Australia’s black summer & the connections to human-caused climate change »
The summer of 2019/20 saw devastating climate extremes and bushfires across southern Australia, and changed the national discourse on the role of human-caused climate change in increasing the risk of these impacts.

Cosmogenic 10Be and paleomagnetic records of the Earth’s magnetic field history : news and views »
Series of Geomagnetic dipole lows (GDL) associated with polarity reversals and excursions have been reconstructed for the Brunhes and Matuyama epochs by coupling and cross-checking paleomagnetic records (relative paleointensity, RPI) and cosmogenic Beryllium records (authigenic 10Be/9Be ratio) ....

Perspectives on Asteroids »
Only five sample return missions have delivered extraterrestrial samples back to Earth. These include materials from the moon, Sun, a comet, and an asteroid. The analysis of these materials has yielded great insight in to the formation of the solar system.
