sediment packages (i.e. submarine landslides), that…
