The longest known earthquake lasted 32 years
Scientific American
A devastating earthquake that rocked the Indonesian island of Sumatra in 1861 was long thought to be a sudden rupture on a previously quiescent fault. But new research finds that the tectonic plates below the island had been slowly and quietly rumbling against each other for 32 years before the cataclysmic event.
This decades-long, silent earthquake — known as a "slow-slip event" — was the longest sequence of its kind ever detected.

Study pinpoints key causes of ocean circulation change
EurekAlert!
Researchers have identified the key factors that influence a vital pattern of ocean currents.
The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) carries warm water from the tropics northward.
Many scientists think that this heat transport makes areas including north-west Europe and the UK warmer than they would otherwise be.

Scientists sound alarm about unprecedented mercury accumulation in Pacific Ocean trenches
EurekAlert!
A newly released scientific paper in Nature Publishing's Scientific Reports Journal has revealed unprecedented amounts of highly toxic mercury are deposited in the deepest trenches of the Pacific Ocean.
The study, a multi-national effort involving scientists from Denmark, Canada, Germany and Japan, reports the first-ever direct measurements of mercury deposition into one of the logistically most challenging environments to sample on Earth, and the deepest at eight to 10 kilometers under the sea.

Iceland's glaciers lose 750 km2 in 20 years
Phys.org
Iceland's glaciers have lost around 750 square kilometres (290 square miles), or seven percent of their surface, since the turn of the millennium due to global warming, a study published recently.
The glaciers, which cover more than 10 percent of the country's land mass, shrank in 2019 to 10,400 square kilometres, the study in the Icelandic scientific journal Jokull said.

A new tool may make geological microscopy data more accessible
Eos
It all started with a problem many geoscientists faced in 2020.
Alex Steiner, a doctoral student at Michigan State University, had research to do working on thin sections — slivers of geological materials that are usually analyzed under a microscope. But he and the two undergraduate students on the project were not allowed to access the lab or the geological samples they were working on. Because, well, pandemic.
