  1. 🌋🌊 Deep-sea researchers from the #Ocean Exploration Trust discovered a unique "yellow brick road" formation on the Liliʻuokalani Ridge.

    Located over 1,000 meters deep, the rectangular patterns are actually fractured hyaloclastite rock. The volcanic formation helps scientists understand the #marine #ecosystems within the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument.

  2. NASA’nın gözlem kameraları Rusya’nın kuzeyindeki volkanı iki farklı nitelikte gösteriyor: ateşle kar. İlginç bir doğa sahnesi, bilim meraklıları için mükemmel.

  4. Do you feel the ground move beneath your feet? Tonight we do. Join us Tuesday April 21 at 8pm as Professor Alan Kafka talks earthquakes in the Eastern US — why they happen and where they'll strike next.

  5. Not all giant icebergs, or "megabergs," release fertilizing nutrients into the ocean as they melt; their capacity to stimulate marine life and absorb atmospheric carbon varies drastically depending on their individual life cycles and histories.

  6. Our seismograph is still trembling from this morning's M7.4 off Japan — our USGS equipment captured every wave. Tsunami threat cancelled, but the ground is still shaking. Almost like the planet is putting on a show for our special guest! Earthquake expert Professor Alan Kafka joins us IN PERSON tomorrow, Tuesday April 21 at 8pm at Westport Observatory.

  7. What a day for our seismograph! The WAS seismometer picked up 4 significant earthquakes today — M5.9 & M5.4 Kermadec Islands, M5.8 Solomon Islands, M5.7 Sumatra. And Tuesday, one of the world's leading seismic specialists Professor Alan Kafka joins us in person at the Westport Observatory at 8pm to explain why the earth shakes — even here in New England.

  8. A vast, previously undetected reservoir containing approximately 6,000 cubic kilometers of magma has been discovered beneath the region of Tuscany. This subterranean body of volcanic fluid is situated at depths ranging from 8 to 15 kilometers within the continental crust.

    Another year as a volunteer judge for the DMRSEF, Senior Earth & Environmental - and with the added fun of three+ (3+) special awards to decide (thank you to the other volunteers on the team (including ‘mine’) and the sponsors/organisations in supporting developing scientists and engineers!)

    This is the 10th year for me, mentioned ONLY to indicate how fun & genuinely rewarding it can be, such truly amazing student entries – and to encourage you to volunteer to be a judge at one as well, the proverbial #payingitforward
