Changes in tectonic activity may have shaped composition of Panama Canal rocks
Changes in the composition of magma may have caused variations in the Panama Canal volcanic rock formations, according to a new study. Geology News — ScienceDaily
Scientists Discover How Bacteria Changes Ions Into Gold
Special ‘nugget-producing’ bacteria may hold the key to more efficient processing of gold ore, mine tailings and recycled electronics, as well as aid in exploration for new deposits, University of Adelaide research has shown. For more than 10 years, University … Continue reading

Scientist strengthens tools to track animal, ecosystem responses to environmental changes
By charting the slopes and crags on animals’ teeth as if they were mountain ranges, scientists have created a powerful new way to learn about the diets of extinct animals from the fossil record. Understanding the diets of animals that … Continue reading
Study links groundwater changes to fracking
Credit: Yanna Lee A new study has found heightened concentrations of some common substances in drinking water near sites where hydraulic fracturing has taken place. The substances are not at dangerous levels and their sources are unclear, but the researchers … Continue reading
A warm climate is more sensitive to changes in carbon dioxide
It is well-established in the scientific community that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) levels result in global warming, but the magnitude of the effect may vary depending on average global temperature. A new study concludes that warm climates are … Continue reading
Changes in primate teeth linked to rise of monkeys
Searching for simple inherited dental characteristics that could lead to genes controlling tooth development, researchers have uncovered an easy-to-measure trait that tracks primate evolution over the last 20 million years, shedding light on the mysterious decline of apes and the … Continue reading
Changes in primate teeth linked to rise of monkeys
University of California, Berkeley paleontologists have identified distinctive features of primate teeth that allow them to track the evolution of our ape and monkey ancestors, shedding light on a mysterious increase in monkey species that occurred during a period of … Continue reading
