Deep-sea exploration reporter covering marine biology and coral reef restoration.
Scientists have mapped roughly 6,000 cubic kilometres of magma hidden beneath southern Tuscany, a volume comparable to the reservoirs feeding supervolcanoes like Yellowstone. Researchers say the body poses no immediate danger but could reshape geothermal energy and critical mineral exploration in Italy.
A new study links decades of uneven Pacific Ocean warming to sharply diverging wildfire trends in the United States Southwest and eastern Australia. The findings suggest that predicting future fire risk requires tracking long-term ocean shifts, not just rising air temperatures.
A seismic study of the world's largest underwater plateau has found that the colossal eruption that built it also chemically and structurally transformed the oceanic plate beneath it, overturning assumptions about how Earth's tectonic plates form and evolve.
