Measuring the size or strength of natural events has always been a challenge for natural scientists. They developed the Richter Magnitude scale to estimate the amount of energy released by an earthquake, the Saffir-Simpson scale to estimate a hurricane's potential, and the Fujita scale for rating the intensity of hurricanes. These scales are valuable for comparing different events and for understanding the amount of damage that events of different size can cause.

The signals were picked up by the Advanced LIGO facilities in the U.S. and are determined to have come from the merger of two huge black holes some three billion light-years from Earth. It is the third time now that the labs' laser instruments have been perturbed by the warping of space-time. The detection confirms that a new era in the investigation of the cosmos is now truly under way. "The key thing to take away from this third, highly confident event is that we're really moving from novelty to new observational science — a new astronomy of gravitational waves," said David Shoemaker, spokesperson for the LIGO Scientific Collaboration.

While the future of the West Coast's earthquake early warning system is in peril from President Trump's proposed budget cuts, the network is beginning to slowly gain traction in both small and big ways. A scattering of buildings are now equipped with audible alarms that will give occupants an advance warning ranging from seconds to more than a minute before the shaking from a major earthquake begins.

Futurity: Research News
A volcanic eruption 440 million years ago may have been so severe it killed off most of the animals that existed at the time. The mass extinction, one of the five largest in Earth's history that came at the end of the Ordivician geological period, may have been caused by pulses of atmospheric carbon dioxide and sulfate aerosols mixed together. The counterpart of the tumult in the skies was death in the seas. At a time when most of the planet north of the tropics was covered by an ocean and most complex multicellular organisms lived in the sea, 85 percent of marine animal species disappeared forever.

The famous Rancho La Brea site in Los Angeles has produced millions of fossils, from microscopic pollen and small insects to the bones of imperial mammoths. More than 231 species of vertebrates, 159 species of plants and 234 species of invertebrates have been found there. The tar pits and the Page Museum are right along Wilshire Boulevard — the same Wilshire that runs through Beverly Hills.

Dinosaur Ridge is actually a section of the Dakota Hogback, a steeply sloped ridge that extends several hundred miles along Colorado's Front Range and divides the state's mountains from its plains. The Dakota Hogback is a remnant from a period of mountain-building that occurred approximately 70 million years ago, when the modern Rocky Mountains were uplifted in a process that tilted and exposed older, underlying rock strata — some fossil-bearing.

Could Michigan become a potash producer to compete with the likes of Canadian behemoth PotashCorp and U.S. fertilizer giant Agrium Inc.? While that seems a stretch, considering the high barriers to entry into a market dominated by a few large conglomerates, a media report surfaced this week indicating that Denver-based Michigan Potash Co. LLC, is proposing a $700 million potash extraction and processing operation to tap into a deep underground potash deposit near Hersey.

When zapped with the world’s strongest x-ray laser beam, big atoms within some molecules do something very strange: They behave a bit like minuscule "black holes," sucking in electrons from the molecules around them, a new study has found. But rather than just teaching us more about the cosmos, these findings may help with something a lot closer to home. Researchers think this tactic could let scientists better analyze viruses, bacteria and other tiny complex structures here on Earth.
