Core samples pulled from beneath ice sheet suggests region is highly sensitive to the temperatures of our current ...

Analysis of core samples extracted from beneath an ice sheet indicates that the region is extremely responsive to the temperatures characteristic of today’s interglacial period. Researchers involved ...

A team of scientists, engineers, and ship's crew on the research vessel Neil Armstrong operated by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) recently collected a 38-foot-long cylindrical ...

Marine scientist Matthew Costa is used to digging into research—literally. Over the course of his PhD program at UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography, Costa frequently muddied his hands ...

This story originally appeared on Atlas Obscura and is part of the Climate Desk collaboration. Andrew Christ remembers the day he became part of “this 60-year, weird, wild Cold War story.” It was 2019 ...

Lacustrine turbidites offer a reliable record of seismic activity. A typical sedimentary sequence is produced when a turbidity current moves downslope. If the current generates enough energy, this ...

Elizabeth Thomas, UB assistant professor of geology, holds a sediment core -- a cylindrical sample of lakebed mud. Such samples contain organic matter that can be analyzed to learn about a region's ...

Since the discovery 50 years ago of subglacial lakes in Antarctica—some of the least accessible geological features on Earth—scientists have attempted to extract lake bed sediment to learn about the ...

When an earthquake causes a landslide, debris flow, or erosion, it can change the makeup of nearby lakes by introducing larger sediment particles, causing faster sediment buildup, and affecting carbon ...
