The Transantarctic Mountains are in the background. Slow motion precursors give earthquakes the fast slip February 16, 2021 At a glacier near the South Pole, earth scientists have found evidence of a quiet, slow-motion fault slip that triggers strong, fast-slip earthquakes many miles away, according to Cornell research published Feb. 5 in Science Advances. During an earthqua...

Geography, and by association, ecology, has largely followed what's known as Tobler's Law, which took hold in the...

While earlier editions of the Frontiers of Knowledge Awards have distinguished contributions to climate change science fro...
