Videos de Twitter y YouTube ayudaron a los científicos a descubrir los mecanismos físicos que generaron el gran tsunami en Palu Bay después de un terremoto de magnitud 7.5.Read More »Geology & Geophysics
Classic interpretation of aeromagnetic anomaly maps involves several steps with limiting boundary conditions; a recent study develops convolutional networks largely bypassing these issues.Read More »Geology & Geophysics
Various unmixing approaches are used in environmental magnetism, each starting from a different premise; now they are put to the test by scrutinizing experimental mixtures of known endmembers.Read More »Climate Change
Rock sliding experiments on meter scales show groove patterns which are controlled by normal stress. This may help better understand earthquake source conditions from exhumed faults. Read More »Geology & Geophysics
Rocks stretch, break, and flow, depending on how and under which conditions they are loaded. A new formulation to better capture Earth’s rheology is explored in the context of plate thickness.Read More »Biogeosciences
Levels of dissolved trace and heavy metals, which can be toxic, are highly variable across the river basin, concentrating in urban areas with high pollution but diluted by inflow from tributaries.Read More »Geochemistry, Mineralogy, Volcanology
Impact and turbulence models for river tremor are adapted and combined into a model that predicts the amplitude and frequency content of volcanic eruption tremor.Read More »
