Its elliptical western lobe, the 1,240-mile-long Sputnik Planitia, caught the attention of planetary scientists: It appears to be a bowl carved out by a monumental ancient impact. And today it is filled with young floes of churning nitrogen ice.  READ MORE Intensity of past methane release measured with new, groundbreaking methods CAGE via ScienceDaily A novel approach to geochemical measurements helps scientists reconstruct the past intensity of the methane seeps in the Arctic Ocean. Recent studies show that methane emissions fluctuated, strongly, in response to known periods of abrupt climate change at the end of the last glacial cycle.  READ MORE Monitoring volcanic eruptions using lightning Physics Volcanologist Alexa Van Eaton explains the origins of electrical activity in volcanic ash plumes and why it sometimes leads to detectable lightning.  READ MORE Land animals began dying in Earth's greatest extinction long before marine life Science Alert Around a quarter of a billion years ago, the vast majority of species on land and sea were wiped out in The Great Dying, thanks to a series of volcanic eruptions spewing out noxious greenhouse gases. With the discovery that land animals had a big head start in this tremendous mass extinction, researchers are now starting to suspect there might have been a lot more to the story. This research was published in Nature Communications.  READ MORE After a 5.7 earthquake, Utah seismologists investigate a 'virtually unknown' fault The Salt Lake Tribune Soon after Salt Lake City stopped shaking March 18 from its strongest earthquake on record, Amir Allam, a University of Utah seismologist, knew he had to get busy if he hoped to closely study the hundreds of aftershocks he knew would follow the 7:09 a.m. jolt. The fault that is believed to have moved along the eastern base of the Oquirrh Mountains is virtually unknown, and here was a chance, dropping out of the blue, to image it. But Allam had a problem.  READ MORE    MISSED AN ISSUE OF AIPG eNEWS? VISIT AND SEARCH THE ARCHIVE TODAY.
