Emerging insights on oceanic intraplate volcanism - Nature Geoscience
53+ min ago (159+ words) Nature Geoscience volume19, page 739 (2026) Cite this article Recent research suggests that most forms of volcanism within oceanic plates are influenced by plate tectonics, particularly via the involvement of tectonics in whole-mantle dynamics. Investigating oceanic intraplate volcanism may therefore advance our understanding…...

GIS-integrated multi-criteria decision framework for waste-to-energy plant site selection in Beni Suef governorate, Egypt | Scientific Reports
1+ week, 2+ day ago (1680+ words) The observed relationship between population growth and solid waste generation demonstrates a strong positive correlation, indicating that demographic expansion remains a primary driver of waste production in the governorate. If current trends persist, the anticipated increase in waste quantities will…...
Linking plates to plumes in the Cretaceous Pacific - Nature Geoscience
1+ week, 1+ day ago (223+ words) Nature Geoscience (2026) Cite this article Two independent studies imply that a remarkable burst of voluminous volcanism on the Pacific plate during the Cretaceous is attributable to coupled plate'mantle dynamics. Together, their findings show how enhanced subduction, mantle heterogeneity, and plate…...
