Ancient Rocks Improve Understanding of Tectonic Activity Between Earthquakes
Rocks once buried deep in ancient subduction zones — where tectonic plates collide — could help scientists make better predictions of how these zones behave during the years between major earthquakes, according to a research team from Penn State and Brown University.
Researchers at UMass Amherst Discover Key to Molecular Mystery of How Plants Respond to Changing Conditions
A team of researchers from the University of Massachusetts Amherst recently published a pioneering study that answers a central question in biology: how do organisms rally a wide range of cellular processes when they encounter a change—either internally or in the external environment—to thrive in good times or survive the bad times?
Ice Cores Provide First Documentation of Rapid Antarctic Ice Loss in the Past
Researchers from the University of Cambridge and the British Antarctic Survey have uncovered the first direct evidence that the West Antarctic Ice Sheet shrunk suddenly and dramatically at the end of the Last Ice Age, around 8,000 years ago.
Monterey Bay Aquarium Study Reveals How Kelp Forests Persisted Through the Large 2014-2016 Pacific Marine Heatwave
New research led by Monterey Bay Aquarium and the University of California, Santa Cruz, reveals that denser, and more sheltered, kelp forests can withstand serious stressors amid warming ocean temperatures.
Permafrost Restrains Arctic Rivers—and Lots of Carbon
New research from Dartmouth provides the first evidence that the Arctic’s frozen soil is the dominant force shaping Earth’s northernmost rivers.
