Potential photochemical controls on trace metals and rare earth elements in an acid mine drainage impacted wetland - Biogeochemistry Recent climate trends in the Colorado Mineral Belt have intensified acid mine drainage (AMD) impacts, increasing the importance to understand trace metal and rare earth element (REE) cycling in affect...

New paper! 🎉 Abandoned mines aren't just leaching trace metals, they're also releasing REEs with systematic diel cycling. Our wetland study revealed distinct light-driven patterns for different REEs. Understanding these processes matters for both ecological risk assessment & remediation planning. 🧪⚒️

His research reveals a “bottom-up” cycle where deep-sea sediments release trace metals like #Neodymium back into ocean waters, reshaping our understanding of #OceanChemistry.

Approximately 50 ears of corn lined up next to each other on a green background. The corn is multicolored, with some ears entirely red, others white with purple kernels, and a few that are more yellow or with red striped kernels. The majority of ears have white kernels.

Responses to artificial selection for kernel color in a very multicolored maize population after just one generation!

We selected for white kernels (left) & red kernels (right) in separate fields. The ears in each photo are a random subset of the those produced in each field.

This is powerfully correct. How can scientists expect to discover new science if we continue bathing in the tepid water of the well-established? Question everything, venture everywhere with wide-open eyes, dare, observe, hypothesize, experiment & discover. It's your role in life. Do it. 🧪👊❤️

Saturn's moon Titan, as seen via data collected by the Cassini spacecraft, showing a green hazy atmosphere and the shapes of land masses and liquid bodies on the surface.

Despite its alien chemistry, planetary scientists expected to find one familiar landform on Titan: river deltas — triangular sediment deposits that form where rivers meet standing bodies of liquid. 🧪 🔭

This is figure 2, which shows the trends in drought magnitude and frequency for 6-month SPEI during 1981–2022.

A paper in Nature reports an increasing trend in drought severity between 1901 and 2022. A driver called atmospheric evaporative demand is likely to have increased global drought severity by an average of 40% globally since 1981. go.nature.com/4kqjriq ⚒️ 🧪

This is figure 2, which shows the desiccation of the Aral Sea.

The irrigation-induced drying out of the Aral Sea has caused rock deep in the mantle beneath the former lake to uplift and flow like a viscous liquid, at rates of a few millimetres per year, according to a study published in Nature Geoscience. https://go.nature.com/4j5Xchk 🧪 ⚒️

Red colored line graph time series of global atmospheric methane abundance from January 1984 through November 2024. Methane abundance is measured in units of parts per billion. Current levels are 1941 ppb. A seasonal cycle is visible on the graph. There is also decadal variability and a long-term increasing trend.

Methane (CH₄) is a potent greenhouse gas. Here are the latest monthly observations... 🧪⚒️

November 2024 - 1940.75 ppb

Travelling Through India on the Himsagar Express This was not a luxury train, but even here, as in Indian society as a whole, the distinctions between the haves and the have-nots were clear.

The idea of a new India is aggressively promoted in the country and abroad. In what ways has India changed?

El Metro CDMX suspendió el servicio y desalojó a pasajeros en 872 ocasiones en 2024, por fallas en el sistema

🚇#HoyEnAnimal | Pese a que autoridades aseguran que el Metro de la CDMX recibe mantenimiento preventivo, durante el 2024 el servicio fue suspendido en 872 ocasiones debido a fallas en el sistema.

Las líneas A y 3 son las que más presentaron problemáticas, según datos de transparencia.

Heatwaves, (in synergy with, e.g., droughts), are extreme short-lived phenomena that can trigger significant ecological changes (massive tree mortality, regeneration failure, wildfires, etc.), and need to be better addressed into models to more accurately anticipate their ecological consequences. 🧪🌍

Trump acaba de decir que nos va a cobrar 25% de aranceles (a Méx y a Canadá) ¿y qué dijo hoy la muy ingenua (por decir algo) de @Claudiashein? Que está “lista” para con datos y evidencia va a convencerlo.
¿Cuándo a Trump le han importado los datos y evidencia? Estamos jodidos. 🤡
