Global Warming Causes Severe Storms
Research Meteorologists
found that the temperature
changes brought on by global
warming are significant
enough to cause an increase
in the occurrence of severe
storms. Severe storms are

Big Quakes Trigger Small Quakes
Seismologists found that
L-waves, slow-moving seismic
surface waves, from larger
earthquakes can trigger
smaller earthquakes as they
travel through the ground.
Different from aftershocks

Tracking Pollution From Space
Engineers processed data
from NASA's Aura satellite
in order to track and
predict the movement of
airborne pollution. Using
satellite data to measure
ozone concentrations over

Preparing For A Walk On The Moon
Astrophysicists found that
the moon's surface becomes
electrified during each full
moon. The moon passes
through the Earth's
magnetotail, a cone of
highly-charged particles,
