Wet and wild: There's lots of water in the world's most explosive volcano
Science Daily
There isn't much in Kamchatka, a remote peninsula in northeastern Russia just across the Bering Sea from Alaska, besides an impressive population of brown bears and the most explosive volcano in the world.
Kamchatka's Shiveluch volcano has had more than 40 violent eruptions over the last 10,000 years.

Science Moab: Planning for a drier future
Moab Sun News
Deserts all share one fundamental feature, as we learn in elementary school: they have very, very little water. Some plants can still thrive in the desert despite the scarcity of this essential resource, as the soil holds on to just enough water for their survival. But climate change could disrupt that fine balance.

Explosive past of Arizona's sunset crater eruption may inform threats of similar volcanoes today
Sci Teck Daily
Around A.D. 1085, along the southern rim of Northern Arizona's elevated Colorado Plateau, a volcano erupted, forever changing ancient Puebloan fortunes and all nearby life. Among the 600 or so volcanoes that dot the landscape of the San Francisco volcanic fields, this one blew. It was the very first (and last) eruption for what came to be known as Sunset Crater, aptly named for its multihued, 1,000-foot-tall cinder cone.

Mystery of Martian glaciers revealed
EurekAlert
In a new paper published today in the Proceedings of the National Academies of ScienceS (PNAS), planetary geologist Joe Levy, assistant professor of geology at Colgate University, reveals a groundbreaking new analysis of the mysterious glaciers of Mars.
On Earth, glaciers covered wide swaths of the planet during the last Ice Age, which reached its peak about 20,000 years ago, before receding to the poles and leaving behind the rocks they pushed behind.

What might Earth's next supercontinent look like? New study provides clues
Science Magazine
From Columbia to Rodinia to Pangaea, Earth has seen a few supercontinents come and go in its ancient past. Now, researchers theorize that these giant landmasses form in regular cycles, about once every 600 million years. They even predict when and where the next supercontinent will form, driven by the creeping flow of rocks in our planet's hot mantle.
"It's not an entirely surprising idea, but I like the way it's put together," says Paul Hoffman, a geologist and supercontinent expert at Harvard University who was not involved with the work.
