NASA scientists reveal how trees can predict volcanic eruptions from space | – The Times of India

Recent breakthroughs in satellite and environmental sensing technology have introduced a promising method for detecting volcanic unrest by monitoring changes in vegetation health from space. This innovative approach, supported by in-field data from the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute’s AVUELO (Airborne Validation Unified Experiment: Land to Ocean) mission, enhances early warning systems for volcanic eruptions. By…

South Africa’s ground is rising, but it’s not volcanic; here’s what’s really happening | – The Times of India

In a dramatic geological change, researchers have discovered that areas of South Africa are rising by as much as 2 millimeters annually. Although this movement was originally thought to be caused by deep mantle processes below the Earth’s surface, recent studies indicate a more proximate, surface-based cause: the removal of groundwater. Extended drought has caused…
