Around 63 Ma ago, during the Palaeocene Epoch, major igneous activity broke out in what are now both sides of the North Atlantic Ocean. After initial sputtering it culminated massively between 57 and 53 Ma. [...]
You recall earlier this year when we had a cold May and June, that Arctic ice volume crossed lanes and went back quite a few years. This was quite consistent with my ocean current hypothesis and my [...]
Tartu, Estonia — Bill Ausich and I started our last full day in this city at the University of Tartu Natural History Museum, finishing our work with the marvelous Mare Isakar, pictured above. Mare quickly [...]
Der Ätna auf Sizilien steigerte seine Aktivität in den letzten Tagen leicht. Der Vulkan eruptiert immer wieder kleine Aschewolken. Die Aktiven Schlote liegen im Nordostkrater und im Neuen Südostkrater. Dort [...]
This post is the sequel to "Natural Histories of Dinos" ( http://blogevolved.blogspot.com/2017/08/natural-histories-of-dinos.html ). It's nothing formal, just a list of what I (as a non-expert dino fan) think [...]
These images are of a 900 million year old stromatolite fossil from Atar rock formation of Mauritania, Africa. This fossil is from the low oxygen atmosphere Precambrian Period. Stromatolites are mats of [...]
Even under the most charitable climate scenario where emissions are restricted across the globe, ER visits for hyperthermia in the United States could still increase by 21,000 by 2050, costing up to $38 [...]
Ladakh's glaciers are retreating, causing floods and threatening livelihoods. But a recent study reveals that disaster risk reduction is often slow or absent due to its status as a conflict and military-tense [...]
Let’s say you had a critter with weird neural canals and super-deeply-dished-in centrum-ends, and you wanted to digitally rearticulate the vertebrae and reconstruct the spinal cord and intervertebral [...]
Die Wettersituation scheint sich in den nächsten 24 Stunden zu ändern und es besteht eine akute Tornadogefahr für den Nordwesten Deutschlands. Selbst wenn keine Tornados generiert werden sollten, drohen [...]

One does not usually equate the city of Modesto with dams and reservoirs. It's true there is a Modesto Reservoir, but it is fifteen miles east of the city. But there is a dam in the city limits, and it has [...]
Wow, this month I can't gloat over at the Gaurdian (sic). The global temps have zoomed up to trend, even though that trend is below that extrapolated for carbon warming. But enough about that, this was a [...]
