Hawaii braces for direct hit from Tropical Storm Lala

Storm expected to strengthen to hurricane as state of emergency declared amid danger of ‘life-threatening’ floods

The Guardian - US

In 1859, the Carrington storm caused spectacular auroras and electrical disturbances in telegraph networks as far south as Cuba. 167 years later, a repeat could cripple key infrastructure while leaving some electronic devices surprisingly unaffected

The Carrington storm of 1859 highlighted our planet's susceptibility to solar flares. If a similar phenomenon occurred today, it could cause major disruptions in power grids and satellite operations. While contemporary systems may not experience total electronic failure, they could face selective issues. Adequate warning systems can prepare us for…

How El Niño is neutralizing Atlantic hurricanes this season

The 2026 Atlantic hurricane season is experiencing a slow start. El Niño's strong wind shear is suppressing tropical storm development. Forecasters watch two areas for potential storm formation this week. NOAA now predicts a below-average hurricane season with fewer major storms. Activity may increase later if wind shear conditions ease.

2026 Super El Niño Forecast: What happens this winter could shock California, here's why

California anticipates a dangerous winter with record coastal sea levels. A rapidly strengthening El Niño threatens increased flooding and erosion along the shoreline. Higher seas could combine with large waves and winter storms for greater pressure. Beaches may lose their sand buffer, exposing infrastructure to powerful surf. Warmer Pacific waters…

In 1970, Sylvia Earle led five women into an underwater lab for 14 days, helping prove humans could live and work beneath the sea

The sea can feel distant even to people who live hundreds of miles from a coastline. It sits beyond the horizon, beneath ships and far below the surface, largely hidden from ordinary view. Sylvia Earle spent much of her life trying to make that hidden world less remote. Born in…

In 2015, helicopters began dropping logs into Washington's Queets-Clearwater watershed, helping crews rebuild 8 miles of critical salmon habitat

Tribal nations and partners use helicopters to place logs in remote rivers. These logs help restore salmon habitats destroyed by past logging practices. The Quinault Indian Nation closed its fisheries due to insufficient salmon populations. Scientific studies show floods and food supply also significantly impact fish. This collaborative effort highlights…

In the 1950s, California oceanographer John D. Isaacs proposed towing an 8-billion-tonne Antarctic iceberg to San Diego, but the frozen reservoir never arrived

An oceanographer proposed towing Antarctic icebergs to California for freshwater in the 1950s. This radical idea sparked decades of research into iceberg utilization for water security. Scientists identified significant challenges like melting and towing costs, halting the project. However, the concept inspired ongoing studies and modern engineering advancements. While desalination…

In 1997, a mysterious ocean sound called the 'Bloop' sparked sea monster and lost underwater city theories. The truth came from Antarctica

Scientists detected a powerful underwater sound called the Bloop in 1997. This mysterious noise traveled thousands of miles, sparking speculation about sea creatures. Researchers later identified massive icequakes in Antarctica as the likely source. These powerful ice fractures released tremendous energy into the ocean. The Bloop's origin proved to be…

California divers spent two years clearing kelp-eating urchins and planting young kelp; underwater forests returned to reefs that had been barren for years

Giant kelp forests once thrived off Southern California's coast. These vital marine ecosystems vanished due to pollution and overgrazing. A restoration project successfully removed over thirty thousand sea urchins from reefs. This intervention allowed kelp to regrow and stabilize the marine habitat. The project demonstrated that kelp forests can recover…
