Volcanoes are fed by enormous underground networks of magma and gas, but those systems do not always behave the same way. Even a single volcano can produce eruptions through very different processes. A Cornell-led research team has now shown just how dramatically those pathways can vary at Mount Etna in…

Back-to-back Arctic storms can double sea ice loss

Weather can dramatically reshape the Arctic’s frozen surface, and some storms appear to be far more destructive than others. Arctic cyclones often bring unusually warm, turbulent conditions that can shrink and fracture sea ice. Their effects can become much more severe when several cyclones arrive in rapid succession, keeping the…
