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.

Arctic Warming Is Driving Siberian Wildfires

by Nathaniel Scharping 19 September 202419 September 2024

Increased temperatures and drought are leading to more wildfires. And wildfire smoke aerosols can suppress precipitation, drying out soils and further increasing fire risk.
