A "calendar" of the past has revolutionized the dating of geologic archives, identifying ages of geologic periods based on astronomy. This astronomical answer has a built-in clock (computing planetary orbits backward in time), providing an accurate chronology for the geologic record.
However, geologists and astronomers have struggled to extend the astronomical time scale farther back than 50 million years because of solar system chaos, which has made the time scale unpredictable beyond a certain point.
In a new study published in Science, researchers offer a way to overcome the roadblock.

Bad wells tend to be excluded from studies on groundwater quality which leads to biased assessments, a new study concludes. If this is the case, the state of the groundwater may worse than we thought in many parts of the world. Researchers realized something was wrong with groundwater study when they noticed a major discrepancy between official data and anecdotal stories from southern India.

Aquatic, worm-like animals capable of crawling through mud appeared at least 550 million years ago, according to new fossil evidence. The discovery is helping to resolve a longstanding question as to when segmented, mobile animals first appeared on the planet.
It's the paleontological equivalent of finally being able to put a face to a name.

The reliability of general circulation climate model (GCM) global air temperature projections is evaluated for the first time, by way of propagation of model calibration error. An extensive series of demonstrations show that GCM air temperature projections are just linear extrapolations of fractional greenhouse gas (GHG) forcing. Linear projections are subject to linear propagation of error.

The Navajo Sandstone is known for its beautiful red and tan crossbedded sandstones that grace many of the national parks and monuments in the Southwest U.S. The sands were deposited in dunes within the largest known sand sea (erg) in Earth's history during the Early Jurassic. These deposits show a record of desertification — the process by which fertile lands become desert. How did this landscape lose its water bodies, vegetation and animals?

Monazite is a common accessory phosphate mineral that occurs under a wide range of pressure and temperature conditions in sedimentary, metamorphic and igneous rocks. Monazite contains high amounts of Th and U, rendering single monazite grains suitable for in-situ U-Th/Pb dating using laser ablation inductively-coupled mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS). Here, we analyzed five monazite reference materials for their U-Th/Pb ages using LA-ICP-MS technique and applied a variety of laser spot diameters and repetition rates to find the best operational conditions to achieve accurate age data while maintaining maximum precision.

The scale of the tsunami hazard from volcanoes that collapse into the sea has been underestimated.
That's the conclusion of a new analysis of satellite pictures of Indonesia's Anak Krakatau showing the aftermath of its flank failure last December. The study concludes that the volume of material that slipped into the water was actually relatively small.

Chinese media is claiming that while investigating the far side of the moon, the country's Yutu-2 lunar rover stumbled upon a unique "gel-like" substance of unknown origin sitting inside a small crater. Yutu-2 made the discovery during its eighth lunar day on the moon as it zipped through an area riddled with small impact craters.

Stones and boulders in shallow waters (0–10 m water depth) form complex geo-habitats, serving as a hardground for many benthic species, and are important contributors to coastal biodiversity and high benthic production. This study focuses on limitations in stone and boulder detection using high-resolution sidescan sonar images in shallow water environments of the southwestern Baltic Sea. Observations were carried out using sidescan sonars operating with frequencies from 450 kHz up to 1 MHz to identify individual stones and boulders within different levels of resolution.
