Scientists built a life-size oviraptor nest to test incubation, finding that a mix of body heat and sunlight created uneven egg temperatures and led to asynchronous hatching, since the circular nest limited direct contact with every egg like modern birds.
Researchers have developed detailed 3D models revealing hidden heat beneath Greenland and northeastern Canada, which influence the ice sheet's response to climate change and could impact future sea level rise predictions by improving understanding of Earth's internal structure and ice-earth interactions.
Ocean currents play a crucial role in distributing heat, nutrients, and gases that contribute to weather and climate. Climate change is speeding up global ocean currents, affecting migration patterns for marine species and potentially leaving more heat to be absorbed in the atmosphere. The ocean is also the world's largest carbon sink, but rising temperatures have doubled the frequency of marine heatwaves, causing irreversible loss of marine biodiversity, ice melts, and sea level rise.
