Hydrogen and methane provide raw energy for life at 'Lost City'

...esearch," said Bilal Haq, director of NSF's marine geology and geophysics program. "Lost City shows us that geological, chemical and biological processes are intimately linked at a primal environment, and lends strong support to the need for interdisciplinary approaches to scientific research." Other co-aut...

Study casts doubt on 'Snowball Earth' theory

... thinking. "They really try to synthesize between geology and biology. It was a new way to attack the problem." Corsetti agrees. "The climate of collaboration between geologists and biologists," he said, "is unusually good at USC ?it was this way of thinking that provided the impetus for the project in the...

Errors in the measurement of global warming corrected

...," said Steven C. Sherwood, associate professor of geology and geophysics at Yale, and lead author. "This has muddied the interpretation of reported warming." Most scientists have concluded the surface warming has partly resulted from a buildup of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The key to the error in ...

'Terror bird' arrived in North America before land bridge, study finds

... David Gradstaff, a professor and chairman of the geology department at Temple University, said the technique is timely and important. "If a fossil gets moved or reworked from its place of formation, it will have a fingerprint that is different from the others nearby," Grandstaff said. "Who knew that all ...

Researchers examine carbon capture and storage to combat global warming

...ess these risks, scientists are studying reservoir geology to better understand what happens after injecting carbon dioxide underground. ''You need to carefully select places that won't leak, and do a good job of engineering the injection systems and paying attention to where the carbon dioxide is actuall...
