Tests suggest Russian satellites can jam GPS on a continental scale
Russian satellites have been identified as the cause of mysterious, seconds-long bursts of GPS interference across Europe—a rare example of human-made GPS interference coming from space. But uncertainty still hangs over whether such interference is intentional and if it could be more powerfully weaponized as GPS jamming with continental reach in the future. The discovery came from an investigation detailed in a June 2 preprint paper by Todd Humphreys and his student Zach Clements at The...
Wildfires reverse decade of ozone cleanup in the United States, study reveals
Wildfires reverse decade of ozone cleanup in the United States, study reveals Sadie Harley Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor Ozone pollution has worsened in much of the continental United States over the past decade, fueled by wildfires and the long-distance transport of unhealthy air, according to a new study titled "Fires reverse progress toward ozone air quality standards in the U.S.," led by University of Iowa researchers and published in the journal Science. Exposure to...
UK weather forecast: Week of rain before temperatures hit 32C in June heatwave
Week of rain before temperatures hit 32C in June heatwave Brits brace for rain every day this week as temperatures drop sharply, but a continental bake is set to bring 32C heat back from mid-June The beginning of June will see Britain battered by rain every single day for a week as temperatures plummet by half – before further 32C (90F) heat returns from later next week. Following the record-breaking 35C late-May heatwave, forecasters are predicting daily rainfall for a week across the South...
Qatar seek to move beyond shadow of 2022 disappointment
Qatar seek to move beyond shadow of 2022 disappointment CAIRO, June 1 : Qatar will arrive at the World Cup seeking to redefine themselves after a disappointing tournament in 2022 when they became the first host nation to lose all three group matches despite heavy investment and lofty expectations. Since then, the Gulf team have quietly reasserted themselves on the continental stage. They retained the Asian Cup in 2023 and secured qualification for the World Cup on merit for the first time...
DR Congo determined to put aside poor image left half century ago
DR Congo determined to put aside poor image left half century ago June 2 : After a 52-year wait, the Democratic Republic of Congo return to the World Cup determined to expunge the image of naivety and folly left behind on their only previous appearance. It was when the country was still known as Zaire and competed at the 1974 finals in West Germany – the first African side from south of the Sahara to go to the World Cup. As reigning continental champions, there was hope that they could boost...
Mapping the Storm: Geospatial Impacts of Severe Weather on LEO Network Performance
Announce Type: cross Abstract: LEO satellite constellations, led by deployments such as Starlink, are playing an increasingly pivotal role in enabling global broadband connectivity. However, the reliability and performance of these space-based networks are highly sensitive to environmental dynamics, particularly localized weather phenomena that exhibit strong spatio-temporal variability. In this study, we present a continental-scale geospatial analysis of weather-induced performance...
A new tectonic plate boundary could be forming in southern Africa
Gases collected from boiling mineral springs in Zambia contain the chemical signature of having come directly from the Earth’s mantle, a sign of a rupture in the tectonic plates and the possible beginning of a new continental boundary
Tracing a powerful GNSS interference source over Europe
Electrical Engineering and Systems Science > Signal Processing [Submitted on 2 Jun 2026] Title:Chasing Lightning: Detecting, Characterizing, and Identifying a Powerful Space-Based GNSS Interference Source View PDF HTML (experimental)Abstract:This paper analyzes and identifies a space-based Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) interference source that has caused scores of powerful transient wide-area interference events over continental Europe, Greenland, and Canada since 2019.
Resilience metrics to guide back-up investments in the power system during extreme weather
arXiv:2508.05163v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Security of supply is a common and important concern when integrating renewables in net-zero power systems. Extreme weather affects both demand and supply leading to power system stress; in Europe this stress spreads continentally beyond the meteorological root cause. We use an approach based on shadow prices to identify periods of elevated stress called system-defining events and analyse their impact on the power system.
Milo Rau turned tribunals into theatre. Now his own moral judgement is on trial
The Swiss director has staged court cases against Pussy Riot, mining companies in Congo and Gisèle Pelicot’s abusers. But after his invitation to Palantir founder Peter Thiel caused a row in Vienna, is Rau’s method eating itself?Milo Rau, once the enfant terrible of continental European theatre, is a little less buoyant these days. The Swiss theatre-maker has done something he says he explicitly hates: he has cancelled a guest.
