New knowledge helps clarify current fluctuations in Earth’s magnetic discipline
Utilizing new knowledge gathered from websites in southern Africa, researchers have prolonged their report of Earth’s magnetic discipline again 1000’s of years to the primary millennium. The brand new knowledge additionally supplies extra proof that the area might play a … Continue reading
Supercomputing helps researchers understand Earth’s interior
Geologists have created a computer model of tectonic activity so effective that they believe it has potential to predict where earthquakes and volcanoes will occur. Scientists focused on the deep mantle and its relationship to plate tectonics. Geology News — … Continue reading
Robot helps study how first land animals moved 360 million years ago
When early terrestrial animals began moving about on mud and sand 360 million years ago, the powerful tails they used as fish may have been more important than scientists previously realized. That’s one conclusion from a new study of African … Continue reading
Atom-by-atom growth chart for shells helps decode past climate
For the first time scientists can see how the shells of tiny marine organisms grow atom-by-atom, a new study reports. The advance provides new insights into the mechanisms of biomineralization and will improve our understanding of environmental change in Earth’s … Continue reading
Color vision helps birds find good food and the right partner
The researchers have established that chickens – just like people – have colour constancy. For birds, this means that they, in different environments and under different lighting conditions, recognise the colour of, for instance, berries and can thereby distinguish those … Continue reading
Hammer helps geologist find the story behind the rock
A geologist’s hammer used to break up rocks, as well as a scale in the photograph Some wag from the 19th century once described geologists as “those crazy blokes with their wee little hammers, busy turning mountains back into molehills.” … Continue reading
Making magma helps researchers understand volcanoes
The best way to figure out how something is made is to take it apart and put it back together again. That is what Jessica Larsen and her students do at the Geophysical Institute’s Petrology Lab in order to understand … Continue reading
