Some asteroids spin smoothly. Others tumble chaotically. Understanding their differences could help us learn more about asteroid history and improve planetary defense measures.

Carbon emissions are helping make older trees in the Amazon bigger. But “it doesn’t mean carbon dioxide is good for the forest," says Adriane Esquivel-Muelbert @camplantsci.bsky.social. "What we’re seeing is resilience, not relief.”

Cities are hot spots for future water failure. Experts warn that some regions could hit day zero sooner rather than later. Smart infrastructure and policy are key to avoiding a tipping point.

JWST has made some new discoveries about Io.

In 2024, Amazon forest fires released sevenfold more CO2 than in previous years.

A new analysis of #CryoSat-2 data revealed that subglacial lake levels in Antarctica are changing not by centimeters but by *meters*.

Researchers used a decade of measurements to see how marine heat waves shake up the microbial communities of our oceans.

Humming along to Sia singing David Guetta’s “Titanium” today 🎶, sooo...yeah, we’re voting for ilmenite in this #OreCup match-up.

Really enjoyed speaking with @eos.org about this exciting new tech. Hopefully it’ll keep recreationalists and scientists safer out there in the mountains!

The way asteroids spin could hold clues to their internal makeup.

“This is the biggest innovation in avalanche safety devices in 25 years.” New research from Giacomo Strapazzon #UniPadova @euracalpenv.bsky.social + colleagues in @jama.com; input from @utahwx.bsky.social @utah.edu. eos.org/articles/saf...

The #USGS has posted its finalized 2025 list of #CriticalMinerals. The list includes 60 entries, including several additions (e.g., copper, silver) from the previous list. www.usgs.gov/programs/min... Read up on critical minerals here: eos.org/tag/critical...

New research in Nature Communications suggests "day zero droughts" (when reservoirs fail) could be common this decade. It's not just supply; rising demand is accelerating the risk. Which cities are on the edge? #WaterScarcity #ClimateCrisis

Beyond the water shortage, Day Zero highlights fundamental human rights put in jeopardy and the disproportionate impact on vulnerable communities.🚰 My story for @eos.org @agu.org

Good informative thread about Trump's once & future NASA Administrator nominee. NASA is still being dismantled & sold for scrap, so let's hope this is a harbinger for better space-related futures.

JWST has detected sulfur gas emissions at wavelengths never before seen in Io’s atmosphere.

We're Team #Ilmenite today in the #OreCup! Not only did it enable Bob Ross's happy little clouds, it also may have helped flip the Moon's mantle. So versatile! 🔭🧪🌕 eos.org/articles/the...

An ore for an element important for renewable energy is a big plus. I did not anticipate a difficult vote here. Ore fans are presenting good cases for their favorites.

By area, forest degradation in the Amazon surpassed deforestation by more than 4 times in 2024.

We’re on team #molybdenite in today’s #OreCup match-up. It’s the main ore of molybdenum, a critical resource with many uses, including in building renewable energy technologies. eos.org/features/cri...
