Massive Steam Plume Spotted at Alaska’s Mount Spurr as Volcano May Erupt Soon
A significant steam plume has been observed at Alaska’s Mount Spurr, suggesting rising volcanic activity. The Alaska Volcano Observatory confirmed increased gas emissions from the summit and northern flank of the volcano, though no major change in earthquake patterns has been detected yet. Based on current observations, scientists have stated tha...

India's Energy Efficiency Above Global Average: RBI
India's energy efficiency improved by 1.9 per cent between 2000 and 2023, which is faster than the global average of 1.4 per cent, according to a study carried out by an RBI research team.

Mount Spurr Volcano in Alaska Shows Signs of Possible Eruption
Mount Spurr, a stratovolcano west of Anchorage, has shown rising seismic activity, gas emissions, and melting snow, suggesting magma movement beneath the surface. Scientists at the Alaska Volcano Observatory believe an eruption is becoming more likely, with historical eruptions in 1953 and 1992 at Crater Peak having sent ash plumes over Anchorage. ...

Atmospheric CO2 Levels Reach 8,00,000 Year-High In 2023: Report
The World Meteorological Organization's (WMO) State of the Climate report said the past 10 years (2015-2024) were the warmest on record, with each of the last eight years setting new highs for ocean heat content.

NASA’s Space Station Research Aids Lunar Missions With Key Technologies
Research aboard the International Space Station is advancing lunar exploration. Firefly Aerospace’s Blue Ghost Mission-1, which landed on 2 March 2025, carries three experiments linked to space station studies. LEXI observes X-ray emissions to study space weather, RadPC tests radiation-tolerant computing, and LuGRE detects GNSS signals for lunar ...

Citing Melting Glaciers, Peruvian Farmer Sues German Firm, Tests Global Climate Law
The glaciers in the Andes of northern Peru are at the centre of a landmark global case that will test the legal culpability of corporations over their greenhouse gas emissions and the role these play in climate change.

Scientists Create Cleaner Polymers To Absorb CO2 and Improve Energy Tech
Researchers at Tohoku University have developed a new method for synthesising porous organic polymers (POPs) with high purity. By using iodine as an oxidant and removing residual impurities through ethanol washing, the polymers achieve superior porosity and CO2 adsorption efficiency. The study highlights their potential for gas separation, energy s...

New Polar Cataclysmic Variable Identified by Astronomers: What You Need to Know
Astronomers have detected ZTF J0112+5827, a newly identified polar cataclysmic variable. This binary system, composed of a white dwarf and a low-mass donor star, features an 80.9-minute orbital period and a strong magnetic field of 38.7 MG. It lacks an accretion disk, with emissions mainly from its accretion stream and magnetic field lines. The sys...

Global Sea Ice Cover At Record Low In February Amid Persistent Hot Streak
In February, temperatures spiked up to 11 degrees Celsius above average near the North Pole as the world continued its persistent heat streak, said Europe's climate monitor.

X-ray Signal from Helix Nebula Suggests Planet Was Destroyed by White Dwarf
Astronomers have traced decades-old X-ray emissions from the Helix Nebula to a white dwarf possibly consuming planetary debris. Reports suggest a Jupiter-like planet may have been torn apart by the star’s intense gravitational forces. Data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and ESA’s XMM-Newton indicate that remnants of the destroyed plane...

Scientists Warn of Alarming Rise in Marine Heat Waves and Its Impact on Oceans
Reports indicate a sharp rise in marine heat waves, with 2023–2024 experiencing a 240% increase compared to past years. Scientists warn of devastating effects on marine life, including mass die-offs, coral reef degradation, and increased storm intensity. Coastal communities are at risk as extreme weather events linked to warming oceans become mor...

Earth's Strongest Ocean Current Is Slowing Down And It Could Have Devastating Consequences
The ocean current might slow down by around 20 per cent by 2050 in the "high carbon emissions scenario".

Earth's Orbit and Tilt Linked to Ice Age Cycles, Next One Delayed by Climate Change
Scientists have discovered a strong link between Earth's tilt and past ice ages, predicting the next glacial period would have started in 11,000 years. However, rising greenhouse gas emissions are disrupting these natural cycles. The research, based on ocean sediment data, supports the theory that Earth's obliquity governs ice expansion while prece...
