Ocean dust identifies oldest ice near South America dating back 1.5 million years
Benthic foraminiferal oxygen isotopes and marine and ice dust records from ODP site 1090, IODP site U1537, Dome Fuji (DF), and Epica Dome C (EDC). Dating back up to 2 million years. Climate cycles are indicated by dominant patterns of 40,000-year, 100,000-year, and irregular mid-Pleistocene transitions (MPTs). Credit: Past Climate (2024). DOI: 10.5194/cp-20-1437-2024 Earth’s climate has experienced significant changes over…

Study identifies superionic iron hydride as key to ultra-low velocity zone at the boundary between Earth’s core and mantle
Mean square displacements (MSD) of Fe and H atoms in fcc-FeH at different temperatures and volumes from NVT-FPMD simulations. The core-mantle boundary (CMB) is a key boundary within the Earth, marking the boundary between the outer core and the lower mantle. Over the past two decades, seismological studies have identified anomalously low-velocity regions above the CMB, such as the Large-Scale…
