  • Scientists trace atmospheric rise in CO2 during deglaciation to deep Pacific Ocean August 13, 2018
    How carbon made it out of the ocean and into the atmosphere has remained one of the most important mysteries of science. A new study, provides some of the most compelling evidence for how it happened -- a 'flushing' of the deep Pacific Ocean caused by the acceleration of water circulation patterns that begin around […]
  • Laziness helped lead to extinction of Homo erectus August 10, 2018
    New archaeological research has found that Homo erectus, an extinct species of primitive humans, went extinct in part because they were 'lazy'.
  • Back to the future of climate change August 9, 2018
    Researchers are looking to the geologic past to make future projections about climate change. Their research focuses on the ancient Tethys Ocean (site of the present-day Mediterranean Sea) and provides a benchmark for present and future climate and ocean models.

  • Study of material surrounding distant stars shows Earth's ingredients 'pretty normal' August 15, 2018
    The Earth's building blocks seem to be built from 'pretty normal' ingredients, according to researchers working with the world's most powerful telescopes. Scientists have measured the compositions of 18 different planetary systems from up to 456 light years away and compared them to ours, and found that many elements are present in similar proportions to […]
  • Faster way to make mineral to remove carbon dioxide from atmosphere August 14, 2018
    Scientists have developed an accelerated way to produce magnesite, a mineral which can capture the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, at room temperature. Removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere would slow global warming. This work takes a different approach to existing processes, and may make it economically viable, but it is at an […]
  • Melt-rate of West Antarctic Ice Sheet highly sensitive to changes in ocean temperatures August 13, 2018
    Melting of ice shelves in West Antarctica speeds up and slows down in response to changes in deep ocean temperature, and is far more variable than previously thought, according to new research.

Not often one sees a PhD as beautiful as this - Rachel Pedder-Smith on botanical illustration (her own work) @KewScience. It is also an exceptionally interesting read: https://t.co/C9dv0fyU43 #BotanicalArt #Herbarium #SciArt
