Canterbury Bulldogs rookie Jack Underhill, rejected by Melbourne Storm's feeder club, has quickly become a cult hero with impactful defensive plays that helped end a five-match losing streak.
Philippines' Mayon Volcano recorded 29 volcanic earthquakes and multiple seismic events in 24 hours, with lava flows and increased gas emissions maintaining Alert Level 3 status.
Scientists have identified the specific mechanisms driving accelerating sea level rise, with ocean thermal expansion and warming playing key roles. The phenomenon poses long-term risks as seas may continue rising for centuries.
International researchers have identified all causes of accelerating sea level rise over six decades, solving a long-standing measurement mystery. Ocean warming drives 43% of rise, while melting ice sheets and glaciers increasingly contribute to the acceleration.
Shell and climate activists Milieudefensie clashed in Dutch Supreme Court over mandatory carbon emission cuts. The case represents a pivotal moment in whether courts can force corporations to meet climate targets.
Paleontologists discovered a new 83-million-year-old pan-shinisaur lizard species in France, extending the lineage's European presence back 30 million years. The find highlights the evolutionary history of a group now represented by only one endangered living species.
The pichiciego menor (pink fairy armadillo), world's smallest armadillo, was unexpectedly spotted in Mendoza's Ñacuñán Biosphere Reserve, confirming that protected areas effectively preserve endangered species and ecosystem health.
The UN General Assembly voted 141-8 in favor of a resolution backing an ICJ climate ruling, recognizing states' legal duty to cut emissions and phase out fossil fuels, though major oil producers including the US opposed it.
IStructE president advocates shifting focus from material substitution to efficient structural systems design to reduce embodied carbon, while emphasizing fundamental engineering knowledge alongside digital innovation.
Invasive Australian red claw crayfish are spreading rapidly across southern Africa's waterways, threatening the Okavango Delta within a decade. Local fishers face devastating losses while researchers debate control strategies from harvesting to genetic biocontrols.
Research firm Longspur highlights Provaris Energy's emerging carbon capture and storage opportunity, valuing CO2 projects at A$0.04 per share and suggesting earlier commercial pathways than hydrogen ventures.
International research reveals that 50-60% of soil carbon lies below standard measurement depths, offering a more stable long-term climate mitigation resource if properly managed through agricultural practices.
Puerto Rico's Governor González reiterated her push to cancel LUMA Energy's contract, calling it a 'lemon deal,' while LUMA responded by urging unity to protect the electrical system ahead of hurricane season.
Hundreds of sea level studies contain systematic methodological errors that underestimated ocean rise by up to 27cm globally, requiring urgent recalibration of coastal risk maps affecting 132 million people.
International meteorologists project a potential Super El Niño event with 22% probability of extreme ocean warming, potentially triggering global climate disruptions similar to the catastrophic 1877 cycle that killed millions.
Scientists have identified and formally described Snuffleupagus, a newly discovered predatory species characterized by adorable physical features, expanding our understanding of biodiversity.
Eggs emerge as a nutrient-dense food addressing deficiencies common in Brazil's aging population, offering protein, vitamins and minerals essential for maintaining muscle mass and vision health.
Enrique Riquelme, a 37-year-old renewable energy magnate worth €160M+, appeared at Rafa Nadal's Netflix premiere while positioning himself as a potential challenger to Florentino Pérez for Real Madrid presidency.
Thousands of Southern California residents received stay-at-home alerts due to hazardous air quality from wildfire smoke and elevated ozone levels. The National Weather Service warning affects densely populated areas and rural zones, with particular risks for vulnerable populations.
China deployed the world's largest 20MW wind turbine in Hainan, but scientists warn its massive size may alter local microclimates through atmospheric disruption and energy extraction effects.
