Climate scientists warn that human-caused warming already exceeds 1.5°C, placing the planet in dangerous territory. Africa, especially, is suffering extreme impacts, while global governments lag behind

A new study by University of Southampton scientists reveals rhythmic pulses of molten rock beneath Africa’s Afar region. These deep Earth surges are gradually pulling the continent apart and may lead to the formation of a new ocean. The research, published in Nature Geoscience, shows how mantle plumes interact with tectonic plates in a complex
