Cities are typically a game of limited space and limited budgets. What could we do less of to make room for nature?

The Nature of Cities | 30 June, 2026
Mathieu Hélie To find space for nature in cities, we first consider what kind of nature belongs in a city. The deep ocean and the Antarctic are natural ecosystems, but they are obviously not fit for a city. Human beings have been creating cities sin...

Considering Climate Change in State Hazard Mitigation Plans: New Sabin Center & NRDC White Paper

Climate Law Blog | 30 June, 2026
Climate change is fueling an unprecedented number of extreme weather and climate disasters with dire consequences for human life and property. In the last decade, most counties across the United States have experienced multiple disaster events, including at least one federally declared disaster. States and local governments have a responsibility to adapt to these increasing disaster risks to improve community resilience and avoid an ever-growing magnitude of loss.

Is your data NDR compliant?

GEOExPro | 30 June, 2026
Good subsurface data has never been more valuable. From oil and gas exploration to carbon storage and offshore wind positioning, geological characterisation is essential, yet new data acquisition is becoming increas­ingly expensive. The case for reusing legacy datasets is clear. In 2021, the UK's North Sea Transi­tion Authority (NSTA) launched a cloud-based National Data Repository...

Can we ‘preserve’ glaciers with geoengineering?

AntarcticGlaciers.org | 29 June, 2026
Glaciers and ice sheets are in trouble. Worldwide, glaciers (not including the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets) lost 273 billion tonnes of ice from 2000-2023, with the second decade (2012-2023) increasing by 36% compared with the first1. In 2025 alone, glaciers lost 408 billion tonnes of ice, equivalent to 1.1 mm sea level rise2.

Is Southern California’s Cajon Pass an ‘earthquake gate’ ready to open?

Temblor Earth News | 29 June, 2026
Southern California's largest faults have been unusually quiet over the last century. More than 165 years have passed since the great 1857 Fort Tejon earthquake ruptured the southern San Andreas Fault. During that time of relative seismic quiescence, tectonic forces have continued to load both the San Andreas and neighboring San Jacinto faults in the Cajon Pass area (Figure 1).

Taking Pride in our planet: Protecting oceans for queer & trans Survival

EGU Geolog | 29 June, 2026
Over a year later, I still question if taking our Queer Climate Justice StoryMaps private was the right choice, especially as a new season of El Niño storms threatens our communities. While rising persecution made protecting our data feel necessary, Audre Lorde's words still haunt me: "When we are silent, we are still afraid. So it is better to speak, knowing we were never meant to survive."

Revival of South Africa’s first commercial Helium project

GEOExPro | 29 June, 2026
These observations prompt­ed Renergen to apply for a natural gas exploration per­mit across Welkom, Virgin­ia and Theunissen in Free State, South Africa. They soon discov­ered that apart from methane, the gas also contained high concentrations of helium, an opportunity that could po­tentially double their income stream. LNG production for the local market came online in...
