New 3D model reveals geophysical structures beneath Britain

Fountain: Geophysical Research Journal: Solid Earth Magnetotelluric (MT) data, which contain measurements of electric and magnetic field variations at the Earth’s surface, provide information about the electrical resistivity of the Earth’s crust and upper mantle. Changes in resistivityor the ability to conduct an electric current, may indicate the presence of geological features such as igneous…

Scientists discover that water turns into a new type of ice. Could exist on alien worlds

Credit: ZME Science/Midjourney. When scientists squeezed a drop of water between two diamonds to withstand pressures tens of thousands of times greater than Earth’s atmosphere, something unexpected happened. The liquid solidified at room temperature, not into any known form of ice, but into a new crystalline phase. This never-before-seen structure, called ice XXI, was discovered…

Overturning EPA’s Hazard Finding Threatens Decades of Climate Progress

We are deeply alarmed by the Environmental Protection Agency’s plan to reverse its long-standing greenhouse gas hazard determination. This action undermines decades of rigorous scientific research showing that carbon dioxide, methane and other emissions pose a clear threat to human health and well-being. AGU strongly supports the global scientific community: the weight of the evidence…
