Future Supercontinent Pangea Ultima Could Trigger Mass Extinction, Reveals New Study
A University of Bristol study warns that Earth’s future supercontinent, Pangea Ultima, may make the planet uninhabitable for humans and mammals. Due to a combination of rising CO₂ levels, increased solar radiation, and vast land area far from oceanic cooling, the supercontinent could experience widespread extreme temperatures. Though millions o...

Ancient Humans Remained in Frigid Central Europe During Last Ice Age, New Study Reveals
A recent study has revealed that some ancient humans did not retreat from Central Europe during the last ice age. Instead, they adapted to the harsh conditions, similar to species like brown bears and wolves. Led by Oxala García-Rodríguez from Bournemouth University, the study utilised genetic data to show how humans thrived in frigid climates, w...

Siberian Craters Explained: Thawing Permafrost and Methane Gas Trigger Explosive Craters
Researchers have revealed the cause behind the enormous craters found in Siberia's permafrost, linking them to thawing conditions and explosive methane gas releases. As the surface melts, water seeps into ancient cryopegs, pockets of salty water trapped beneath the permafrost. The resulting pressure build-up causes cracks to form, leading to explos...

Burying Wood: A Simple, Low-Tech Carbon Storage Solution to Combat Climate Change
Researchers have found a 3,775-year-old log buried under a farm in Canada, offering insight into a low-cost and scalable method to lock carbon out of the atmosphere for millennia. The study reveals that burying wood under the right conditions, such as in oxygen-deprived environments and clay soils, could prevent its decay and preserve its carbon co...

Jupiter-Like Exoplanet With Iron Winds and Molten Metal Rain Discovered by Researchers
Astronomers have discovered that the exoplanet WASP-76b, located about 634 light-years away in the Pisces constellation, experiences extreme weather conditions unlike anything on Earth. With temperatures soaring to around 4,350 degrees Fahrenheit (2,400 degrees Celsius), the planet's atmosphere is ravaged by high-speed iron winds and molten metal r...

Underground Reservouir on Mars Could Fill Oceans on Planet's Surface, Study Reveals
Recent research based on data from NASA’s InSight mission has identified a substantial underground reservoir on Mars. This reservoir, located between 7 and 12 miles below the Martian surface, could hold enough water to cover the planet to a depth of 1 mile. The data, gathered by InSight’s seismometer between 2018 and 2022, suggests that water i...
