Scientists exploring Mars and analysing Martian meteorite samples have found organic compounds essential for life: nitrogen-bearing organics in a 4-billion-year-old Martian meteorite. With a new high-spatial resolution in-situ N-chemical speciation technique, they found organic materials — either synthesized locally or delivered during the Noachian — preserved intact in carbonate minerals over a long geological period. Their presence requires abiotic or biotic N-fixation and ammonia storage, suggesting early Mars had a less oxidizing environment than today.

University at Buffalo climate scientist Beata Csatho is co-author of a new study that makes precise, detailed measurements of how the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets have changed over 16 years. The research employed insights from NASA's Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2). The new study, published online in Science on April 30, provides insights into how polar ice sheets are changing.

Greenland is very cold and covered in a massive ice sheet that's nearly two miles thick in places. But beneath that sheet there is a giant, rocky island that wasn't always frozen over, with an undulating topography of valleys and river corridors, including one canyon as deep as the Grand Canyon in places and longer than its famous cousin. According to a new study, published in the journal Geology, the canyon in northern Greenland came to be through repeated ancient floods.

The paper presents the results of a study on clay minerals and detrital material of biosiliceous rocks (Paleocene–Eocene) from three sections in the Transuralian region. The authigenic processes in sediments resulted in the formation of dioctahedral clay minerals (illite, smectite) and insignificant amounts of sulfide phases (pyrite, hydrotroillite).

Frenchman Mountain is a large mountain on the east side of the Las Vegas Valley. Many locals mistakenly call it Sunrise Mountain (which is actually the name of the lower peak behind nearby Nellis Air Force Base). Even though Frenchman Mountain is 60 miles from the mouth of the Grand Canyon, an important connection exists between these two geologic features, and geologists have now formally linked them together. The study is published in the May 2020 edition of the journal Geology.
