  1. #Freshwater #lakes,like #Flughafensee #Berlin, play a complex #role in #globalwarming. Their #sediments are important #carbonsinks. However, they also release #CO2/#methane through microorganism activities. Furthermore, #lakeswarmup faster than surrounding air. L. Huang et al.(2024) address this and predict #shifts in #aquaticspecies #distributions and rearrangements of #freshwaterhabitats.

  2. RE: mastodon.social/@arstechnica/1

    Which #geochronological #method helps to determine the #age of #sediments as precisely as possible in order to reconstruct biotic, ecological, and #climatic relationships over the course of geological eras? R. T. Tucker et al. (2025) were able to precisely date the #eggshells of non-avian #dinosaurs using a novel LA-ICP-MS U-Pb #calcitedating method. This enabled them, for the first time, to date the Upper Cretaceous strata of the #GobiBasin (Mongolia) radioisotopically.

    [my engineering geology Masters thesis way-back-when on primarily paleoseismology utilised - in part - fault gouge quartz for empirical dating although I was using SEM pics to look at the quartz’s abrasion levels, interesting to see this advancement]

  4. Interbedded argillaceous & tuffaceous #sediments

    These photos are of #Cambridge #Argillite, exposed above the #Squantum Member of the #Roxbury Conglomerate (#Neoproterozoic). Prior to the 1970s or so, the Squantum Member was interpreted as #glacial sediments; it's now broadly interpreted as debris flows, with the Cambridge being distal turbidites overlying it. I lead a field trip here for #UMassBoston. See captions.
