I’m a science journalist and researcher at The Watchers, contributing to the Epicenter edition, where I cover peer-reviewed scientific research and emerging discoveries across Earth and space sciences. With a background in astronomy and a passion for environmental science, I’ve worked in shark and coral conservation in Fiji, conducting reef and shark-behavior research, contributing to mangrove restoration, and earning PADI Open Water and Coral Reef Certifications. I bring a blend of scientific rigor and storytelling to illuminate the discoveries shaping our planet and beyond.

A study published recently in Nature Communications shows that the 2024 M7.4 Calama earthquake in northern Chile ruptured deeper than expected, breaking through thermal limits once thought to prevent seismic rupture and revealing a new process that can intensify deep earthquakes.
The El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is one of the primary drivers of year-to-year climate variability, influencing rainfall, monsoons, heat extremes and storm patterns worldwide. Late 2025 observations indicated a weak La Niña, with many climate models projecting a transition toward neutral conditions early in 2026.
A team from the Higher School of Economics (HSE) and the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IKI RAS) analyzed seven years of satellite data and confirmed that Earth produces a natural radio emission called the hectometer continuum — a faint signal that vanished in mid-2022 as the Sun’s activity increased.
A cluster of powerful X-class solar flares between November 9 and 14, 2025, jolted Earth’s ionosphere and disrupted global radio signals, NJIT scientists report.
A new study reports possible detection of dark matter through a 20 GeV gamma-ray halo around the Milky Way, based on 15 years of NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope data.
An M8.8 earthquake struck off Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula at 23:47 UTC on July 29, 2025, generating a Pacific-wide tsunami captured for the first time in high resolution by NASA’s SWOT satellite.
High above Earth, narrow bands of fast-moving air circle the planet near the tropopause at 9–16 km (30 000–52 000 feet). These fast-moving corridors are known as jet streams, and they steer storm systems, influence temperature patterns, and shape how aircraft move across the globe. Understanding how they form and change over time helps explain many of the weather shifts we experience at the surface. Their behavior also connects daily weather with long-term climate patterns, making them one of the atmosphere’s most influential features.
Electric discharges caused by dust devils and dust storms on Mars have been detected for the first time, according to data from NASA’s Perseverance rover, published in Nature on November 26, 2025.
A new study published in The Astrophysical Journal on October 23, reveals that cosmic dust grains may be critical to the chemistry that forms life’s earliest building blocks, enabling complex molecules to form at –190°C (–310°F) in the icy regions of space.
AI tools trained on global seismic data can forecast the risk and location of aftershocks within seconds of an earthquake, according to a study published on November 25, 2025, in Earth, Planets and Space.
