Compositional Anomalies Complicate Our Model of Mantle Convection

by Thorsten W. Becker 20 November 202420 November 2024

A new study expands on recent research which suggests that oceanic crust accumulates in the mid-mantle. The new seismological constraints advance our understanding of thermo-chemical planetary evolution.

Physics and Biology as Likely Stream Bedfellows

Eric Davidson, president-elect of AGU by Eric Davidson 18 November 202415 November 2024

Streambeds are key sites for removal of nutrients and other contaminants through microbial processes, but are limited by diffusion, which can now be modeled from streambed physical properties.

Clumped CO Isotopes – New Tracers for Atmospheric Chemistry

by Susan Trumbore 30 October 202430 October 2024

A new study reports the first measurements of 13C18O in atmospheric carbon monoxide (CO) and show their variations reflect chemical ‘aging’ consistent with predicted kinetic isotope effects.

Tracking a Disappearing Mantle Plume in Ancient Samoa

by Nathaniel Scharping 25 October 202426 November 2024

A thick portion of Earth’s crust may have capped the Samoan plume and suppressed volcanism for 30 million years, explaining a curious gap along the Samoan chain.

The Moon’s Tides Hint at a Melty Lunar Layer

Sarah Stanley, Science Writer by Sarah Stanley 30 September 202419 February 2025

New lunar gravity measurements support the idea that a partially molten mantle layer is sandwiched between the rest of the Moon’s mantle and its core.
