Anisotropic zoning in the upper crust of the Tianshan Tectonic Belt
The collision between the Indian and Eurasian plates resulted in the formation of the Tianshan Tectonic Belt; however, the formation mechanism of Tianshan and the construction of a dynamic model explaining it remain to be realized and an integrated u.....»»
Biosphere 2 experiment reveals that soils in drought stress leak more volatile organic compounds into the atmosphere
Microbes are doing a lot under the soil surface that can't be seen with the naked eye—from sequestering carbon to building the foundation of Earth's crust. But even tiny microbes are feeling the stress of a hotter, drier future......»»
New study shows volcanism 56 million years ago released more methane than thought
About 55 million years ago, the Atlantic Ocean was born. Until then, Europe and America were connected. As the continents began to move apart, the Earth's crust between them ruptured, releasing large volumes of magma. This rift volcanism has led to t.....»»

Researchers study zoonotic enteric parasites among pastoralists, cattle and soil in northeastern Nigeria
The occupation, lifestyle and lack of formal education among pastoralists place them at higher risk of zoonoses. Moreover, zoonoses among pastoralists and their livestock in the Upper Benue Trough in northeastern Nigeria has not been studied holistic.....»»
Acoustic emission monitoring technique, an essential way to analyze pulsed laser processing
Acoustic emission (AE) monitoring is used to reveal the interaction mechanisms in pulsed laser processing of float glass. Circular ablated pits and irregular shaped cracks are formed on the float glass's upper surface by the pulsed laser dotting. By.....»»

Discovery of new ornithopod solves mystery of unidentified large dinosaur tracks
Researchers at the Fundación Conjunto Paleontológico de Teruel-Dinópolis/ Museo Aragonés de Paleontología, Spain, have released the description of a new upper Jurassic dinosaur based on fossil remains found in Spain......»»
How do microbes spread globally? A study clarifies how they travel around the world
A new study published in Current Opinion in Biotechnology compiles the scope of the problem of the global dispersal of harmful microorganisms through the upper layers of the atmosphere......»»
Research links climate change to "lazier" jet stream, leading to extreme weather
Jet streams are relatively narrow bands of strong wind in the upper atmosphere, typically occurring around 30,000 feet, and blowing west to east. Their normal flows lead to week-to-week weather variations, modulated in the mid-latitudes by ridges and.....»»

A new method allows for quantifying the spatial intermittency of ocean currents
Understanding Atlantic Ocean circulation is key for assessing the global ocean interconnections, in what is known as the "global conveyor belt." This is because the latitudinal ends of the Atlantic, bordering the polar regions, are cold-water formati.....»»
States in battery belt lack EV purchase incentives
Charging infrastructure's return on investment is uncertain without EV volume, and without adequate charging options, consumers are unlikely to buy EVs, economists say......»»
Exploring special sea-level and circulation anomalies in the Philippine Sea during El Niño events
The Philippine Sea (PS) is one of the regions with the strongest interannual variability in sea level and upper-layer circulation. During the developing stage of El Niño events, the Philippine Sea shows sea level falling and cyclonic circulation ano.....»»
Water storage capacity in oceanic crust slabs increases with age, researchers find
An international research team has discovered that a subduction zone's age affects the ability for it to recycle water between the Earth's surface and its inner layers......»»
Models provide new insights into relationship between Asia-Pacific upper-tropospheric temperatures and precipitation
Pacific Oscillation (APO) is a recently identified atmospheric teleconnection pattern in the Asia-Pacific sector characterized by a seesaw vibration of upper-tropospheric temperatures between Asia and the North Pacific. Teleconnections are links betw.....»»
Is early childhood education contributing to socioeconomic disparities?
Students from middle- and upper-class backgrounds are more likely to participate in classroom discussions than are equally capable students from working-class backgrounds, finds a new study of preschool children in France by an international team of.....»»
