Canada is home to the largest boreal forest in the world, a vast expanse of wilderness rich in biodiversity that stretches from coast to coast.But a major new study examining nearly a half century of logging in Ontario and Quebec warns that clear-cutting has left forests in the provinces severely depleted — and puts woodland caribou at risk.The peer-reviewed research, published in the academic journal Land, found that logging practices between 1976 and 2020 have resulted in the loss of more than 14 million hectares of…

Oregon researchers have revealed how the Columbia River Gorge was shaped by the interplay of magma and water, creating its unique cliffs and waterfalls. Their study suggests ongoing geological changes due to subterranean magma activity.A new study shows that magma and water have jointly sculpted the Columbia River Gorge, with magma still influencing its landscape today.University of Oregon researchers are adding new details to the geological history of the iconic Columbia River Gorge, a wide river canyon that cuts through…

Not far from the bank of Wapiti River, just 11 kilometres from Grande Prairie, there's a paleontological goldmine: an ancient riverbed that contains fragments of skeletons of hundreds, possibly thousands, of animals from the late Cretaceous period, some 70 million years ago. Discovered in 2014,  the bonebed is known as a DC site, or, more formally, Wapiti Unit 3.It yields a wide range of fossils and teeth from many species of prehistoric vertebrates, said Corwin Sullivan, a University of Alberta paleontologist who does…

NASA’s Perseverance rover has captured a detailed 360-degree panorama of Mars’ Jezero Crater, exploring ancient river delta history. The color-enhanced image, made from 993 individual photos, helps scientists analyze the Martian landscape under Earth-like lighting conditions. (Artist’s concept.)

In cities, people often rely on car wash services. However, if you move a bit towards rural or semi-urban areas, cleaning one’s own cars and bikes is a common sight and part of their lifestyle. While most complete the task with a bucket of water, others drive their cars to the banks of nearby rivers for washing. Here, we have a video from Chhattisgarh where a driver forgot to pull the handbrake of a Mahindra Scorpio N SUV while washing it on a riverbank. Here’s what happened next. Scorpio N in river The video has been…
