Brain learns faster from rare rewards than from repetitionLos Angeles CA (SPX) Feb 20, 2026 More than a century after Pavlov trained dogs to link a bell with food, neuroscientists at the University of California, San Francisco report that the brain may rely more on the timing of rewards than on sheer repetition when forming associative memories of cues and outcomes. Their work suggests that what matters for learning is how far apart cue-reward experiences are spaced in time, rather tha

River deltas are sinking faster than the sea is risingEarth’s river deltas, home to about 5% of the global population and some of the world’s major cities, are experiencing subsidence, which exacerbates the risks from sea-level rise. The Copernicus Sentinel-1 mission has captured a decade's worth of data showing land sinking faster than previously thought.

Satellite study revises methane loss high in Earth atmosphereLos Angeles CA (SPX) Feb 10, 2026 Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas that traps heat efficiently in Earth atmosphere, and scientists estimate that it accounts for about 30 percent of modern global warming despite being less abundant than carbon dioxide. Observations show that methane levels have risen over time, but researchers still lack clarity about why the rate of accumulation changes from year to year. Methane remai

The curious case of why methane spiked around CovidWith fewer cars on the road, planes in the air and factories running, the skies seemed cleaner during the Covid-19 pandemic. However, while there was a decline in pollutants such as nitrogen dioxide, scientists were surprised to see that methane surged in the early 2020s and then dropped – and now they know why.

Satellites help tackle landfill methane leaksIMAGE

Satellites help tackle landfill methane leaksSatellites are emerging as a powerful new tool in the fight to curb emissions of methane. While methane is much shorter-lived in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide, it is vastly more potent at trapping heat, which makes rapid cuts essential for slowing warming in the short term. The same satellite technology that has transformed methane monitoring in the oil and gas sector is now being turned towards another major source – landfill sites.
