The tiniest of fossils hold a lot of information for scientists to use to recreate past climates. Katherine Freeman, Evan Pugh University Professor of Geosciences at Penn State, will discuss the molecular signatures of ancient climates at 11:15 a.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 17.
A method to detect long-term movements of these mountains using satellite images could help identify previously overlooked instability at some volcanoes, according to Penn State scientists.
The Earth System Science Center has announced the lineup for its spring 2021 Climate Dynamics seminar series.
Sridhar Anandakrishnan, professor of geosciences at Penn State, will give an overview of Thwaites Glacier and discuss the prospects for sea-level rise from this and similar glaciers at 11:15 a.m. Wednesday, Jan. 27.
Jesse Reimink remembers the first time someone planted the Earth science seed that for him blossomed into a career in the geosciences.
Fossil leaf assemblages from Patagonia, Argentina, suggest that vegetation in South America suffered great losses following an astroid impact but rebounded quickly.
A team of geoscientists thinks the key to understanding some destructive earthquakes may lie in the deep, gradual slow-slip behaviors beneath the subduction zones.
Leaking natural gas wells are considered a potential source of methane emissions, and a new nanomaterial cement mixture could provide an effective, affordable solution for sealing these wells, according to a team of Penn State scientists.
Geoscientists have long known that some parts of the continents formed in the Earth’s deep past, but the speed in which land rose above global seas — and the exact shapes that land masses formed — have so far eluded experts.
Jacob Hidrowoh didn’t plan on his career journey turning out the way it did. A young man from Quito, Ecuador, Hidrowoh came to Penn State in 2014 on a national Ecuadorian scholarship to study Earth science and policy, a new major at the time.
