Largest oxygen-poor region of ocean is more variable than previously thought
Analysis of nitrogen isotope ratio in coral skeletons shows strong decadal oscillations in the size of the world's largest oxygen-deficient zone (ODZ) over the last 80 years. These findings imply that this ODZ is more dynamic than previously thought.....»»
Clay minerals: Researchers observe for the first time how sediment particles align during deposition
Clay minerals are a major constituent of the Earth's surface and are mainly found in the sediments of lakes, rivers and oceans. The properties of clay and claystone depend on how the tiny sediment particles are orientated. Using the European Synchrot.....»»
