Coastal regions face severe, accelerated risks from relative sea-level rise, a phenomenon driven by the dual impact of climate-driven ocean expansion and localized land sinking (subsidence).

Iberian peninsula is rotating clockwise, according to new geodynamic data

Asier Madarieta, a researcher in the EHU's HGI (Water Environmental Processes) group, has analyzed how the Earth's crust is being compressed and deformed in the field where Eurasia and Africa meet in the Western Mediterranean. His work contributes towards understanding this complex contact field better as well as opening the door to identifying the faults and structures that could lead to earthquakes or deformations on the peninsula.

Earth's internal heat budget (Earth 🌍)

Earth's internal heat budget is fundamental to the thermal history of the Earth. The flow of heat from Earth's interior to the surface is estimated at 47±2 terawatts and comes from two main sources in roughly equal amounts: the radiogenic heat produced by the radioactive decay of isotopes in the mantl...

* inner core intrigued researchers since 1936 discovery
* core's rotation speed, direction center of decades-long debate
* evidence that core’s spin changed dramatically in recent years
* scientists have remained divided over what exactly is happening, what it means
* changes in rotational speed follow 70-year cycle

Earth’s core has slowed so much it’s moving backward, scientists confirm. Here’s what it could mean

Deep inside Earth is a solid metal ball that rotates independently of our spinning planet, like a top whirling around inside a bigger top, shrouded in mystery.
