An international team of scientists — recently returned from a 47-day research expedition to the middle of the Atlantic Ocean — have collected an unprecedented sequence of rock samples from the shallow mantle of the ocean crust that bear signs of life, unique carbon cycling and ocean crust movement.

A new Yale-led study offers a new conceptual framework for understanding the biogeochemistry of watersheds. The framework combines hydrologic and biogeochemical theory to test well established concepts in watershed ecology. The paper, published in the journal Ecology, suggests that heavy weather events, though infrequent, cause an inordinate amount of organic material to bypass headwater systems, pushing them downstream into larger rivers, coastal waters and inland basins.

The dark-colored hydrocarbon solid known as kerogen gives rise to the fuels that power many of our daily activities: Petroleum is the source of gasoline and diesel fuels, and natural gas is used for cooking, heating and increasingly for producing electricity. And yet, kerogen's basic internal structure has remained poorly understood — until now.

The moon was formed by a violent, head-on collision between the early Earth and a "planetary embryo" called Theia approximately 100 million years after the Earth formed, UCLA geochemists and colleagues report. Scientists had already known about this high-speed crash, which occurred almost 4.5 billion years ago, but many thought the Earth collided with Theia at an angle of 45 degrees or more. New evidence reported Jan. 29 in the journal Science substantially strengthens the case for a head-on assault.

Minutes after the 1964 magnitude-9.2 Great Alaska Earthquake began shaking, a series of tsunami waves swept through the village of Chenega in Prince William Sound, destroying all but two of the buildings and killing 23 of the 75 inhabitants. Fifty years later, scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey revealed the likely cause of the tsunami — a large set of underwater landslides.

The Peruvian volcano El Misti appears to have woken from centuries of dormancy with signs of increased activity. This does not mean there will be a volcanic eruption, and activity remains within a normal range of an active volcano. However, this is an interesting and opportune time for geologists to study the inner workings of volcanoes to better predict and understand their activity.

The Adirondacks may be "new," but the rock is a billion years old, pushed up through the newer rock of the Champlain region. Mixed in, the remains of even older rock can be found in pockets and veins — blue calcite laid down by warm oceans before the evolution of coral.

A new global analysis of seafood found that fish populations throughout the world's oceans are contaminated with industrial and agricultural pollutants, collectively known as persistent organic pollutants. The study from researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego also uncovered some good news — concentrations of these pollutants have been consistently dropping over the last 30 years.
