‘Snapshots’ of subduction zones using space geodesy reveal that the viscous behaviour of the mantle controls crustal deformation, requiring the revision of traditional ‘elastic’ models for earthquake risk assessment.
Pathogenic fungi are increasingly contributing to the global emerging disease burden, threatening biodiversity and imposing increasing costs on ecosystem health, hence steps must be taken to tighten biosecurity worldwide to reduce the rate of fungal disease emergence.
A synthesis of recent research shows that the effects of human actions have already altered the regional hydrology and energy balance of parts of the Amazon basin, and that interactions between deforestation, fire and climate change are likely to further alter carbon storage, precipitation patterns and river discharge.
