Greenland's Melting Glaciers Feed Ocean Life, Study Finds
A new NASA-led study reveals that Greenland’s melting glaciers are fueling life in the Arctic Ocean. Each summer, massive freshwater plumes from glaciers like Jakobshavn drag deep-sea nutrients upward, boosting phytoplankton growth by up to 40%. These microscopic organisms form the base of the marine food web and play a key role in carbon absorpt...

Massive Russia Earthquake Triggers Rare 'Parade' of 7 Kamchatka Volcanoes
In July 2025, a massive 8.8 earthquake off Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula triggered eruptions in seven volcanoes, including Klyuchevskaya Sopka and Shiveluch. Scientists called the rare multi-eruption event a “parade of volcanoes”—not witnessed in nearly 300 years. Experts believe the quake altered crustal stress, making eruptions more likely. ...

‘Ghost’ Plume Found Beneath Oman May Explain India’s Ancient Tectonic Shift
A buried magma plume beneath Oman’s Salma Plateau may have nudged India’s tectonic path during its collision with Eurasia, scientists report. Named “Dani,” the amagmatic plume caused no eruptions but likely altered continental motion 40 million years ago. This discovery redefines how silent, deep mantle forces can reshape continents without...
