Medieval monks accidentally recorded some of history’s biggest volcanic eruptions
By observing the night sky, medieval monks unwittingly recorded some of history's largest volcanic eruptions, according to a new analysis of 12th and 13th century European and Middle Eastern chronicles. An international team, including researchers from the University of Cambridge, drew on readings of medieval texts, along with ice core and tree ring data, to accurately date some of the biggest volcanic eruptions the world has ever seen.

Feature: UCL leads first expedition to remote island’s lava lake
A team led by Dr Emma Nicholson climbed the summit of an active volcano on a remote, sub-Antarctic island, confirming the existence of a lava lake within its crater. Now they're back, analysing their data to better understand volcanoes and their environmental impacts. Mount Michael is a volcano shrouded in mystery.

The mainly brown woodcock uses its bright white tail feathers to communicate in semi-darkness, reflecting 30% more light than any other known bird.

Prioritise tackling toxic emissions from tyres, urge Imperial experts
Imperial experts are calling for more to be done to limit the potentially harmful impact of toxic tyre particles on health and the environment. The researchers, from Imperial College London's Transition to Zero Pollution initiative, warn that even though electric vehicles remove the problem of fuel emissions, we will continue to have a problem with particulate matter because of tyre wear.

At least 80% of the world’s most important sites for biodiversity on land currently contain human developments
At least 80% of the world's most important sites for biodiversity on land currently contain human developments, study finds At least 80% of sites identified as being internationally important for biodiversity on land currently contain infrastructure - of which more than 75% contain roads. In the future, more sites that are important for biodiversity could contain powerplants, mines and oil and gas infrastructure It's concerning that human developments exist in the vast majority of sites that have been identified as being critical for nature.
