What do volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and tropical storms have in common? More than it seems—especially when they occur on fragile volcanic islands like the Galápagos. This iconic archipelago, world-renowned for its unique biodiversity, is increasingly under threat from multiple natural hazards, many of which do not act in isolation. A new study led by researchers at the Escuela Superior Politécnica del Litoral (ESPOL) presents an innovative multi-hazard analysis framework aimed at helping prevent disasters and protect both human communities and their ecosystems.

A new analysis of data on scientists with exceptional early-career success—according to a metric known as citation impact—has identified common characteristics among them, some of which could also be indicators of problematic or fraudulent behaviors. John Ioannidis of Stanford University, U.S., presents these findings in the open-access journal PLOS One on August 6, 2025.
