Yellowstone River flooding is a 1 in 500-year event, US Geological Survey says
CNN
From June 21: The devastating flooding that occurred along the Yellowstone River this week constitutes a 1 in 500-year event, according to a US Geological Survey (USGS) news release.
Unprecedented rain and rapid snowmelt in recent days have caused rivers in parts of Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho to burst their banks, swallowing bridges and sweeping away entire sections of roadway.

Geologists have closely analyzed two bizarre 'blobs' detected deep inside earth
Science Alert
From March 15: Earth's interior is not a uniform stack of layers. Deep in its thick middle layer lie two colossal blobs of thermo-chemical material.
To this day, scientists still don't know where both of these colossal structures came from or why they have such different heights, but a new set of geodynamic models has landed on a possible answer to the latter mystery.

Yosemite Valley's stunning peaks could be much younger than we realized
Science Alert
From Oct. 25: Soaring thousands of feet above the meandering trails of the Yosemite Valley floor, monoliths with names like El Capitan and Sentinel Rock stand watch like mythological titans of old. Just how long they've dominated the landscape isn't clear, with previous estimates on their emergence ranging anywhere from tens of millions to just 15 million years ago.

How fault lines in a kitchen sink are changing what we know about geology
Science Daily
From Feb. 8: In a new paper recently published in the journal Geology, researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst unveiled a physical model that yields an unprecedented, high-resolution look at the slip rates of faults, which determine the likelihood of earthquakes.
When most of us picture a fault line, we imagine a giant crack in the earth where two tectonic plates smash into each other.

Scientists identify geological 'Goldilocks zone' for the formation of metal ore deposits
Phys.org
From Feb. 1: Scientists have identified a mechanism through which important metals, crucial to the manufacturing of renewable energy technologies, are passed from the Earth's mantle to the crust.
The team, including researchers from Cardiff University, has discovered a 'Goldilocks zone' at the base of the Earth's crust where the temperature is just right at around 1000°C for metals to be transported to shallower levels near the surface, where they can be mined.

Solar energy explains fast yearly retreat of Antarctica's sea ice
EurekAlert!
From March 29: In the Southern Hemisphere, the ice cover around Antarctica gradually expands from March to October each year. During this time the total ice area increases by 6 times to become larger than Russia. The sea ice then retreats at a faster pace, most dramatically around December, when Antarctica experiences constant daylight.

Solution to world's largest waste stream: Make sand
EurekAlert!
From March 12: After water, sand is the most exploited natural resource on the planet. However, its extraction from seas, rivers, beaches and quarries has an impact on the environment and surrounding communities.
