New research by scientists at the University of Vermont and Imperial College, London, published in the February 2015
issue of the journal Geology, show that eroded soil, carried in rivers like this one, accelerated dramatically in the wake of European forest - clearing and intensive agriculture in North America.
On the basis of seismic measurements published in the current
issue of the journal Geology, scientists from Potsdam (GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences), Bremerhaven (Alfred - Wegener - Institute, AWI) and Kiel (GEOMAR) show that impacts of the mantle plume on the continental crust are actually surprisingly small.
In his research published in the December
issue of the journal Geology of the Geological Society of America, Czaja and his colleagues Nicolas Beukes from the University of Johannesburg and Jeffrey Osterhout, a recently graduated master's student from UC's department of geology, reveal samples of bacteria that were abundant in deep water areas of the ocean in a geologic time known as the Neoarchean Eon (2.8 to 2.5 billion years ago).
But even more surprising, say the Stanford scientists who report these findings in the May 25
issue of the journal Geology, is the critical role that rocks played in the evolution of the early atmosphere.
