Study reveals potential stability of ocean processes despite climate change
In a new study published in Global Biogeochemical Cycles, a journal of the American Geophysical Union, Pearse Buchanan, a scientist at the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies at the University of Tasmania, and his team integrated new, dynamic ways of representing marine ecosystem processes in ocean models. In applying them, they found that a more realistic representation of the marine ecosystem helped the ocean to take up and store carbon at similar rates regardless of global changes in physical properties, like temperature, salinity and circulation.

New model suggests the Moon formed inside the vaporized Earth
A new explanation for the Moon’s origin has it forming inside the Earth when our planet was a seething, spinning cloud of vaporized rock, called a synestia.

LASI V: Silica Flour Crust and Vegetable Oil Magma– Using Laboratory Experiments to Better Understand Ground Deformation, Magma Movement, and Volcanic Eruptions
Note: Dr. Olivier Galland, a senior researcher at the Physics of Geological Processes Center of Excellence at the University of Oslo, presented a talk, “Ground deformation associated with shallow magma intrusions” at the LASI V conference in Port Elizabeth, South Africa in October 2012. The article below is based on this talk and also an interview with Dr. Galland. Over a few weeks, I am highlighting some of the research …
