Seals carrying sensors on their heads have helped uncover where meltwater from West Antarctica’s Bellingshausen Sea ends up, providing better mapping of currents in this critical region. Story by @nathanielscharp eos.org/research-spotl…

Studying ratios of metal isotopes in #coral skeletons could provide a new way of assessing corals’ health and history. But more research is needed to fully understand the processes involved. New #AGUPubs research in @JGRBiogeo; story by @nathanielscharp eos.org/research-spotl…


Our understanding of misophonia — that sound hatred thing people talk about — is changing rapidly. Work from me in @aeonmag looking at new research, including that it's not just about the sound. Many thanks to @zachrosenthal, @skumar_ncl and @MercedeE82 psyche.co/ideas/the-reas…

Are you highly sensitive to specific noises? ‘Misophonia’ is a condition which causes extreme negative emotions in response to trigger sounds. Today’s Idea explores fascinating research on the role of context in helping to manage symptoms @NathanielScharp bit.ly/4aQFQ4h


Nathaniel Scharping Reposted

Studies estimate that more than 10 per cent of the population might experience some degree of misophonia, which is an extreme intolerance to specific trigger sounds. What role does context play in managing symptoms? @NathanielScharp bit.ly/4aQFQ4h

Ships may trigger lightning strikes. They’re tall pointy objects after all. New research from @WeatherArchive presented at #AGU23 lays out new evidence for the theory. Comments by Yakun Liu. Story by @nathanielscharp eos.org/articles/ocean…


Did the Sphinx get its start as a weird rock formation (that kinda looks like a lion)? Maybe! Story for @AGU_Eos, thanks to Leif Ristroph and Elena Favaro! eos.org/articles/did-t…

Mud lions are neither mud, nor lions. They're pareidolia. Discuss. eos.org/articles/did-t…


Mining contamination can not only linger for centuries, it can spread far and wide. New research from @mgmacklin shows how many people may be affected. Thanks to @Jamie_Woodward_ for insights as well! eos.org/articles/milli… @AGU_Eos
