Rock magnetism uncrumples the Himalayas' complex collision zone
Science Blog
The imposing 1,400-mile Himalayan mountain range that separates the plains of the Indian subcontinent from the Tibetan Plateau is the scene of an epic continent-continent collision that took place millions of years ago and changed the Earth, affecting its climate and weather patterns. The question of how the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates collided, and the mountains came into existence, is one that scientists are still unfolding. Now, new research published in PNAS confirms that it’s more complicated than previously thought.

New analysis highlights importance of groundwater discharge into oceans
UC Santa Cruz via ScienceDaily
An invisible flow of groundwater seeps into the ocean along coastlines all over the world. Scientists have tended to disregard its contributions to ocean chemistry, focusing on the far greater volumes of water and dissolved material entering the sea from rivers and streams, but a new study finds groundwater discharge plays a more significant role than had been thought.

Researchers create a new technique in reconstructing past volcanic activities
The Science Times
A team of scientists has created a new method for reconstructing the size of volcanic eruptions that have occurred long ago in the past, revolutionizing the study of previous eruptions and estimating hazards of future volcanic activities. Geoscientists developed an advanced numerical model that allows for reconstructing past eruption events - thousands of years ago. This is done by estimating the dimensions of umbrella clouds that help create large deposits of volcanic ash. Results of their study are published in the new Nature journal, Communications, Earth, and Environment.

Low-flying airplane to map geology of Southeast Missouri and Southern Illinois
U.S. Geological Survey
The U.S. Geological Survey will conduct an airborne survey to study the rock layers under a region of southeast Missouri and southern Illinois starting in mid-January and lasting approximately through the spring of 2021. Results will provide state-of-the-art, subsurface maps that will contribute to a wide range of 3-D representations of the nation’s surface and underground geology.
