Eruptive Event Caught Red-Handed Researchers know that, in general, mid-ocean ridges are the site of periodic eruptive events that create new seafloor. At the East Pacific Rise, determining the seismic characteristics that lead up to eruptions could help researchers predict when and where along the trench future events are likely to occur.   |

We're Toast Last summer, U.S. wildfires cost $1.6 billion to stop and claimed the lives of 23 firefighters. The expense and sacrifice did nothing to solve the problems of overgrown forests, misguided policies, and misspent resources. We need to get serious about rethinking the role of flame in the woods. |

Volcanic Prepping for Dinosaur Extinction Many scientists accept that an impact on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula is to blame for the dinosaurs' demise. But as more research is conducted on a lava flow in India, some geologists grow more convinced that the environment was already significantly perturbed when that projectile struck, and that the impact was simply a final straw. |
