On Dec. 20, 2019, President Donald Trump signed HR 1865 into law, granting one of the first full budgets to federal government agencies in several years. Though the proposed budget by the President included widespread budget cuts for science-related activities, the budget bill passed by the House and Senate and signed by the president actually increased science investment by the U.S. government. Of the major civilian science-related federal agencies of interest to the geoscience community, only NOAA saw an overall reduction in their budget of 1%. Some federal agencies, such as the USGS, saw increases of 10% or more, which stands in stark contrast to the 15% reduction in the proposed budget.

A study led by the University of Southampton has mapped several sites in Europe containing gas hydrate — a relatively clean fuel which could help bridge the gap between fossil fuels and renewables. Vast amounts of natural gas are stored in an ice-like form beneath the seabed, under the deep seafloor, close to edge of the landmasses that form our continents. This gas hydrate, sometimes known as "ice that burns," has the potential to play a role as a substitute for coal in the coming decades, until there is sufficient renewable energy to meet society's demands.

Earth's earliest lands, hot and hellish, were sheltered from above. Researchers have found more evidence that our planet had a strong magnetic field 4.2 billion years ago, three-quarters of a billion years earlier than previously thought and just 350 million years after the Earth formed. The field would have shielded Earth, protecting its atmosphere from being stripped away by high-energy particles from the sun — and perhaps helping life gain a foothold.

What happened to the dinosaurs? We may finally have a definitive answer.
While many theories have circulated regarding the mass extinction event that killed all of Earth's dinosaurs over 60 million years ago, researchers at Yale University said they've found evidence that finally points to one clear event — an asteroid strike.

Rare metallic elements found in clumps on the deep-ocean floor mysteriously remain uncovered despite the shifting sands and sediment many leagues under the sea. Scientists now think they know why, and it could have important implications for mining these metals while preserving the strange fauna at the bottom of the ocean.

Palaeontologists have a fuzzy view of Earth's history. An incomplete fossil record and imprecise dating techniques make it hard to pinpoint events that happened within geological eras spanning millions of years. Now, a period that saw a boom in animal complexity and one of Earth's greatest mass extinctions is coming into sharp focus.

More than 500,000 Minnesotans are drinking water contaminated with nitrate, according to a study by the EWG.
EWG analyzed finished-water nitrate test results from all public water systems in Minnesota between 2009 and 2018. The data came from public records requests fulfilled by the Minnesota Department of Health. There are 6,626 active groundwater systems in the state and of those, 6,566 tested for nitrate at least once between those years.
According to the report, farm pollution is the primary cause for nitrate contamination, and it is particularly worse in areas of Minnesota where the types of soil and geology make it easier for nitrate in fertilizer and manure to get into groundwater.

X-ray tomographic microscopy is a well-established analysis technique in different fields of the Earth Sciences to access volumetric information of the internal microstructure of a large variety of opaque materials with high-spatial resolution and in a non-destructive manner. Synchrotron radiation, with its coherence and high flux, is required for pushing the temporal resolution into the second and sub-second regime and beyond, and therefore moving from the investigation of static samples to the study of fast dynamic processes as they happen in 3-D.

One of the challenges, but much of the fun, of being a geologist is getting to the remote places where the features and rocks you want to study are found. When those places are hundreds of thousands or even millions of miles away out in the solar system, "challenge" becomes an understatement. While our rovers continue to explore Mars, and other robotic missions continue to use incredible instruments to provide data that changes our understanding of our neighbors across the solar system, we've brought very little back from beyond our own atmosphere for the kind of study that can only happen with humans working in a lab. That is about to change.

Mathematical models of different degrees of complexity, describing the motion of a snow avalanche along a path with given center line and spatially varying width, are formulated and compared. The most complete model integrates the balance equations for mass and momentum over the cross-section and achieves closure through an entrainment function based on shock theory and a modified Voellmy bed friction law where the Coulombic contribution to the bed shear stress is limited by the shear strength of the snow cover.
