Anomaly in Deep Sea Sediments May Serve as Geological Time Marker
Berlin, Germany (SPX) Feb 12, 2025 Beryllium-10, a rare radioactive isotope formed by cosmic rays in the atmosphere, is providing new insights into Earth's geological past. A research team from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR), in collaboration with TUD Dresden University of Technology and the Australian National University (ANU), has identified an unexpected concentration of this isotope in deep-sea samples from the Pacific Ocean. This anomaly, dating back approximately 10 million years, may have resulted from shifts in o ... read more |

Carbon dioxide release from deep magma may have driven Earth's ancient climate shifts
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Oct 31, 2024 An international team of geoscientists, led by Rutgers University-New Brunswick, has revealed that ancient volcanic regions continued emitting carbon dioxide (CO2) from Earth's deep magma long after surface eruptions ceased, providing insight into the causes of prolonged warming phases in Earth's climatic history. Published in 'Nature Geoscience', this research highlights how such emissions impacted past climate stability. "Our findings are important because they identify a hidden source of CO2 to ... read more
