IDL's Carlos da Camara featured on Rádio Renascença, discussing climate extremes across Europe rr.pt/noticia/pais/2025/09/1…

Europa está a ser “fustigada por fenómenos extremos cada vez mais recorrentes” - Renascença

Carlos da Câmara diz que as alterações climáticas são “um problema de natureza técnico-científica”, que tem de ser resolvido “através de políticas adequadas” e visto “de um ponto de vista sério”.

New in @Nature: research led by @IDLearth's @JoaoCDuarte (@ULisboa_) 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. nature.com/articles/s41561-0…

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...

Neste paper mostramos que a fonte mantélica (superpluma) que alimentou o vulcanismo em Portugal no Cretácico (Sintra, Sines, Monchique, etc) parece ser a mesma que está hoje por baixo das Canárias: doi.org/10.1130/G52930.1 @idlinstitutodomluiz @FCTNOVA

Não deixa de ser estranho que todos nós sejamos um pouco de matéria que ganhou consciência de si própria. De onde veio tudo isto? Quando é que o Universo começou? Será que o Universo sempre existiu? Continuar a ler: joaocduarte.weebly.com/blog/… #ciencia #universo #bigbang

Her success also opened the door for countless female astronomers, including her Harvard colleague, Helen Sawyer Hogg, and in 1956, she was appointed Harvard’s first female Professor and female Department Chair." Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cecili… Book: hup.harvard.edu/books/978067…

I used to live in a timeline in which NASA scientists were respected. As a kid, I was fascinated by NASA. If I ever had a dream, it was to be a NASA scientist. Today, I have the privilege of working with some of them. They are still my heroes! tinyurl.com/ufdcp8th

It is sad to see this timeline going to shit. A society that does not respect its heroes is doomed to failure. We hope you can somehow fight this. We have your back and will never walk alone. You should be proud of who you are. You are our heroes!
