30,000-Year-Old Vulture Feathers Discovered, Uniquely Preserved in Volcanic Ash
Fossilized feathers of a 30,000-year-old vulture, found in volcanic ash near Rome, have been analyzed, revealing a unique preservation process. Unlike typical fossilized feathers, these retained three-dimensional structures, likely due to zeolite minerals formed in the ash. Scientists believe the vulture was buried in a low-temperature pyroclastic ...

Massive Continent-Sized Blobs Deep in Earth’s Mantle May Be Over a Billion Years Old
Massive mantle formations, called LLSVPs, have been found to be over a billion years old. These structures, sitting 3,000 km beneath the surface, slow seismic waves, indicating unique physical and compositional properties. Their stability suggests they influence Earth's geological processes, including volcanic activity and tectonic movements. Scien...

Massive Water Reservoir Discovered Beneath Oregon Cascades, Twice the Size of Lake Mead
A large hidden aquifer, holding more than twice the water volume of Lake Mead, has been discovered beneath the Oregon Cascades. Scientists found the water, stored in volcanic rocks, has the potential to impact both water usage and volcanic activity. Researchers stress the need for further studies on how climate change could affect this reservoir, w...

Volcanic Activity in Yellowstone Is Shifting in the Northeast Direction, Study Finds
Recent findings reveal that volcanic activity within Yellowstone Caldera is shifting northeast. Using magnetotelluric surveys, geologists from the US Geological Survey, Oregon State University, and the University of Wisconsin-Madison identified several magma reservoirs at depths of 4 to 47 kilometers. The study found that the northeast region holds...

‘Chonkus’ Algae Found Off Italian Coast Holds Promise for Improve Climate Change Situation
The newly identified ‘Chonkus’ strain of cyanobacteria, discovered in Italy's volcanic waters, may be a natural ally in carbon sequestration. With its CO₂-absorbing properties and ability to thrive in extreme environments, Chonkus shows promise in industrial carbon storage and bio-manufacturing, potentially lowering costs while contributing t...
