The rate of sea-level rise in the 20th century along much of the U.S. Atlantic coast was the fastest in 2,000 years, and southern New Jersey had the fastest rates, according to a new study.

Glaciers in Southeast Alaska have been melting since the end of the Little Ice Age, many of which are in close proximity to strike-slip faults. When these glaciers melt, the land begins to rise, and the faults they’d previously sutured become unclamped. In this study, scientists determine this process has influenced the timing and location … Melting glaciers contribute to Alaska earthquakes
What would a volcano – and its lava flows – look like on a planetary body made primarily of metal? A pilot study offers insights into ferrovolcanism that could help scientists interpret landscape features on other worlds.

Along submarine mountain ranges, the mid-ocean ridges, forces from the Earth’s interior push tectonic plates apart, forming new ocean floor and thus moving continents about. However, many features of the processes summarized under the term plate tectonics are still unclear. New research assigns transform faults which offset mid-ocean ridges a completely new role in plate … A new view on plate tectonics
Lightning strikes were just as important as meteorites in creating the perfect conditions for life to emerge on Earth, according to new research. This shows that life could develop on Earth-like planets through the same mechanism at any time if atmospheric conditions are right. Title: Lightning strikes played a vital role in life’s origins on … Lightning strikes played a vital role in life’s origins on Earth
Scientists found frozen plant fossils, preserved under a mile of ice on Greenland. The discovery helps confirm a new and troubling understanding that the Greenland Ice Sheet has melted entirely during recent warm periods in Earth’s history — like the one we are now creating with human-caused climate change. The new study provides strong evidence … Scientists stunned to discover plants beneath mile-deep Greenland ice
Geologists have long thought tectonic plates move because they are pulled by the weight of their sinking portions and that an underlying, hot, softer layer called asthenosphere serves as a passive lubricant. But a team of geologists at has found that layer is actually flowing vigorously, moving fast enough to drive plate motions.

New research has revealed a method by which scientists — and the public — can have perhaps years of advance warning about a potential eruption.

Abrupt shifts of the Southern Hemisphere westerly winds, paced by subtle variations in Earth’s orbit, lie at the heart of ice age cycles, according to an international research team. This ‘Zealandia Switch’ hypothesis differs from the long-held view that orbital influences on the extent of Northern Hemisphere continental ice sheets regulate ice age climates. Southern … Zealandia switch: New theory of regulation of ice age climates
