Water availability determines carbon uptake under climate warming: study
Increasing atmospheric CO2 concentration is the leading cause of greenhouse effects and global warming. Notably, rapid climate warming can, in turn, either increase or decrease land carbon uptake, leading to negative or positive carbon cycle-climate change feedback, respectively. Scientists previously…
Detecting hydrothermal vents in volcanic lakes
Combination of measurements shows hydrothermal sources under sea in Tanzania — Results could improv
Deep-earth diamonds reveal primordial rock source in Earth’s mantle
An analysis of helium isotopes locked inside “super-deep” diamonds hundreds of kilometers below Earth’s surface suggests that vast reservoirs of molten primordial source rock, perhaps nearly as old as the Earth, are present. The helium-bearing diamonds studied as part of…
Simulation of the future in the Grimsel rock laboratory
Geologists at the University of Jena (Germany) investigate the stability of the geotechnical barrier
Researchers develop improved method for studying tsunami risk to bridges, buildings, roads
CORVALLIS, Ore. – Researchers at Oregon State University are paving the way toward greater safety for coastal residents and infrastructure by developing a better means of modeling the destructive force of tsunami waves. Rare but potentially devastating, tsunamis can cause…
