During the last Ice Age about 20,000 years ago, iron-containing dust acted as a fertilizer for marine phytoplankton in the South Pacific, promoting carbon dioxide sequestration and thus the glacial cooling of the Earth. But where did the dust come from?

A long-standing mystery in the study of glaciers was recently and serendipitously solved. A trigger was identified for some of the largest floods on Earth — those emerging suddenly and unpredictably from beneath glaciers or ice caps.

The impact of sea surface temperature variations in the tropical Pacific on global climate has long been recognized. For instance, the episodic warming of the tropical Pacific during El Niño events causes melt of sea ice in far-reaching parts of the Southern Ocean via its effect on the global atmospheric circulation. A new study demonstrates … Polar climate affects trade wind strength in tropics
A group of climate experts make the case for including paleoclimate data in the development of climate models. Such models are used globally to assess the impacts of human-caused greenhouse gas emissions, predict scenarios for future climate and propose strategies for mitigation.

Among seismologists, the geology of Alaska’s earthquake- and volcano-rich coast from the Aleutian Islands to the southeast is fascinating, but not well understood. Now, with more sophisticated tools than before, a team reports unexpected new details about the area’s tectonic plates and their relationships to volcanoes.

Researchers have evaluated data from the Sentinel 1 satellite mission of the European Union’s Copernicus program and thus demonstrated new possibilities for monitoring mining areas. The researchers used a special radar method, the Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry (InSAR), to investigate lignite regions in North Rhine-Westphalia in Germany.

In a study that gives new meaning to the term ‘rock bottom,’ seismic researchers have discovered the underside of a rocky slab of Earth’s lithosphere that has been pulled more than 400 miles beneath northeastern China by the process of tectonic subduction.

Geologists have found that a volcanic province in the Indian Ocean was the world’s most continuously active — erupting for 30 million years — fueled by a constantly moving ‘conveyor belt’ of magma.
