There is now a proven, fast, low-cost method to eliminate PFAS risk using colloidal activated carbon,
which creates a permeable in-situ sorption barrier, purifying groundwater as it migrates. By rapidly
removing PFAS from the mobile phase, exposure to down-gradient receptors is eliminated, thereby
eliminating the down-gradient public health risk associated with PFAS. Learn more.

For many decades, scientists have hypothesized that there are areas deep in the Earth's interior that contain material untouched since the planet was formed.
These domains of primordial material are leftovers from the ancient event that saw the separation of our planet's core from the silicate component which makes up most of the Earth's crust and mantle.
Now, new University of Melbourne research is shedding some light on this puzzle using kimberlites — an igneous rock.

In the search for the earliest life on Earth, it can be hard to tell whether you're looking at an actual fossil, or crinkles in the rock itself. Such doubts have long shadowed the 1980s discovery of 3.5 billion-year-old fossils in the Australian desert. Now, scientists think they have finally put the matter to bed. In ancient fossilized microbe formations called stromatolites, found in the Dresser Formation fossil site of the Pilbara region, researchers have finally detected traces of organic matter.

Researchers have discovered a hidden continent on Earth though it's not Atlantis. They found it while reconstructing the evolution of Mediterranean region's complex geology, which rises with mountain ranges and dips with seas from Spain to Iran. The continent is called Greater Adria. It's the size of Greenland and it broke off from North Africa, only to be buried under Southern Europe about 140 million years ago.
The study was published this month in the journal Gondwana Research.

In low-to-moderate seismicity (intraplate) regions where locally recorded strong motion data are too scare for conventional regression analysis, stochastic simulations based on seismological modelling have often been used to predict ground motions of future earthquakes. This modelling methodology has been practiced in Central and Eastern North America (CENA) for decades.

Microbial metabolisms of arsenic, iron, sulfur, nitrogen and organic matter play important roles in arsenic mobilization in aquifer. In this study, microbial community composition and functional potentials in a high arsenic groundwater were investigated using integrated techniques of RNA- and DNA-based 16S rRNA gene sequencing, metagenomic sequencing and functional gene arrays.

Off the coast of Guaymas, Sonora, a research vessel will be drilling into the seabed of the Gulf of California to collect samples of sediments. These samples will be used to study the tectonics, magmatism and microbial activity of the Guaymas Basin. The JOIDES Resolution is set to set sail as part of the International Ocean Discovery Program marine research initiative. Onboard the research vessel will be a team of 33 scientists from nine countries.

We present reaction balancing and thermodynamic modeling based on microtextural observations and mineral chemistry, to constrain the history of phosphate crystallization within two lunar mare basalts, 10003 and 14053. Phosphates are typically found within intercumulus melt pockets (mesostasis), representing the final stages of basaltic crystallization. In addition to phosphates, these pockets typically consist of Fe-rich clinopyroxene, fayalite, plagioclase, ilmenite, SiO2 and a residual K-rich glass.

Minerals
The Detour Lake deposit is at a faulted contact between mafic volcanic and siliciclastic to volcaniclastic rocks, differing from other orogenic Au deposits in the dominantly greenschist facies Abitibi region, by possessing amphibolite facies assemblages. Consequently, typical indicator minerals for mineralization, like secondary biotite, may not be useful for locating ore zone, due to the challenge of distinguishing hydrothermal versus metamorphic and magmatic phases.

A new species of dinosaur has been discovered. It's called Kwanasaurus williamparkeri, a dinosauromorph about as large as a medium-sized dog. It measured about four or five feet in length with it's tail accounting for much of that span.
Its fossils were unearthed by Texas Tech researcher Bryan Small near the towns of Eagle and Gypsum in northern Colorado. The fossils had been collected over 20 years and were stored and preserved for study.
