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.....»»

Mysterious Microbes in Earth"s Crust Might Help With the Climate Crisis
Wherever we dig and however deep we dig we find microscopic living organisms. Could they eat the carbon we're pumping into the air?.....»»
Earth"s anisotropic inner core structure driven by dipole geomagnetic field, reveals study
A geomagnetic field is generated in Earth's interior and extends into outer space to protect Earth from cosmic radiation and the charged particles of solar wind. The magnetic field is generated by the convection of charged molten iron fluids in Earth.....»»

Life in the smoke of underwater volcanoes
Deep down in the ocean at tectonic plate boundaries, hot fluids rise from hydrothermal vents. The fluids are devoid of oxygen and contain large amounts of metals such as iron, manganese or copper. Some may also transport sulfides, methane and hydroge.....»»
A deeper dive into wintry, carbon-absorbing Antarctic waters
Every year as the austral winter sets in, frigid Antarctic air blasts the Southern Ocean. The chill dissipates the warmth of the ocean's surface water, and cold, dense layers form in the sea's upper reaches. Known as Subantarctic Mode Water (SAMW), t.....»»
Old Bomber Plane Will Sniff the Sky for Geoengineering Particles
NOAA will use a converted Air Force bomber to search the upper atmosphere for substances that could help the U.S. reflect sunlight away from Earth.....»»
Study unveils the mechanism behind the generation of large tsunamis off the Northwest Mexican coast
The Northwest Pacific coast of Mexico is an area struck by large earthquakes and tsunamis as a result of the interaction of two tectonic plates. However, to date, the structure of the continental margin and, therefore, the causes behind the generatio.....»»
Researchers reveal disturbances of Tonga volcanic eruption
Recently, a team led by Prof. Lei Jiuhou from University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the collaborators revealed the notable evidence of the dramatic thermospheric disturbances and global upper ther.....»»
A dozen exotic bacteria are found to passively collect rare earth elements from wastewater
Rare earth elements (REEs) are a group of 17 chemically similar metals, which got their name because they typically occur at low concentrations (between 0.5 and 67 parts per million) within Earth's crust. Because they are indispensable in modern tech.....»»
Scientists reveal influence of Asian summer monsoon on volcanic aerosol transport
Aerosols transported to the upper troposphere/lower stratosphere (UTLS) region potentially reduce average global surface temperatures and alter atmospheric circulation. Although large volcanic eruptions are rare in recent decades, small and medium vo.....»»
Study uses 560-kilometer-deep earthquake to make elusive measurements of the Earth"s layers
A new study from a University of Chicago scientist suggests there may be a layer of surprisingly fluid rock ringing the Earth, at the very bottom of the upper mantle......»»
In search of Planet 9: An unconventional detection approach
There is a mystery in our solar system surrounding the orbits of Kuiper belt objects. More than one trillion icy objects smaller than our moon orbit the sun in a donut-shaped ring beyond Neptune. Oddly, a cluster of outer Kuiper belt objects all elli.....»»
