Creating Communities to Help Interdisciplinary Scientists Thrive

13 February 2026 @ 2:23 pm

Several dozen people socialize in an open-air courtyard between two buildings. A large sphere covered in white fabric and adorned with colorful flags stands on a pole above some of the people.

Solving complex challenges often requires diverse expertise, but skepticism remains within traditional academic institutions and mindsets regarding interdisciplinary science and scientists.

A New Way to Measure Quartz Strength at High Pressure

13 February 2026 @ 2:00 pm

Direct stress measurements inside deforming quartz reveal how its strength changes with temperature, improving models of continental crust deformation.

The exceptional occurrence of landslides in the 2025 South Asia summer monsoon

13 February 2026 @ 7:12 am

Rainfall data for the monsoon months of June to August 2025 for Mandi district highlighting cloudburst events.

In NW India, rainfall in the 2025 monsoon was 27% above the long term average. Over 2,500 people were killed in India and Pakistan by landslides and floods as a result. In India and Pakistan, the 2025 summer monsoon generated unusual amount of landslide activity. I described some of these events along the way, most […]

Oozing Gas Could Be Making Stripes in Mercury’s Craters

12 February 2026 @ 2:30 pm

Roughly a quarter of a crater rim with blue-white streaks pointed inward.

Scientists are using new computational tools to analyze troves of old spacecraft data to better understand one of Mercury’s unsolved mysteries.

Sediments Offer an Extended History of Fast Ice

12 February 2026 @ 2:29 pm

Broken-up ice sits on the surface of an ocean. A snowy mountain, a glacier, and a blue sky are in the distance.

Scientists used sediments to create a millennia-long archive of Antarctic fast ice. Along the way, they discovered that the freezing and thawing of this enigmatic ice appear to be linked to solar cycles.

Linking Space Weather and Atmospheric Changes With Cosmic Rays

Making a Map to Make a Difference

11 February 2026 @ 2:26 pm

A geographic information system (GIS) map shows a number of different layers: Blue areas represent flood zones or floodways, whereas white areas are those with minimal flood hazard. Red, orange, green, and gray areas represent mining waste.

A new study highlights the partnership between scientists and nonscientist community members in building an interactive GIS map to show flooding risk in a Superfund site.
