Powerful Storms Continue to Prowl the Pacific - NASA Science (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hurricanes Polo and Nolo sent destructive effects ashore amid an active season in the northeastern and central Pacific. The 2026 tropical cyclone season in the northeastern and central Pacific basins has been busy. By September 28, the number of named storms in the region had grown to 20, of which nine had reached hurricane strength. For comparison, the 1991-2020 average by that date is 13.5 named storms with 7.4 hurricanes. An image from NASA’s EPIC (Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera) on the D
Uncovering the Valleys Hidden Below Greenland’s Ice - NASA Science (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A new map of the terrain beneath the Greenland Ice Sheet links hundreds of valleys that previous maps missed or left fragmented. Greenland is capped with a vast ice sheet that spans 1.7 million square kilometers (656,000 square miles) and measures more than 3 kilometers (1.9 miles) at its thickest point. Below all this ice lies a landscape human eyes have never seen directly. But a newly developed method for mapping this hidden bedrock has produced the most detailed and accurate view of it yet.
Dust Storm Sweeps Over Mali - NASA Science (opens the original)
Read excerpt
At a time of year when dust storm activity winds down, a plume of dust blanketed parts of the West African nation and its neighbors. As summer winds down in West Africa, so does much of the region’s dust activity. Dust storms can still occur, though, as one did in early September 2026, when a plume covered parts of Mali and neighboring countries. The MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) on NASA’s Terra satellite captured this image on September 5, 2026. According to Tianle Yuan,
A Trio of Tropical Cyclones in the Pacific - NASA Science (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Pacific was buzzing with storms while the Atlantic was notably quiet. When hurricane forecasters released their seasonal outlooks in spring 2026, the El Niño brewing in the Pacific contributed to predictions of below-normal activity in the Atlantic basin but above-normal activity in the northeastern and central Pacific basins. In early September, near the climatological peak of hurricane season, those spring outlooks were on target, with the eastern Pacific buzzing with activity and the Atla
Peatland Fires Darken Skies in Indonesia - NASA Science (opens the original)
Read excerpt
With Indonesia gripped by drought, fires are smoldering on the surface and underground. If there were an apex predator among fires, tropical peatland fires would be a top contender. These fires, which burn in dried wetland soils, are slow-burning, highly polluting, and notoriously difficult to extinguish because they smolder at low temperatures and often burn underground through expansive deposits of peat. By one estimate, peat fires generate three times more fine particulate matter than other t
