Scientists organized a trio of expeditions to document the buildup of stress leading to a large #earthquake on a seafloor fault, developing innovations for successful seagoing research in the process. Instruments deployed included OBSs, #ocean bottom electromagnetic instruments, and the autonomous underwater vehicle Sentry.

#Moose can cool boreal #forests, according to a new #AGUpubs study. Researchers show that these large grazers expose gaps between trees, revealing a snowy forest floor that reflects light and keeps temperatures down.

Hidden in wooden joists and beams in #NewYorkCity’s oldest buildings is the largest repository of old-growth timber in the eastern U.S., said #ecoclimatologist Mukund Palat Rao. Scientists estimate that 14,000 cubic meters of old-growth wood are removed from buildings in NYC each year during #demolitions or #renovations.

Panoramic view of the region with the highest topographic elevation of the Apennines. The #CornoGrande peak, Central Apennines, Italy. The Earth’s surface evolves in response to tectonics and contains information about the geodynamic processes that have shaped it. Lanari et al. (2023) evaluates whether the observed along-strike variations in #topography, #exhumation, and #tectonic deformation are linked to crustal and #subduction dynamics. To do so, they combine new geomorphological analyses with large, compiled data sets of cooling ages from low-temperature #thermochronology, drainage divide reconstructions, and Moho depth estimates.

This artist’s rendering of North America in the weeks following the #Chicxulub impact shows freezing conditions and skies hazy with sulfate aerosols. The pair of T. rex chicks in the foreground survived the impact but will soon succumb to the cold. New research supports the hypothesis that dinosaurs were done in by #climatechange after an #asteroid impact kicked up a massive plume of sulfur gases that circled the globe for several decades.

The rocky landscape of ⛰️ #SierraNevada del Cocuy National Park, seen here, is in Colombia’s Eastern #Cordillera. A new database compiles all the available pieces of information about Colombia’s #geochronology, offering scientists a consistent framework in which to view and study the data in a broader context.

In 2003, ⛈️ storm surge flooding from #HurricaneIsabel inundated the small coastal community of Bowleys Quarters, near Baltimore, Maryland. Protecting #coastal communities from the effects (and aftereffects) of repeated pummeling by #tropicalstorms and other disasters requires an all-hands-on-deck approach.

This infrared JWST image of the #ChameleonI molecular cloud hides a wide array of #ices in its dark interior. The presence of complex organic molecules such as methanol, ethanol, and acetaldehyde in a cloud suggests that these and simpler ices might be available to planetary systems right from the start.

Atmospheric rivers are long, narrow bands of moisture that can deliver much-needed rain 🌧️ while also causing floods and damage. An intensity scale, like we use for hurricanes and tornadoes, can warn ⚠️ people in advance what they should expect from one of these storms.The atmospheric river intensity scale ranks the storms from AR-1 (the weakest) to AR-5 (the most severe). Originally developed for the U.S. West Coast, it’s now ready for prime time 📺 worldwide. 📰 Link to the full story is in our bio. 📸: The #atmosphericriver currently hitting California. At the time of posting, this storm was forecast to be an AR-4. (NOAA/CIRA). #weather #extremeweather #climatechange #california #westcoast
