Predicting when and where earthquakes will strike and volcanoes erupt is notoriously difficult. But what if you could identify weak patches in the Earth's crust that might be more likely to shake or explode? A pair of geologists used electrical conductivity measurements to infer the fluidity and solidness of Earth's outer layers. Their modeling could one day help forecast volcanic eruptions and help us understand why earthquakes occur in some regions and not others.

Some 56 million years ago, carbon surged into Earth's atmosphere, raising temperatures by 5 to 8 degrees Celcius and causing huge wildlife migrations. But what triggered this so-called Paleocene-Eocene thermal maximum (PETM) has remained a mystery. Now, in new work presented on Sept. 27 at the annual meeting of the Geological Society of America, a group of scientists bolsters its claim that a small comet impact kicked off the PETM,

For Steve Hageman, satisfaction came in a very small package.
Finding a fossil about the size of a fingernail on Chilhowee Mountain near Walland, Tennessee, signified the successful result of a three-year search by the professor of geology at Appalachian State University, and solved a 124-year-old mystery.

Mercury, the planet in the solar system closest to the sun, remains one of the most mysterious bodies in the night sky. The small, inhospitable planet orbits the sun at an uncomfortably close distance, temperatures fluctuating between –173 degrees Celsius to 427 degrees Celsius. But a recent study suggests that Mercury may share a rare trait with our much more hospitable planet Earth: tectonic activity.

A big rock looks set to come down on the Aletsch glacier in Valais, Switzerland. Geologists have discovered major cracks on one of the mountain faces. It is moving 20 centimeters every day. While experts are not yet alarms, they don't know how soon the mountain face will slide nor how exactly it will come down.

The Arctic, often referred to as a polar desert, is actually a region where the cycling of freshwater has produced — and could produce even greater — changes to biogeophysical and socioeconomic systems important to northern residents, as well as potentially causing extra-Arctic climatic effects. To evaluate this, a scientific assessment (the Arctic Freshwater Synthesis) was conducted of the Arctic Freshwater System.

Rockd is now available free at the App Store and will be submitted to Google Play shortly. People can use it as a portable, GPS-powered field guide, but Shanan Peters, a professor of geoscience at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, hopes its interactive features will raise the sum of geologic knowledge. Rockd serves both amateur rock lovers and professional geologists, he says.

It is a hulking chunk of basalt with an ironic name. But in the North Woods town of Ely, Minnesota, the sedan-sized specimen of billowed lava known as "Pillow Rock" has managed to wedge city leaders between a rock and a hard place. Almost everyone agrees that the boulder, formed underwater an estimated 2.7 billion years ago, sits underappreciated and could be better promoted as a tourist attraction in the town of 3,500. But just as the City Council was poised to sign an agreement to move the rock to a spot where more people would see it, opponents raised a ruckus.
