NASA satellite captures a spectacular turquoise halo around the Chatham Islands, and an underwater plateau nearly 500 miles long could be the cause of this strange ocean phenomenon
3+ week, 20+ hour ago (623+ words) NASA captures a turquoise halo around the Chatham Islands, revealing how an underwater plateau may fuel a vast plankton bloom. A satellite image captured on January 10, 2026, shows bright green and chalky blue water curling into a broad ring around New…...
Frozen ground shakes differently, and that could reveal ice buried on the Moon
2+ week, 4+ day ago (1034+ words) Seismic waves cross icy ground far faster than dry soil, giving future Moon missions a way to map lunar ice before anyone digs. NASA plans to land astronauts near the Moon’s south pole in 2028, and everything they drink or breathe…...
Coastal marsh erosion is moving huge amounts of carbon into the ocean
1+ week, 2+ day ago (1019+ words) Coastal marshes lock away carbon for centuries. But when they erode, that buried carbon slips sideways into the sea. Coastal marshes sit where land meets the sea. Their plants trap mud and sand, while their soils store carbon from roots…...

Coastal erosion sends ice-age carbon into the sea, where microbes barely touch it
2+ week, 4+ day ago (1248+ words) Carbon from Arctic permafrost washing into the sea is not readily used by seabed microbes that prefer fresh marine carbon sources. Arctic coasts are eroding fast, and the soil dropping into the sea has been frozen as permafrost since the…...
