Dams around the world hold so much water they've shifted Earth's poles, new research shows

The construction of thousands of dams since 1835 has caused Earth's poles to wobble, new research suggests.

Big dams are so heavy they shift Earth's poles away from the rotational axis, new research shows

Dam construction since 1835 has caused Earth's poles to "wander" away from the planet's rotational axis because of the massive weight of water reservoirs.

…Scientists found that large dams hold so much water they redistribute mass around the globe, shifting the position of Earth's crust relative to the mantle, the planet's middle layer.

Earth's mantle is gooey, and the crust forms a solid shell that can slide around on top of it. Weight on the crust that causes it to shift relative to the mantle also shifts the location of Earth's poles, the researchers said...

Volcanoes in multiple states have been rumbling. What's going on?

Volcanoes are rumbling as scientists monitor earthquakes at Washington's Mount Rainier and Alaska's Iliamna volcano.

Volcanoes in Alaska, Washington state, Oregon and Hawaii have been rumbling and even spewing lava, enough to spark a swarm of news stories. But despite the jolts and temblors, geologists say there's no cause for alarm.

"Volcanoes can be unpredictable, and there’s always the chance that something bad will happen, but these recent seismic events along the Pacific Ring of Fire from Alaska to Washington to offshore Oregon are probably not directly related to each other," said Natalia Ruppert, a seismologist with the U.S. Geological Survey's Earthquake Science Center in Seattle...

Scientists discover changes to the polar vortex that are plunging parts of US into deep freeze

Though global temperatures are warming, winters in the Northern Hemisphere are still marked by cold snaps and extreme snowfall events — sometimes to an unprecedented extent, such as the 2021 deep freeze in Texas and Oklahoma that caused over $1 billion in damage.

Scientists discover changes to the polar vortex that are plunging parts of US into deep freeze

When the polar vortex stretches, North America feels the chill. New research reveals some of the stratospheric patterns controlling these cold snaps.
