EQT to Buy Range Resources in $13 Billion All-Stock Deal to Create U.S. Gas Giant

EQT Corp. has agreed to acquire Range Resources Corp. in an all-stock transaction valued at about $13 billion, a deal that would combine two of the most prominent natural gas producers in the Appalachian Basin. The merger underscores a renewed push for scale in U.S. energy as gas demand is increasingly tied to power-hungry data centers and broader electrification trends.

Kentucky Night Sounds Revive Bigfoot Lore as Spotlight Sighting Fuels Rural Mystery

A late-night encounter in rural Kentucky has reignited one of America’s most durable folklore traditions, after two local men reported hearing knocks in the woods before one briefly caught sight of what he believed was Bigfoot in a spotlight beam. The account, amplified by Fox News, is not a verified wildlife incident, but it underscores how deeply cryptid stories remain embedded in Appalachian culture and modern media.

Ancient North Sea Asteroid Strike Sent a 330-Foot Tsunami Racing Across the Basin, Scientists Say

Scientists have identified evidence that a large asteroid impact in the North Sea 43 to 46 million years ago generated a tsunami more than 100 metres high, reshaping the region in a matter of minutes. The finding adds a dramatic deep-time data point to climate and coastal-risk research, underscoring how extreme natural events can transform marine environments far beyond the impact zone.

Hidden Antarctic Basin Could Accelerate Sea-Level Rise, Scientists Warn

A newly highlighted stretch of Antarctica’s largely unmapped interior is drawing concern from climate scientists because it may conceal unstable ice and geology capable of amplifying future sea-level rise. The focus is the Wilkes Subglacial Basin, a vast and remote region that could hold enough ice to raise global sea levels by several meters if major destabilization were triggered.

Unmapped Antarctic Basin Raises Alarm Over Hidden Ice-Sheet Risk

A newly highlighted area beneath East Antarctica is drawing urgent scientific attention after researchers warned that the Wilkes Subglacial Basin could hold a destabilising climate threat. The concern is not an immediate catastrophe, but the possibility that warming oceans could trigger long-term ice loss from one of the continent’s most vulnerable and least understood regions. The findings sharpen the stakes for global sea-level planning and underscore how much remains unknown beneath Antarctica’s ice.

Hidden Antarctic Basin Emerges as a Potential Climate Wild Card

A new wave of research is drawing attention to a largely unmapped region beneath East Antarctica, where the Wilkes Subglacial Basin may hold ice that is unusually vulnerable to warming. Scientists warn that if this vast reservoir destabilizes, it could accelerate sea-level rise far beyond current projections. The finding underscores how much remains unknown about the planet’s most remote ice systems and how those blind spots could reshape climate risk planning.

Hidden Antarctic Basin Could Hold a Major Sea-Level Risk

New research is sharpening concern over the Wilkes Subglacial Basin, a vast and poorly observed ice system buried deep beneath East Antarctica. Scientists say the basin may be vulnerable to dynamic instability, a process that could accelerate ice loss and contribute materially to long-term sea-level rise if warming continues.

Karnataka Seeks Clearances for Mekedatu, Signals Push on Inter-Basin Water Links

Karnataka has pressed for clearances for a clutch of irrigation projects, including the long-stalled Mekedatu balancing reservoir, while also conveying in-principle concurrence to the Godavari-Cauvery and Bedti-Varada link proposals. The move underscores the state’s effort to secure water resources through both intra-state storage and larger river-linking frameworks amid rising demand and recurring inter-state water tensions.
