Study Warns Saltwater Intrusion Threatens Global Coastal Groundwater by 2100
A NASA-DOD study indicates that by 2100, 77% of global coastal aquifers will face saltwater intrusion due to rising sea levels and reduced groundwater recharge. This phenomenon, caused by shifting fresh and saltwater dynamics, threatens water quality, agriculture, and infrastructure. Low-lying regions, including Southeast Asia, the U.S. Eastern Sea...

Rare Cave Pearls with Ancient Pottery Discovered in Jerusalem’s Joweizeh Tunnel
A remarkable discovery in Jerusalem's Joweizeh Spring Tunnel has revealed 50 cave pearls, including 14 embedded with ancient pottery fragments and plaster. The artefacts span historical periods, from the Iron Age to the Byzantine era. This unique find showcases the interplay of human activity and natural mineral formation, shedding light on ancient...

NASA Satellites Reveal Freshwater Decline as Global Droughts and Warming Persist
NASA’s GRACE satellites have recorded a significant decline in Earth’s freshwater reserves since 2014, revealing a loss of 1,200 cubic kilometres—two and a half times the volume of Lake Erie. This trend, highlighted in the journal Surveys in Geophysics, is attributed to persistent droughts and rising global temperatures, particularly in regio...

Evidence of Hot Water on Mars Found in Ancient Meteorite From Early Days of Solar System
Evidence of ancient hot water activity on Mars has been found in a 4.45-billion-year-old zircon grain from the NWA7034 meteorite. The findings, detailed in Science Advances, reveal that hydrothermal systems were active on Mars during the Pre-Noachian period. Researchers suggest these systems, essential for life on Earth, could have made Mars habita...

Sewage Surveillance Might Be a Powerful Tool to Fight Antimicrobial Resistance, New Study Reveals
Sewage surveillance is emerging as a crucial method in combating antimicrobial resistance (AMR), according to new research from Virginia Tech. Published in Nature Water, the study demonstrates that monitoring wastewater provides a more efficient and comprehensive approach to tracking antibiotic-resistant bacteria than testing individuals. This meth...

Chinese Rover Uncovers Evidence Supporting Theory of a Vast Ancient Ocean on Mars
China’s Zhurong rover has discovered formations on Mars that could signal the remnants of a once vast ocean. Landing in the Utopia Planitia region, the rover identified formations commonly linked to past water presence, supporting the theory that Mars was once home to a massive body of water. While the findings do not offer definitive proof, they...

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...

Monkeys Study Uncovers Science Behind 'Choking Under Pressure'
A recent study published in the journal Neuron reveals insights into why both monkeys and humans struggle under pressure. Researchers found that stress impairs brain signals crucial for movement execution when faced with high rewards. The study, involving monkeys completing tasks for water, demonstrated that performance declined when potential rewa...
