Impact of upper atmosphere and ionosphere associated with an extremely explosive eruption of the Tonga volcano

authored by Atsuki Shinbori, and edited by Shreedevi P. R. February 5, 2025

1. Introduction Severe natural phenomena of geophysical, hydrological, and meteorological origins cause natural hazards that negatively impact human activity or the environment. Many people living on the earth suffer from natural hazards every year. Although we can predict some natural hazards (e.g., typhoons) in near real-time, forecasts of the geophysical natural hazards such as large earthquake ...[Read More]

The Sassy Scientist – Academic survivor Ep.987

The Sassy Scientist January 29, 2025

Is it a good day to have a meltdown? It’s cold and there is sun outside, neh maybe not. Procrastinating even having a meltdown. But this audience doesn’t even let me do that. Today, we’re answering Kai’s question: Why do we consider leaving academia a failure? Dear Kai, Sorry, the question ended up in my spam folder, otherwise, I’m pretty sure that I wouldn’t ignore poking the hornet’s ...[Read More]

How numerical modeling helps decipher the dynamics and evolution of Venus

Diogo Lourenço, Cédric Gillmann and edited by Nuno Rodrigues January 22, 2025

Earth’s sister, Venus, is a planet whose evolution is drastically different from our own. Unravelling the hidden mysteries behind the divergent evolution of these two planets could hold the key to understanding what makes a planet habitable. Using numerical modelling, Diogo Lourenço and Cédric Gillmann unveil the dynamics of Venus while linking them to observations. In today’s blog pos ...[Read More]

Between the Volcano and the Deep Blue Sea: Tales from Montserrat (Part 2)

Lorenzo Mantiloni, edited by Michaël Pons and edited by Constanza Rodriguez Piceda January 15, 2025

In 1995, the Caribbean Island of Montserrat was shaken by the beginning of one of the most significant volcanic eruptions in recent history: one that profoundly changed the natural, social and economical landscape of the country. Three decades later, Soufrière Hills Volcano and its legacy of destruction still shape the lives of Montserrat’s people. Last October, we took you on the first half of ou ...[Read More]
