La presión del océano profundo tiene un aplastante impacto en el ciclo del carbono
La presión extrema que existe en el mar profundo reduce el apetito de los microorganismos por carbono orgánico. Este hallazgo podría tener implicaciones importantes en la geoingeniería y el balance de carbono global.
Hydrogen May Push Some Exoplanets off a Cliff
High-pressure reactions of hydrogen and iron could explain gaps in the distribution of exoplanets.
El hierro está en el centro de este debate de las ciencias de la Tierra
Un nuevo estudio investiga el estado del hierro en el interior del planeta. Los hallazgos tienen repercusiones para comprender la estructura del núcleo interno.
Iron Is at the Core of This Earth Science Debate
A new study investigates iron’s form at the planet’s interior. The findings have repercussions for understanding the inner core’s structure.
Deep-Sea Pressure Crushes Carbon Cycling
The extreme pressure in the deep sea stifles microbes’ appetite for organic carbon. This finding could have important implications for carbon budgets and geoengineering.
What is the Best Predictor of Landfalling Hurricane Damage?
A new study finds that the minimum sea level pressure, as another measure of hurricane strength, is a better predictor of hurricane damage in the United States than the maximum sustained wind speed.
Good News: Rocks Crack Under Pressure from Mineral CO2 Storage
When carbon mineralizes in stone, each new fracture exposes more surfaces that can react with and trap CO2, enhancing a rock’s storage capacity.
Etna Under Pressure: Does Gas Buildup Foreshadow Eruption?
Pressure from both magma and gas can trigger eruptions. Monitoring degassing can help predict eruptions but only if the magma system is well understood first.
El Monte Everest a veces puede sentirse más bajo que el K2
Las variaciones de la presión atmosférica en la cima del Everest afectan a la disponibilidad de oxígeno, modificando la percepción de la elevación de la cumbre unos cientos de metros.
