Processes in the polar atmosphere can cause nitric oxide (NO)-enriched air to descend and destroy stratospheric ozone. Scientists explore one cause of these NO fluxes, stratospheric sudden warming.
Satellite observations explain why magnetosonic waves can be found in regions far from where they originate.

Electric fields induced in the Earth's lithosphere during magnetic storms can interfere with the operation of electric power grids. Scientists are working to understand this multifaceted hazard.
New study suggests that the frequency of lightning strikes will increase as the climate continues to warm.
A renewed focus on geological aspects of cities could help mitigate natural hazards and provide a wealth of geological information, scientists say.
Researchers examined the crustal deformation associated with earthquakes that occurred before the 2011 Tohoku-oki earthquake.
How are broken water pipes like fatalities in a heat wave? Researchers look to an epidemiological model to better care for infrastructure.
A statistical analysis cannot prove with high confidence that the recent global increase in large (M≥5.6) earthquakes could not have happened by random chance.
