Scientists have warned that climate change would alter the prevalence and spread of disease in the U.S. Grist explains why researchers who follow the way climate change influences disease expect a continuation of a trend that will become more pronounced over time: https://flip.it/bQFqJf

Nearly two years ago, the underwater Hunga volcano in the South Pacific experienced an eruption so strong its caldera collapsed completely. A small team of scientists has partly mapped the magmatic system under the volcano from both before and after the eruption. Phys.org has more on what they found: https://flip.it/nhwv-e #Earth #Volcano #Science

Have you ever thought that some planets look like they’re staring back at you? Planetary scientists know what you’re talking about. Science Alert explains: https://flip.it/Y5Y9vz #Science #Space #Planets #SpaceExploration

Earth got hotter, disasters more costly, but the fight for the planet isn’t over. Here’s more on the Year in Climate Crisis, including the story of young activists in Montana who sued the state over their constitutional right to a clean and healthful environment — and won. https://flip.it/kde4C5

Earth teemed with life about 530 million years ago in the aftermath of the Cambrian explosion. But something caused a mass extinction of sea life about 20 years later. Was it a lack of oxygen, as past research has suggested? Live Science explores what may have supercharged this “wave of death.” https://flip.it/YrLeW3 #Science #Earth #Oceans #Extinction

Recent findings show that thawing permafrost and carbon-rich runoff from Canada’s Mackenzie River force part of the Arctic Ocean to release more carbon that it absorbs. Here’s more from phys.org: https://flip.it/_N.uUA

Inflammation may play a role in the development of Alzheimer’s disease. University of Washington-led research discovered microglia in the brains of people with Alzheimer’s were in a pre-inflammatory state more frequently. There's still more to learn, but the research could lead to advancements in treatment. Science Alert explains: https://flip.it/4q6YVg
