Big Quakes Trigger Small Quakes
Seismologists found that
L-waves, slow-moving seismic
surface waves, from larger
earthquakes can trigger
smaller earthquakes as they
travel through the ground.
Different from aftershocks

Tracking CO2
Biogeochemists located where
the most carbon dioxide
emissions occur in the U.S.
using a new mapping system.
With this program-available
to anyone on the
Web-researchers were able to
extract information about

Preparing For A Walk On The Moon
Astrophysicists found that
the moon's surface becomes
electrified during each full
moon. The moon passes
through the Earth's
magnetotail, a cone of
highly-charged particles,

Predicting When Tornadoes Will Strike
Meteorologists found
connections between the sea
surface temperature in the
tropical Pacific Ocean and
the occurrence of tornadoes
in unlikely parts of the
North American continent.

Geophysicists Show That Crust Temperature Variation Explains Half Of Elevation Differences In North America
Geophysicists determined that tectonic mountain-building processes are not the only factor that determines elevation in North America. The temperature of the crust affects its density, and lower ... > more -
Engineers Use Mine Roof Simulator To Increase Mine Safety
Industrial hygienists, applying geology and engineering, can test mine support systems with the only mine roof simulator of its kind. Using up to 3 million pounds of vertical force and 1.6 million ... > more -
Meteorologists Find That Increased Ocean Temperatures Cause Increasingly Intense Hurricanes
Climate change experts studying hurricanes documented a 35-year warming trend in ocean surface temperature and linked it to larger hurricanes. The increase has been 1 degree Fahrenheit, resulting in ... > more -
Seismologists Devise New Technique To Measure Pollution
