Lakes buried carbon steadily for 11,000 years, but then something changed
15+ hour, 55+ min ago (1015+ words) Lakes across northern North America buried carbon at a steady rate for thousands of years, but that changed dramatically after 1850. Leaves, pollen and washed-in soil sink to the bottom of a lake and settle into mud, and the carbon in…...
Rare lava lake glows inside a volcano near Antarctica
5+ day, 17+ hour ago (701+ words) A rare satellite view reveals the persistent lava lake inside Mount Michael, an active volcano on remote Saunders Island near Antarctica. At first glance, Saunders Island looks locked in winter. Sea ice crowds the dark water, snow covers the land,…...
Yellowstone’s famous geysers could go quiet as the climate warms
5+ day, 18+ hour ago (1048+ words) Yellowstone's geysers depend on melting snow, so a hotter, drier climate points to fewer eruptions and more wildfire on the plateau. People plan whole trips around standing at the rail at Old Faithful, waiting for the water to go up....
Coastal marsh erosion is moving huge amounts of carbon into the ocean
1+ week, 2+ day ago (1019+ words) Coastal marshes lock away carbon for centuries. But when they erode, that buried carbon slips sideways into the sea. Coastal marshes sit where land meets the sea. Their plants trap mud and sand, while their soils store carbon from roots…...
Frozen ground shakes differently, and that could reveal ice buried on the Moon
2+ week, 4+ day ago (1034+ words) Seismic waves cross icy ground far faster than dry soil, giving future Moon missions a way to map lunar ice before anyone digs. NASA plans to land astronauts near the Moon’s south pole in 2028, and everything they drink or breathe…...
Volcanoes deliver rock older than the continents
3+ week, 5+ day ago (782+ words) No drill has ever reached the mantle, so scientists depend on volcanoes to deliver the samples instead. Lava from Hawaii and Iceland carries helium, ruthenium, and tungsten signatures that point to a source near the boundary with Earth's core, about…...
The forces that trigger earthquakes
3+ week, 5+ day ago (1008+ words) Plate tectonics loads a fault over centuries, but something else usually decides the moment it finally breaks. Research on California seismicity shows that groundwater cycles, stress from neighboring ruptures, and fluid injected underground can all nudge a fault past its…...
