EAG Ambassadors at ICP13 in Sydney
[By Zeynep Erdem, Rehemat Bhatia & Eloise Littley] This year, three early career scientists were able to travel to Sydney for the 13th International Conference on Paleoceanography as Early Career Science Ambassadors thanks to support from EAG. In this short series of posts, Zeynep Erdem (Royal NIOZ), Rehemat Bhatia (University of Bristol) and Eloise Littley (University of St. Andrews) talk about the conference and their experiences in Sydney....

190Pt-186Os geochronometer reveals open system behaviour of 190Pt-4He isotope system
Platinum Group Minerals are typically dated using the 187Re-187Os and 190Pt-186Os isotope systems and more recently using the 190Pt-4He geochronometer…

Experimental evidence for fluid-induced melting in subduction zones
Although subduction zones are the main source of seismic and volcanic hazards on Earth, the causes of melting in volcanic arcs are still not fully understood. Recent models suggested that melting in the mantle wedge is not caused by hydrous fluids, but by...

Hadean protocrust reworking at the origin of the Archean Napier Complex (Antarctica)
The origin of the first continents is still poorly constrained due to the great scarcity of >3.7 Ga rocks. The Napier Complex (East Antarctica) hosts such rocks but the extreme metamorphic conditions....

Mobility of chromium in high temperature crustal and upper mantle fluids
Chromium is mobile in ultramafic magmas but its mobility in high temperature fluids has long been unclear. Studies of some chromium-rich ophiolites have suggested chromium mobility in upper mantle fluids. However....

Mercury reallocation in thawing subarctic
peatlands
Warming Arctic temperatures have led to permafrost thaw that threatens to release previously sequestered mercury (Hg) back into the environment. Mobilisation of Hg in permafrost waters is of concern…

Researchers find climate change increases risk of mercury contamination
[Phys.org] As global temperatures continue to rise, the thawing of permafrost in Arctic areas is being accelerated and mercury that has been trapped in the frozen ground is now being released in various forms into surrounding waterways, soil and air.
This press article is based on an article recently published in Geochemical Perspectives Letters.

Ancient rain gauge: New evidence links groundwater, climate changes in deep time
[Phys.org] Changes in groundwater millions of years ago created alternating layers of vivid yellow and brown in the mineral sphalerite, and those variations align with movements in Earth's orbit that impacted climate in the deep past, Penn State scientists found.

Glacial rivers absorb carbon faster than rainforests, scientists find
[The Guardian] In the turbid, frigid waters roaring from the glaciers of Canada’s high Arctic, researchers have made a surprising discovery: for decades, the northern rivers secretly pulled carbon dioxide from the atmosphere at a rate faster than the Amazon rainforest.

Dinosaur-Killing Meteorite Caused Acidification That Led to Mass Extinction
[Scientific American] Fossils from 66 million years ago have pointed to a potential link between mass extinction of marine life and ocean acidification. A study published by the National Academy of Sciences revealed how the collapse of marine species occurred...

NASA is Now Considering a Pluto Orbiter Mission
[Universe Today] NASA’s New Horizons mission taught us a lot about Pluto, the ice dwarf planet. But the spacecraft sped past Pluto so quickly, we only got high-resolution images of one side of the planet, the so-called “encounter side.”
