Research briefs

The Kīlauea volcano erupted like a stomp-rocket in 2018, new research shows.

To protect against unusual tsunamis, advanced countermeasures are required. Understanding the special mechanisms that lead to the concentration of these tsunamis is therefore of utmost importance.

A team investigated the observed and climate model projected changes in extreme high temperature warning indicators across China. They found an approximately linear increase in the intensity of extreme high temperatures exceeding 35°C and 40°C.

So-called “zombie fires” in the peatlands of Alaska, Canada and Siberia disappear from the Earth’s surface and smoulder underground during the winter before coming back to life the following spring.

New research uses gravity-sensing satellites to track how changes in water storage on land can cause unexpected fluctuations in sea levels.

China's Earth Observation (EO) System has seen significant progress, evolving into a sophisticated network of satellites supporting various global applications.

Climate change will dramatically impact streamflow and its contributions to the Colorado River by increasing forest water use and reducing groundwater levels, new study finds

A new paper shows that social networks can play a significant role in influencing the financial behaviors and perception of catastrophic risks brought about by climate change.

The strongest effect of high temperatures was observed for metabolic and obesity-related disorders, renal failure, urinary tract infection and sepsis, among others

Researchers from various countries collaborated to assess to what extent human-induced climate change altered the likelihood and intensity of the rainfall that led to the severe flooding in the most affected region.
