FSU geologists publish new findings on carbonate melts in Earth's mantle Florida State University News Geologists from Florida State University’s Department of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Science have discovered how carbon-rich molten rock in the Earth’s upper mantle might affect the movement of seismic waves. The new research was coauthored by EOAS Associate Professor of Geology Mainak Mookherjee and postdoctoral researcher Suraj Bajgain. Findings from the study were published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. READ MORE

Computer model could track precipitation, sea level and tectonic uplift changes Nature World News A new study utilizes a computational model to look at sediment deposits and track precipitation, sea level and tectonic uplift changes. A record of forces shaping our planet's surface can be seen in natural records, such as tree rings, cave formations and sediment patterns. READ MORE

Origins of the sarsen megaliths at Stonehenge Science Advances The sources of the stone used to construct Stonehenge around 2,500 BCE have been debated for over four centuries. The smaller “bluestones” near the center of the monument have been traced to Wales, but the origins of the sarsen (silcrete) megaliths that form the primary architecture of Stonehenge remain unknown. Here, we use geochemical data to show that 50 of the 52 sarsens at the monument share a consistent chemistry and, by inference, originated from a common source area. We then compare the geochemical signature of a core extracted from Stone 58 at Stonehenge with equivalent data for sarsens from across southern Britain. READ MORE

Ancient rivers and critical minerals in Eastern Alaska Eos Fieldwork is revealing a history of landscape evolution over the past 5 million years that links climate change and river capture to critical mineral resources across the Alaska-Yukon border. READ MORE

Study reveals palaeovegetation and palaeoclimate changes across Triassic-Jurassic transition in south China Phys.org The Triassic-Jurassic (T-J) transition interval (ca. 200 Ma) is characterized by a major mass extinction in which major biotic turnover occurred in both marine and terrestrial realms. However, studies on the terrestrial response to this event are still limited, especially in the eastern Tethys region of eastern Asia. READ MORE
