Thawing permafrost may release greenhouse gases much faster than previously expected, potentially accelerating climate change even further. Experiments conducted by researchers at the University of Leeds, and published in the AGU journal Earth’s Future, show that when permafrost thaws, it becomes 25 to 100 times more permeable. This change allows significantly greater amounts of climate-forcing […]
“Pretty Close to Home”: The Hidden Earthquake Threat Beneath Seattle
A new study in GSA Bulletin aims to better determine how often and where faults trigger earthquakes beneath central Seattle. In the Pacific Northwest, major fault systems such as the Cascadian subduction zone offshore tend to receive most of the attention. However, smaller fault systems can also present serious risks, and a new study in […]
The Surprising Reason You Might Want To Sleep Without a Pillow
A new study suggests that something as simple as how you position your head during sleep could influence eye health in unexpected ways. Sleeping without a pillow may help reduce elevated pressure inside the eye, according to early findings published in the British Journal of Ophthalmology. High intraocular pressure can damage the optic nerve and […]

Scientists Say This Natural Hormone Reverses Obesity by Targeting the Brain
A newly studied hormone is revealing an unexpected connection between metabolism and the brain. A hormone that can reverse obesity in mice is offering new clues about how the brain controls body weight. Researchers at the University of Oklahoma found that FGF21 (fibroblast growth factor 21) acts on a key brain region tied to appetite […]
