This will bring great benefits not just for earth sciences, but also for other fields that rely on accurate dating over geological time. The developments…
Now, a team of scientists present direct evidence that the three domains of life coexisted at least as long as 2.7 billion years ago.The discovery came from…
The model is called sCast, short for seasonal forecast model. Atmospheric scientist Judah Cohen of AER, Inc., in Lexington, Mass., and colleagues analyzed…
A University of Colorado at Boulder team excavating an ancient Maya village in El Salvador buried by a volcanic eruption 1,400 years ago has discovered an…
To the casual observer, they may simply be a curiosity, dismissed as the waning light of the midnight sun. But to scientists, these noctilucent ice clouds…
By late June, sea surface temperatures in the Gulf of Mexico were all over 80 degrees Fahrenheit. That's one thing that hurricane forecasters watch for because…
“The Tibetan Plateau is responsible for the monsoons in India,” says Dr. Pratigya J. Polissar, postdoctoral fellow in geosciences, Penn State. “People have…
Professor Priede said: “It is like surveying a new continent half way between America and Europe. We can recognise the creatures, but familiar ones are absent…
Pressures and temperatures at the Earth’s core are stupendous – more than 3.5 Mbar and 7000K – and currently it is impossible to recreate these conditions in…
The researchers, who forecast in April a 33 percent chance the September minimum of sea ice would set a new record, dramatically revised their prediction…
Background: Southern Ocean Current In a commentary published in the journal Science today, Dr John Church of the Antarctic Climate and Ecosystem Cooperative…
They perform the gold-diggers’ function in the forests that grow above ore bodies – within multiple years they draw soluble salts out of the soil and die off…
The new research confirms the current sweeping out of the Tasman Sea past Tasmania and towards the South Atlantic is a previously undetected component of the…
Pressures and temperatures at the Earth's core are stupendous – more than 3.5 Mbar and 7000*K – and currently it is impossible to recreate these conditions in…
Scientists think that the secret lies beneath the crust, in the slippery asthenosphere. In order for the mantle to convect and the plates to slide they require…
This forecasting system is scheduled to be ready in time for the Olympic Games in China in August 2008. Although it will initially benefit the sailing…
