The fertilized mantle lithosphere may play an important first step in the formation of carbonatite deposits, known to host critical minerals.Repairing the Ozone Layer May Take Longer Than Expected
29 May 2026 @ 12:00 pm
A new study reveals that if left unchecked, unaccounted-for emissions of ozone-harming substances could delay the layer’s full recovery by almost a decade.The 19 July 2025 landslide at Sangneung village in South Korea
29 May 2026 @ 9:51 am
On 19 July 2025, record-breaking rainfall triggered a landslide that destroyed 26 buildings. Plans are now being developed to permanently relocate the community. On 19 July 2025, parts of South Korea suffered record-breaking rainfall. Flooding and landslides were the inevitable outcome. One location that was particularly severely impacted was a small rural village called Sangneung, […]Carbon-Rich Rocks May Have Cooled the Ancient Martian Atmosphere

27 May 2026 @ 8:41 am
A new study (Sun et al. 2026) shows that in six earthquakes in China between 2010 and 2022, landslides and rockfalls were responsible for at least half of the total fatalities. It is well-established that landslides are a major cause of loss of life in earthquakes in mountainous areas. The seismology maxim that “it is […]Heavy Rainfall Inflates Mount Fuji
