Rocks in Chile help scientists hunt for life on Mars
Investigating oxalate minerals in the Atacama Desert provides a terrestrial analogue to test techniques that could be used to study the carbon cycle in the cold deserts of Mars, according to a new study in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences.
Cold temperatures set off slow-moving landslides
Falling ground temperatures in the cold season are found to trigger shallow, slow-moving landslides on slopes with clayey soil, according to new research in Geophysical Research Letters.
What happens to methane that leaks from abandoned wells?
Three-dimensional simulations reported in a new study in Water Resources Research suggest some aquifers may be more vulnerable to contamination from leaky oil wells than others.
