Detailed geologic mapping helps identify health hazards
Eos
It sounds like the beginning of a joke: What do you get when you put a team of geologists and nurses in the same room? But the answer is no laughing matter for Kentuckians.
Although smoking itself is a well-known health risk — and Kentucky dances around the top spot for cigarette smokers in the United States — smokers who live in a home with radon gas exposure can be 10 times more likely to be diagnosed with lung cancer.

Dozens of new viruses found in 15,000-year-old glacier ice
The Denver Channel
Dozens of viruses have been found inside a sample of glacier ice from Tibet believed to be about 15,000 years old.
The ice core samples were taken in 2015 from the Tibetan Plateau in western China about 22,000 feet above sea level and were studied by a team of researchers led by Zhi-Ping Zhong with The Ohio State University. Their research was recently published in the journal Microbiome.

Greece's Santorini volcano erupts more often when sea level drops
Science News
When sea level drops far below the present-day level, the island volcano Santorini in Greece gets ready to rumble.
A comparison of the activity of the volcano, which is now partially collapsed, with sea levels over the last 360,000 years reveals that when the sea level dips more than 40 meters below the present-day level, it triggers a fit of eruptions. During times of higher sea level, the volcano is quiet, researchers report online August 2 in Nature Geoscience.

Geologists take Earth's inner temperature using erupted sea glass
MIT News
If the Earth's oceans were drained completely, they would reveal a massive chain of undersea volcanoes snaking around the planet. This sprawling ocean ridge system is a product of overturning material in the Earth's interior, where boiling temperatures can melt and loft rocks up through the crust, splitting the sea floor and reshaping the planet's surface over hundreds of millions of years.

How some of your favourite landscapes around Calgary came to be
CBC News
When you walk along the south side of Nose Hill Park, overlooking the city, you can see the Rocky Mountains in the distance.
"That's where the story begins," said Leckie. "When you look at those Rocky Mountains off to the west, they were formed 165 million years ago to 60 million years ago. And then mountain building quit."
