I know everything I am looking for is here, watch movies, watch series, education, games, exams, news, current events and many more.
“#New mineral, ‘priscillagrewite,’ named in honor of renowned Nebraska geologist” Priscilla Grew, director emeritus of the University of Nebraska State Museum, surrounded by artifacts from Egypt, Ethiopia, Sudan and Tanzania. Credit: Greg Nathan | University Communication The greatest Christmas present Priscilla Grew received last year was an email. Priscilla and husband Ed were vacationing in Hawaii,…
“#New research provides global analysis of storm surge footprints” Credit: CC0 Public Domain New research provides a global analysis of the footprint of storm surges, providing a first step toward helping decision-makers coordinate flood management and emergency response plans across borders. When Category 4 Hurricane Laura made landfall, the biggest cause of alarm was a…
“#Estimation of carbonate stratal completeness via stratigraphic forward modeling” Columns of depth and time domains at the PW1 (a), PW2 (b) and PW3 (c) locations, corresponding to the platform margin, slope and basinal environments, showing the integrated accumulation and erosion (or slope failure) processes, and the preserved and missing time durations and the corresponding preserved…
“#Antarctica: Cracks in the ice” Credit: CC0 Public Domain In recent years, the Pine Island Glacier and the Thwaites Glacier in west Antarctica has been undergoing rapid changes, with potentially major consequences for rising sea levels. However, the processes that underlie these changes and their precise impact on the weakening of these ice sheets have…
“#Scientists explore the potential for further improvements to tropical cyclone track forecasts” Fengyun Satellite image of Typhoon Maysak which plowed into the Korean Peninsula in early September. Credit: National Satellite Meteorological Center of China Meteorological Administration A recent study suggested that we have probably approached the limit of predictability for tropical cyclone (TC) track prediction. If…
“#NASA satellite finds an elongated Tropical Storm Rene caused by wind shear” On Sept. 11 at 12:35 a.m. EDT (0435 UTC), the MODIS instrument that flies aboard NASA’s Aqua satellite revealed a small area of the most powerful thunderstorms (yellow) around Rene’s center where cloud top temperatures were as cold as minus 80 degrees Fahrenheit…
“#Shedding light on coral reefs” For the study, a profiling reflectance radiometer (PRR) was deployed over the side of a boat in Hawaii and Bermuda. The instrument simultaneously measures the spectrum (intensity for each color of the rainbow) of light in the water column coming down from the surface, as well as the spectrum of…
“#Understanding the ‘deep-carbon cycle’” Credit: Erin Walde – Transferred from en.wikipedia to Commons., CC BY-SA 3.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=86194448 New geologic findings about the makeup of the Earth’s mantle are helping scientists better understand long-term climate stability and even how seismic waves move through the planet’s layers. The research by a team including Case Western Reserve University…
“#Scientists map freshwater transport in the Arctic Ocean” Map of the study region. The colored lines denote the ship tracks of the oceanographic surveys whose data were used for the analysis of freshwater transport in the Arctic Ocean.

“#A new way to solve thermal maturity of marine shales with high-over maturities” MOA and solid bitumen in shales, and relationships between their Ramm parameters (RBS?ID/IG) and bitumen reflectance (BRo). Credit: ©Science China Press Laser Raman spectroscopy parameters of pure organic matter (e.g., vitrinite, solid bitumen) in sedimentary rocks have been widely applied for maturity…
