The American Clean Energy Resources Trust (ACERT) is promoting the "multiple benefits of clean, affordable nuclear energy and the consequent need for continued domestic uranium exploration, mining and processing." [right, unnamed reclaimed uranium mine site from the ACERT site]The [...]
The AZ Dept. of Water Resources new Water Development Commission is intended to address the state's "abandonment of rural Arizona, when it comes to unmet water demand" says Verde Independent writer Steve Ayers in a story published today.Steve writes that the newly formed commission [...]
The UA-run Phoenix Mars Lander found evidence that the isotopic composition of atmospheric carbon dioxide is "pointing to an atmosphere rejuvenated by volcanic outpourings, possibly up to the very recent geologic past..." and "the atmosphere may have been chemically interacting with [...]
A trio of stories prompted thoughts about the influence of politics and corporate interests on science and scientists. Science separated from politics, or science separated from financial interests – interesting concepts, but I’ve always assumed that any firewalls surrounding science are [...]
Sept. 9, 1823 - April 30, 1891 From The Academy of Natural Sciences:Leidy is known as the "Father of American Vertebrate Paleontology". He described the first relatively complete dinosaur skeleton, Hadrosaurus, and introduced many American and European scientists to the fossil riches of [...]
The other day, Chris Rowan of Highly Allochthonous posted some pictures (and video!) of the Teton Range in Wyoming, a normal fault-bounded block of rock that has rotated along a north-south axis, with the west side dropping down and the east side rising up relative to the floor of Jackson Hole. [...]
Yes, this video shows geoscientists screwing on Oregon’s largest glacier. Take a look – the footage is about three minutes into the video. Screwing holes into ice with a handheld drill might look low-tech, but it helps scientists monitor how fast Collier Glacier is retreating up its [...]
Wie verpackt Wissenschaftsthemen in einer Comedy-Show? Wie baut man den perfekten Wissenschaftsbeitrag fürs TV? Und wie bindet man Grafiken in einem Fernsehbeitrag ein? Um diese und andere Fragen geht es in dem nächsten Weiterbildungsseminar der Initiative Wissenschaftsjournalismus. Das Seminar [...]

Breve post che informa gli interessati su alcuni test effettuati con Megamatrice sulla plausibilità di ipotesi "eterodosse". Gli spunti derivano da Ville Sinkkonen e Mickey Mortimer.
Ricordate "Magnoviraptorosauria"? Bene, l'ipotesi colà definita risultò statisticamente improbabile. Tuttavia, [...]
El amigo aqui ilustrado es uno de mis marginocéfalos favoritos: Pachyrhinosaurus canadensis. Si, he dicho "marginocéfalo". Este término es quizás poco conocido por el público en general. Todos hemos oído hablar alguna vez de "ceratopsios", los dinosaurios con cuernos y [...]
Day 2 has been filled with safety demos and scientific presentations. I was reminded not to horseplay, how to read an MSDS, and how to wear a "gumby suit" which is a very warm floatable suit that will help me survive if the boat sinks! The lead scientist led us [...]
Detail of an island from the Latvian Reef, with coral by Dagnija Griezne. Photo by the IFF. From the Hyperoblic Reef Website.One of the great things about being "the starfish guy" is that people come to you with starfish questions that they don't think anyone else can answer. For the [...]
Un pequeño extracto de "We're back! A Dinosaur's story" ("Rex, un dinosaurio en Nueva York"), película de 1993 producida por Steven Spielberg. Si, del mismo año que Jurassic Park: pretendía ser una película para niños, mientras que JP estaba destinada a un público más [...]
A new article in the Journal of the Arizona-Nevada Academy of Science by a team of Arizona geologists including AZGS's Brian Gootee, has documented the existence of an "older, higher terrace" that supports the idea that "the lower Salt River originated by lake overflow from an [...]
In Italia è proprio cattiva scienza.Ritorno, molto controvoglia, sull'argomento degli allarmi sismici, quando ci sarebbe da dire cose molto più interessanti. Nel post precedente, pubblicato solo giovedì scorso, al riguardo avevo scritto: Non dico di silenziare o censurare le notizie, ma [...]

From the USGS CVO page on the deposit: The deposits of an exceptionally large debris avalanche extend from the base of Mount Shasta volcano northward across the floor of Shasta Valley in northern California. The debris-avalanche deposits underlie an area of about 675 square kilometers, and their [...]
