The weak spot, known as the South Atlantic Anomaly, was identified in the 19th century and expanded in recent years.

Using 11 years of magnetic field measurements from the European Space Agency's Swarm satellite constellation, scientists have ...

We may finally know the secret to how migrating birds can sense Earth’s magnetic fields: a molecule in their eyes called cryptochrome 4 that is sensitive to magnetism, potentially giving the animals ...

Every minute matters in the event of a tsunami, and over the years we have seen a number of interesting ideas around how these giant waves might be better predicted ahead of time. These include ...

We may be able to predict deadly tsunamis using their magnetic fields. Because seawater is electrically conductive, when significant amounts of it move at once, it generates a small magnetic field.

A new study finds the magnetic field generated by a tsunami can be detected a few minutes earlier than changes in sea level and could improve warnings of these giant waves. A new study finds the ...
