Can coal mines be tapped for rare earth elements?
A team of geologists led by the University of Utah analyzed 3,500 samples taken in and around coal mines in Utah and Colorado. Their findings open the possibility that these mines could see a secondary resource stream in the form of rare earth metals used in renewable energy and numerous other high-tech applications.
Expert available to discuss new report that puts globe on course for breaching benchmark high temperature
A new report from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) shows that the world’s average temperature could breach a record 1.5 Celsius of warming compared to pre-Industrial Revolution levels. News reports call the WMO announcement a critical warning of an average world temperature limit in the face of climate. Researchers indicate the threshold could be broken as early as 2027.
Extremely rapid up-and-down motions of island arc crust during arc-continent collision
Mountain building and the rock cycle often involve large vertical crustal motions, but theirrates and timescales in unmetamorphosed rocks remain poorly understood.We utilize high-resolution magneto-biostratigraphy and backstripping analysis of marine deposits in an activearc-continent suture zone of eastern Taiwan to…
Geophysicist sprints to monitor quake aftershocks in Alaska
Cornell professor and collaborators collect data that could provide new insight into the mechanics of crustal faults and possibly help researchers understand and anticipate future earthquake clusters.
