Seismologists measure tremors from distances up to 5000 km away. On September 16, 2023, a massive wave struck a fjord on Greenland’s east coast, leaving evidence of flooding up to 200 meters (650 feet) high in some areas. Researchers, led by Angela Carrillo Ponce from the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), have analyzed seismic data from earthquake monitoring stations worldwide and uncovered another remarkable event. The megatsunami triggered a standing wave that oscillated back and forth in the narrow, uninhabited Dickson Fjord for over a week. The international team has published their findings in the journal The Seismic Records.

A dog has successfully bred with a fox to create a hybrid animal in a rare scientific discovery from Brazil.In 2021, an animal was brought to the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul veterinary hospital after it was struck by a car.The breed of the female was unable to be identified by staff, as she appeared to have the physical characteristics of both a dog and a fox.Their confusion led to the arrival of scientists from surrounding universities who analysed the genetics of the animal in order to determine what she was.Sadly, she died in early last year of...

 Remarkable new scientific research at Stonehenge has revealed an extraordinary new mystery. Mineralogical tests on the massive six-tonne stone at the heart of the monument show that this central rock, known as the altar stone, was brought to Stonehenge from the far north of Scotland.The altar stone is arguably the most ritually important stone in Stonehenge, because it is the rock that marks the intersection of the prehistoric temple’s two most important celestial alignments – the winter solstice sunrise to summer solstice sunset alignment, and the summer solstice sunrise to winter solstice sunset alignment. It’s already known that some...

You’re reading this because something catastrophic terminated the more than 150-million-year reign of the dinosaurs. What opened the doors for mammals to dominate Earth was likely an extraterrestrial object; probably an asteroid. Where that asteroid came from has not been entirely clear. But new research might have gotten a giant step closer to solving this mystery. According to a study published Thursday in the journal Science, the rogue space rock probably came from far beyond Jupiter, and was likely laced with traces from the stars that existed before the Sun.

Imagine this dire scenario: the Atlantic Ocean's sea currents which bring warm water to Europe collapses, making large swaths of the continent as cold as the Arctic Circle. In a grim turn, that's just the scenario that a team of European scientists are warning about in a new study in the journal Nature Communications: that this catastrophic collapse — along with the ruination of the Amazon rainforest and the melting of polar ice — is on track to actually happen if we continue along our current path.
