International Federation of Consulting Engineers (FIDIC) has announced significant upgrading of its output and rebranding of engineering, construction and infrastructure courses at its academy in Geneva.

07-07-2021 By Earth.com staff writer Diamonds contain trapped chemicals that provide clues to the composition of Earth’s atmosphere when they were formed. Volatiles like nitrogen, hydrogen, neon, and other carbon bearing species are light chemicals necessary for life. The chemicals develop deep in the Earth and come to the surface during volcanic eruptions. Not all planets are rich in these chemicals, so much of the search for extraterrestrial life is done by looking for volatiles.  In a recent study led by Dr. Michael Broadley, researchers looked at the co...

Ancient Diamonds Show Earth Was Primed For Life's Explosion At Least 2.7 Billion Years Ago Source: GOLDSCHMIDT CONFERENCE One of the 2.7 billion year-old diamonds used in this work Credit: Michael Broadley A unique study of ancient diamonds has shown that the basic chemical composition of the Earth's atmosphere which makes it suitable for life's explosion of diversity was laid down at least 2.7 billion years ago. Volatile gases conserved in diamonds found in ancient rocks were present in similar proportions to those found in today's mantle, which in turn indicates that there h...

Ancient diamonds show Earth was primed for life at least 2.7 billion years ago July 5, 2021, 11:02 pm Ancient diamonds show the Earth was primed for life at least 2.7 billion years ago (Michael Broadley/University of Lorraine) Ancient diamonds indicate that Earth was primed for life’s explosion at least 2.7 billion years ago, researchers have said. Volatile gases conserved in diamonds found in ancient rocks were present in similar proportions to those found in the Earth’s mantle – which lies between the planet’s core and crust. This indicates there has been no fundamental change in t...
