Evolving the Geodetic Infrastructure
Enhancements to the largely invisible framework will enable researchers to investigate pressing questions about our planet’s future.
A New Method Produces Improved Surface Strain Rate Maps
The transdimensional Bayesian approach handles GPS data limitations better than existing methods and may assist future seismic hazard assessment studies.
Remote-Controlled Ocean Drones Observe Atmospheric Cold Pools
Novel uncrewed sailing vehicles measured properties of atmospheric cold pools in hard-to-reach regions of the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean.
Particles at the Ocean Surface and Seafloor Aren’t So Different
Despite occurring on different scales, flux measurements throughout the water column share log-normal probability distributions.
Carbonate Standards Ensure Better Paleothermometers
A community effort finds that carbonate standards eliminate the interlaboratory differences plaguing carbonate clumped-isotope thermometry studies.
Timing of Earth’s Oxygenation May Need a 100-Million-Year Revision
A new study revises estimates for when oxygen became a permanent part of the atmosphere and solves a puzzle about glaciation during the Paleoproterozoic era.
High School Junior Builds Cheap Earthquake Warning Device
The project exploring seismic noise during the coronavirus pandemic was fueled by Google searches and bathroom soldering sessions.
Warmer Climates Speed Breakdown of Rocks
Researchers listened to boulders for thousands of hours to investigate how they weathered.
First Detection of a Built-In Wobble on Another Planet
Spacecraft find that Mars oscillates 10 centimeters off its axis of rotation.
