In a study released Feb. 14, U.S. Geological Survey scientists and their colleagues document how the 2015-16 winter featured one of the most powerful El Niño climate events of the last 145 years. Investigating 29 beaches along the U.S West Coast from Washington to southern California, researchers found that winter beach erosion was 76 percent above normal, by far the highest ever recorded, and most beaches in California eroded beyond historical extremes.

Beneath the waves in the southwest Pacific Ocean lies a mostly hidden realm — dubbed Zealandia — that deserves to be called a continent, geologists say. Geophysical data suggest that a region spanning 5 million square kilometers, which includes New Zealand and New Caledonia, is a single, intact piece of continental crust and is geologically separate from Australia, a team of scientists from New Zealand, Australia and New Caledonia argue in the March/April issue of GSA Today.

NASA's Dawn spacecraft recently detected organic-rich areas on Ceres. Scientists evaluated the geology of the regions to conclude that the organics are most likely native to the dwarf planet. Data from the spacecraft suggest that the interior of Ceres is the source of these organic materials, as opposed to arriving via impacting asteroids or comets, according to a new article.

Predicting earthquakes is the holy grail of seismology. After all, quakes are deadly precisely because they're erratic — striking without warning, triggering fires and tsunamis, and sometimes killing hundreds of thousands of people. If scientists could warn the public weeks or months in advance that a large temblor is coming, evacuation and other preparations could save countless lives.

U.S. senators in Alaska, Washington and Hawaii have proposed legislation intended to improve volcano monitoring efforts and early warning capabilities. The measure would put the Alaska, Cascades and Hawaiian volcano observatories into a connected system and create a 24-hour Volcano Watch Office to provide ongoing situational awareness of active volcanoes in the U.S. and its territories.

The Earth's mantle is a very complex mixture. Deep under the surface could lie 90 percent of our planet's carbon. But new research has suggested that the sheer amount of it could be even larger than scientists first predicted.

A new geological analysis of the Rockall area offshore northwest Scotland could help de-risk exploration in this area. Geologists at the University of Aberdeen studied new seismic data supplied by Britain's Oil and Gas Authority in an attempt to gain a clearer understanding of the Rockall basin. The 12 wells drilled to date in the region have delivered one discovery. Further exploration may have been impacted by misconceptions concerning the subsurface geology, according to Dr. Nick Schofield from the University's Department of Geology and Petroleum Geology, who headed the project.

Researchers have completed the first flights of a NASA-led field campaign that is targeting one of the biggest gaps in scientists' understanding of Earth's water resources: snow. NASA uses the vantage point of space to study all aspects of Earth as an interconnected system. But there remain significant obstacles to measuring accurately how much water is stored across the planet's snow-covered regions. The amount of water in snow plays a major role in water availability for drinking water, agriculture and hydropower.
