How earthquake swarms arise
A new fault simulator maps out how interactions between pressure, friction and fluids rising through a fault zone can lead to slow-motion quakes and seismic swarms.

Researchers advancing decadal predictions
(George Mason University) Timothy DelSole, Professor, Atmospheric, Oceanic and Earth Sciences, and Michael K. Tippett, Associate Professor of Applied Physics and Applied Mathematics at Columbia University, are working to improve climate predictions by advancing the understanding of processes that influence the ocean and atmosphere on decadal time scales.
Arctic Sea Ice Stability Extends To 14 Years; Region Stable Since 1900
Arctic sea ice is not as unstable as alarmists like to claim it is. This year saw the Arctic approaching a new record low minimum, and the alarmists began setting off the alarms with abandon. Yet the melt stabilized in…
Newly identified ‘landfalling droughts’ originate over ocean
Researchers have identified a new type of ‘landfalling drought’ that originates over the ocean before traveling onto land, and which can cause larger, drier conditions than other droughts.
5G wireless may lead to inaccurate weather forecasts
Upcoming 5G wireless networks that will provide faster cell phone service may lead to inaccurate weather forecasts, according to a new study on a controversial issue that has created anxiety among meteorologists.
Simpler models may be better for determining some climate risk
(Penn State) Typically, computer models of climate become more and more complex as researchers strive to capture more details of our Earth’s system, but according to a team of Penn State researchers, to assess risks, less complex models, with their ability to better sample uncertainties, may be a better choice.
New model — Antarctic ice loss expected to affect future climate change
In a new climate modeling study that looked at the impacts of accelerated ice melt from the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) on future climate, a team of climate scientists reports that future ice-sheet melt is expected to have significant effects on global climate.
Scientists predict potential spread, habitat of invasive Asian giant hornet
Researchers have predicted how and where the Asian giant hornet, an invasive newcomer to the Pacific Northwest, popularly dubbed the ‘murder hornet,’ could spread and find ideal habitat, both in the United States and globally.
New theory predicts movement of different animals using sensing to search
A research team has developed a new theory that can predict the movement of an animal’s sensory organs — such as eyes, ears and nose — while searching for something vital to its life.
