Seismic evidence for oceanic plate delamination offshore Southwest Iberia - Nature Geoscience The lithospheric mantle may be delaminating from the crust in an oceanic plate segment offshore Southwest Iberia, which could be the ultimate cause of the 1755 Great Lisbon Earthquake, according to seismic imaging and numerical simulations.

New in @nature.com: research led by @idlearth.bsky.social's @joaocduarte.bsky.social shows the ocean floor off Portugal is peeling away into the mantle.

This rare process may explain the 1755 Lisbon M8.7 quake and could mark the initiation of a new subduction zone.

Extreme weather driven by climate change made wildfires in Spain, Portugal 40 times more likely Heat waves similar to the one that hit Spain in August are now expected to occur about every 13 years.

IDL researcher, Ricardo Trigo, contributed to a @wwattribution.bsky.social study, featured in @politico.com. It shows that due #climatechange, #wildfires in Spain and Portugal are 40x more likely.

A prudent planetary limit for geologic carbon storage - Nature A risk-based, spatially explicit analysis of carbon storage in sedimentary basins establishes a prudent planetary limit of around 1,460 Gt of geological carbon storage, which requires making explicit ...

Coauthored by IDL's Alex Koberle, new @nature.com study
study shows Earth’s max safe underground CO₂ storage is ~1,460 Gt, and can only cool the atmosphere <1 °C. Without deep CO₂ cuts, we’ll hit that before 2200.
