What scientists found inside Mars’ frozen vortex Mars’ north polar vortex locks its atmosphere in extreme cold and darkness, freezing out water vapor and triggering a dramatic rise in ozone. Scientists found that the lack of sunlight and moisture lets ozone build up unchecked. This discovery, made with data from ESA’s and NASA’s orbiters, could reveal clues about Mars’ past atmospheric chemistry and potential for life.

Brunel University of London — The Conversation institution feed · 16 Oct 2025 Research & science Forged in fire: The 900°C heat that built Earth’s stable continents New research reveals that Earth’s continents owe their stability to searing heat deep in the planet’s crust. At more than 900°C, radioactive elements shifted upward, cooling and strengthening the landmasses that support life. This ancient heat engine also distributed valuable minerals, giving scientists new clues for exploration and for spotting potentially habitable planets.

Phys.org — 'battery recycling' search feed · 13 Oct 2025 Research & science New simulation reveals how Earth’s magnetic field first sparked to life Geophysicists have modeled how Earth’s magnetic field could form even when its core was fully liquid. By removing the effects of viscosity in their simulation, they revealed a self-sustaining dynamo that mirrors today’s mechanism. The results illuminate Earth’s early history, life’s origins, and the magnetism of other planets. Plus, it could help forecast future changes to our planet’s protecti… ScienceDaily — Hazardous Waste · 12 Oct 2025 Research & science The influence of environmental knowledge, awareness, and concern on corporate sustainability performance by the mediating variable of ecological behavior—A case study of airlines in Korea by Jungyoon Jang, Jin-Woo Park, Sukhoon Chung Recent research seeks to investigate the influence of employees’ understanding of sustainability on sustainable corporate performance, utilizing independent variables such as environmental knowledge, awareness, and concern, along with dependent variables including environmental, financial and social performance.

Researchers studying two major heatwaves in the Gulf of Alaska found that plankton shifts caused carbon to build up near the surface instead of sinking. This disrupted the ocean’s ability to store carbon for millennia and intensified climate feedbacks.
