It's hard to imagine a less auspicious time to be a tiny creature trying to eke out an existence. But this period, called the Cryogenian, is when complex animal life got going. From the wreckage of this ice-and-fire-scourged planet emerged the evolutionary group that would give rise to jellyfish and corals, mollusks, snails, fish, dinosaurs, beetles, birds and, eventually, all of us. This is no coincidence, scientists say.

Rice University via Phys.org
Through analysis of volcanic tracks, Rice University geophysicists have concluded that hot spots like those that formed the Hawaiian Islands aren't moving as fast as recently thought. Hot spots are areas where magma pushes up from deep Earth to form volcanoes. New results from geophysicist Richard Gordon and his team confirm that groups of hot spots around the globe can be used to determine how fast tectonic plates move.

Regional collaboration is essential to managing the impacts of droughts and floods across the Pacific.
This was the finding of the Fourth Pacific Meteorological Council (PMC-4), as it took a step towards the better management of floods and droughts through the establishment of a regional expert panel on hydrology.

Erosion is a natural process, acting slowly but incessantly over time. Geologists estimate that wind and rain erode the surface of the continents by almost three feet every 20,000 to 40,000 years. A new map, published in an open-access paper, using rainfall data of 3,625 stations scattered across 63 countries, tries to quantify how much energy is available to erode the land surface on a given spot in a year.

A half hour before the Aug. 21 solar eclipse reached its peak, meteorology students in the N.C. State University Soundings Club were expected to launch a helium-filled weather balloon.
The balloon would carrying a radiosonde — a small on-board weather station — to collect data about atmospheric pressure, temperature and humidity as much of the sun's energy is obscured by the moon. The recordings will be used by researchers to understand how the atmosphere responds during an eclipse.

During the past century, movement along the Queen Charlotte–Fairweather fault, which lies for most of its length beneath the waters off southeastern Alaska and British Columbia, has generated at least seven earthquakes of magnitude 7 or greater. This includes a magnitude 8.1 earthquake in 1949, the largest ever recorded in Canada. A systematic survey offers a striking portrait of movement along a 500-kilometer-long undersea section of the Queen Charlotte–Fairweather fault.

There have been more than 570 seismic activities in Oklahoma in 2017 as recorded by the U.S. Geological Survey. Scientists with the USGS and the Oklahoma Geological Survey began a six to 10-week survey of southwest Oklahoma's fault lines on Aug. 14 at the Altus Quartz Mountain Regional Airport. USGS and OGS are contracting with Glodak Airborne Surveys to conduct surveys in over 18 counties in southwestern and north-central Oklahoma to capture 3-D images of geology beneath Earth's surface for earthquakes hazard and mineral resources.
