A team of researchers began their journey around frigid Patagonia, moving through water channels to reach the fjords, surrounded by ice and snow. They withstood freezing temperatures throughout their ...

The delineation of sediment facies provides essential background information for a broad range of investigations in geosciences but is often constrained in quality or quantity. Here we leverage ...

Marine scientist Matthew Costa is used to digging into research—literally. Over the course of his PhD program at UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography, Costa frequently muddied his hands ...

For two months, a team of researchers from ten countries lived and worked in a remote field camp in West Antarctica. Their efforts have culminated in the recovery of a remarkable record of past ...

Dr. Trisha Spanbauer is an assistant professor in the Department of Environmental Sciences. She analyzed sediment cores taken from lakes across North America in a research article she co-authored in ...

Drilling thousands of feet down through a giant layer of ice wasn't an easy task, but that's what the army liked about it. Grabbing ice cores for scientists to study served as a perfect cover for ...

This story is from The Pulse, a weekly health and science podcast. Before dawn on a windy day, two dozen climate scientists shiver on the top deck of a research ship, watching as tugboats pull them ...

The sun is shining, and air feels surprisingly warm when we walk on a 35cm ice that covers a frozen lake in central Finland. The heavy sledges move nicely, because there is not much snow on the ice ...

Lacustrine turbidites offer a reliable record of seismic activity. A typical sedimentary sequence is produced when a turbidity current moves downslope. If the current generates enough energy, this ...
