Scientists have developed a mathematical technique that speeds up seismic simulations by a factor of 1,000, making it easier to map underground layers and assess earthquake risks. Led by Kathrin Smetana from Stevens Institute of Technology, the approach uses model order reduction to handle complex computations more efficiently. While it does not enable earthquake prediction, it could enhance preparedness in vulnerable areas.

Il fronte freddo 18 colpirà il Messico dal 5 all'8 dicembre 2025, con possibile neve al nord, venti intensi nel Golfo e piogge in varie regioni. Il Servizio Meteorologico Nazionale prevede contrasti termici, da temperature sotto zero a oltre 33°C nel sud-est. Sono previste interruzioni alla mobilità a causa di neve, venti e onde alte.

Le piogge recenti hanno provocato frane e accumuli di fango sulle strade della sierra Otomí-Tepehua di Hidalgo, ostacolando il transito dei veicoli e isolando comunità. I comuni più colpiti includono San Bartolo Tutotepec, Huehuetla e Tenango de Doria, con danni aggravati da eventi precedenti. Le autorità avvertono dei pericoli e dispiegano risorse per la pulizia.

A new study warns that the Taurid meteor shower, famous for its Halloween fireballs, may carry hidden dangers from a potential debris swarm. Led by researcher Mark Boslough, the research examines increased impact risks from near-Earth objects in 2032 and 2036. Scientists urge targeted observations to assess and mitigate these threats.

Researchers have traced tremor signals deep inside Tanzania's Oldoinyo Lengai volcano, locating them in three dimensions for the first time. The study reveals linked tremors at varying depths, providing insights into magma and gas movement. This unique carbonatite volcano's fluid, cool magma produced unexpected results that could improve eruption forecasting.
