New research led by UMass Amherst into the life and times of a New England salt marsh fundamentally changes our understanding of how salt marshes acquire the sediment that keeps them viable.

The southern Cascadia forearc undergoes a three-stage tectonic evolution, each stage involving different combinations of tectonic drivers, that produce differences in the upper-plate deformation style. These drivers include subduction, the northward migration of the Mendocino triple junction (MTJ) and associated thickening and thinning related to the Mendocino Crustal Conveyor (MCC) effect, and the NNW translation of the Sierra Nevada-Great Valley (SNGV) block. We combine geodetic data, plate re...

Both global climate simulations and worldwide ocean temperature reconstructions indicate that the cooling in the tropics during the last cold period, w...

New model more accurately predicts how massive glaciers melt Statistical models of the topography of glacier beds will lead to more accurate predictions of heat flow and subsequent ice melt for decades to come By Lisa Ercolano / Published Feb 23, 2021 New research by a team that included a Johns Hopkins engineer promises to enable more accurate ice-flow predictions, helping scientists better forecast how melting glaciers will contribute to rising sea le...

Bond rating and has technology that puts faa to shame. they have digital pilot control or messaging across the country and north atlantic which we dont have yet and wont have for another eight years on a nationwide basis. they have -- they are putting in global satellite surveillance through an entity they created that 70% of the worlds earth surface doesnt have a radar. planes are just up there and they have to have huge buffer zones around them because the controllers dont know exactly where t...
