Researchers from the University of Hawaii at Manoa (UHM) School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (SOEST) recently discovered that infrared satellite data could be used to predict when lava flow-forming eruptions will end.

One of the first geological lessons we learn is that continents are constantly moving. The evidence of these plate tectonic movements is written in the rocks. But the rocks only tell us half of the story. The other half is contained in the evolutionary history of animals. In our recent paper we have made the most comprehensive comparison yet between tectonic plate movements and the evolution of the genes of animals. We found they are in agreement for dating million year old breakup of continents and the divergence of different animal groups.

Without a magnetic field life on Earth would be rather uncomfortable. Cosmic particles would pass through our atmosphere in large quantities and damage the cells of all living beings. Technical systems would malfunction frequently and electronic components could be destroyed completely in some cases. Despite its huge significance for life on our planet, it is still not fully known what creates Earth's magnetic field. A recent discovery might provide a new explanatory angle.

The giant iceberg known as A-68 that was produced in the Antarctic last week continues to drift seaward.
All the latest satellite images indicate the gap between the 6,000-sq-km block and the floating Larsen C Ice Shelf from which it calved is widening. The monster berg — which is one of the biggest ever recorded — is so far behaving as expected.

Tree rings from a prehistoric forest recently uncovered in Iceland has helped scientists to more accurately date a large volcanic eruption in Mount Katla decades before humans permanently settled the island. The eruption in the 9th century is the oldest volcanic eruption to be precisely dated at high northern latitudes, according to a report on the University of Cambridge website.

Mountaintop-removal coal mining causes many streams and rivers in Appalachia to run consistently saltier for up to 80 percent of the year, a new study by researchers at the University of Wyoming and Duke University finds. Over time, alkaline salts and other contaminants from the coal residue and crushed rocks in valley fills leach into nearby streams and rivers, degrading water quality and causing dramatic increases in salinity that are harmful to downstream ecosystems.

Chinese paleontologists have discovered a large fossil site in southwest China's Chongqing city, according to a press conference held June 28 by the city government.
More than 5,000 fossils have been excavated from a "fossil wall" in Pu'an Township, Yunyang County, since October last year — just a year after the site was spotted by a local farmer. It is estimated that a large number of dinosaur fossils are buried at least 20 meters underground.

Tremors on Earth have helped scientists probe the interior of the planet, and shakeups on icy moons could do the same. By simulating icequakes on Jupiter's icy moons Europa, Callisto and Ganymede, as well as Saturn's frozen satellite Enceladus, researchers have concluded that each world would have its own unique sound signature. Including an instrument to track the trembling crust on each world on future missions could reveal insights about the habitability of the icy layers beneath the surface.
