What scientists learned about a Bay Area fault that could unleash a magnitude 6.9 earthquake
SFGate
From Oct. 4: A new study shines a light on a system of earthquake faults in the San Francisco Bay Area that most residents don't even know exists. The Foothill Thrust Belt faults are deep under Silicon Valley, and researchers at Stanford found they're capable of generating a magnitude 6.9 earthquake every 250 to 300 years. To put a magnitude 6.9 earthquake in perspective, the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake measured this magnitude.

'Zombie ice' from Greenland will raise sea level 10 inches, study warns
CBS News
From Aug. 30: "Zombie ice" from the massive Greenland ice sheet will eventually raise global sea level by at least 10 inches (27 centimeters) on its own, according to a study released.
Zombie or doomed ice is ice that is still attached to thicker areas of ice, but is no longer getting fed by those larger glaciers. That's because the parent glaciers are getting less replenishing snow. Meanwhile the doomed ice is melting from climate change, said study co-author William Colgan, a glaciologist at the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland.

Scientists just confirmed the hottest rock ever recorded on earth
ScienceAlert
From April 19: It's confirmed: The hottest rock ever discovered in Earth's crust really was super-hot.
The rock, a fist-sized piece of black glass, was discovered in 2011 and first reported in 2017, when scientists wrote in the journal Earth and Planetary Science Letters that it had been formed in temperatures reaching 4,298 degrees Fahrenheit (2,370 degrees Celsius), hotter than much of the Earth's mantle.

New maps of global geological provinces and tectonic plates
Phys.org
From June 14: New models that show how the continents were assembled are providing fresh insights into the history of the Earth and will help provide a better understanding of natural hazards like earthquakes and volcanoes.
"We looked at the current knowledge of the configuration of plate boundary zones and the past construction of the continental crust," said Dr. Derrick Hasterok, Lecturer, Department of Earth Sciences, University of Adelaide who led the team that produced the new models.

More than 50 earthquakes rattle Hawaii volcano in past 24 hours, geologists say
The Sacramento Bee
From Nov. 22: A swarm of at least 50 small-magnitude earthquakeshas rattled the Mauna Loa volcano on the Big Island in Hawaii over the past 24 hours, the U.S. Geological Survey reported recently. All of the quakes were below 3.0 magnitude, geologists said. Mauna Loa is the world's biggest active volcano.

Why the Mount Nyiragongo volcano erupted with little to no warning
Phys.org
From Sept. 6: An international team of researchers found clues that help to explain why the Mount Nyiragongo volcano erupted with little to no warning despite the installation of seismic monitors several years prior. In their paper published in the journal Nature, the researchers describe their study of data surrounding the eruption and what they learned from it.

Scientists shine new light on role of Earth's orbit in the fate of ancient ice sheets
ScienceDaily
From May 31: Scientists have finally put to bed a long-standing question over the role of Earth's orbit in driving global ice age cycles.
In a new study published today in the journal Science, the team from Cardiff University has been able to pinpoint exactly how the tilting and wobbling of the Earth as it orbits around the Sun has influenced the melting of ice sheets in the Northern Hemisphere over the past 2 million years or so.

Earth's insides are cooling faster than we thought, and it will mess things up
Science Alert
From Jan. 18: Earth formed 4.5 billion years or so ago. Ever since then, it's been slowly cooling on the inside.
While the surface and atmosphere temperatures fluctuate over the eons (and yes, those external temperatures are currently warming), the molten interior — the beating heart of our planet — has been cooling this entire time.
