Towering structures must be able to bend and sway when subjected to the forces of wind and ground movement, or they will topple, whether it’s a building, a geological formation, tree—or even a cactus.

New research led by U geoscientist shows O₂ in sulfate deposits, coupled with geochemical clues, could help identify microbial activity in Earth’s rock record and even in Martian sediments

In mid-September of this year, even before thunderstorms over the Pacific Ocean began to significantly build, experimental forecasts at the U.S. National Science Foundation National Center for Atmospheric Research (NSF NCAR) showed the emerging weather system intensifying into Super Typhoon Ragasa. With 165-mile-per-hour winds it was the most powerful storm on Earth so far this year.

Thallium isotopes show O2 levels rose and fell at the ocean floor long after marine animals appeared and diversified half billion years ago, according to study of ancient marine sediments exposed by river cuts in Canada's Yukon

Geoscientist's analysis of carbon and oxygen isotopes documents profound human-driven changes arising from agriculture and rail causeway.
