HUMAN ACTIVITY IS CAUSING TOXIC THALLIUM TO ENTER THE BALTIC SEA Human activities account for a substantial amount — anywhere from 20% to more than 60% — of toxic thallium that has entered the Baltic Sea over the past 80 years, according to new research by scientists affiliated with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) and other institutions. https://lnkd.in/enJbFX2t

The isotopic composition of carbon in iron formations from the Saglek-Hebron Complex in Nunatsiavut (northern Labrador) has been seen as evidence of the earliest traces of life on Earth.

Through extensive research, they successfully demonstrated the impact of these gases on the degradation of the atmospheric layer and their associated adverse effects. This foundational work has paved the way for numerous research and development initiatives aimed at controlling and effectively maintaining ozone concentrations. Our current focus is on the management and reduction of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are key contributors to ozone formation and, consequently, smog pollution. Despite varying perspectives on the substance, our objective remains consistent: mitigating its environmental impact.

New evidence of nitrogen fixation supports models of prebiotic chemistry in which volcanic lightning plays a crucial role in synthesising nitrogen for essential prebiotic reactions.

Dear all,   Just a reminder that we are looking for 13 doctoral candidates in the context of the new Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action - Doctoral Network #INITIATE dedicated to #Climate - Tectonics interactions using #BigData and #Numericalmodels.

It also includes 13 partners from the academic world (Université Paul Sabatier Toulouse III, IFP Energies nouvelles, University of Athens), the public sector (Institut of Cartography of Catalogna, UNESCO Geoparc Orígens, The Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate), the energy industry (TotalEnergies, Repsol, Aker BP ASA,Equinor, Vulcan Energy Resources) and satellite data (GAF AG, DELPHI IMM GmbH).    See https://lnkd.in/dt5D3KYK for information about the positions and how to apply.    Two of these 13 PhD have been awarded to Prof. Josep Anton Muñoz at Dept. de Dinàmica de la Terra i de l'Oceà at the Facultat de Ciències de la Terra UB DC8- Response of the Andean foreland fold and thrust belt to spatial and temporal variations of climate and structural inheritance Barcelona University – Supervision: Josep Anton Muñoz (jamunoz@ub.edu)    DC10- Contractional deformation of salt bearing rifted margins: the Western Pyrenees-Cantabrian foreland basin systems and the geological storage potential Barcelona University – Supervision: Josep Anton Muñoz (jamunoz@ub.edu)  

EU Research Magazine (https://lnkd.in/epBYp26z) in its recent spring 2024 issue (page 36) has published an article about nICE project. A direct link for this article is:  https://lnkd.in/di9xRHBM nICE project is focused on issues related to icing and cold climate and is funded by the Norwegian Research Council (FRIPRO/ Large Scale Inter-disciplinary Project) with total funding of 27.5 mNOK. This 04 years (2022-2026) project is coordinated and managed by Professor Muhammad Virk from arcICE group (https://lnkd.in/d-rh6WsC) of UiT. The project involves researchers from 06 departments, 03 research centers and 10 research groups of UiT- The Arctic University of Norway. The nICE consortium consists of multidisciplinary researchers, who are contributing to develop new knowledge and innovative technological solutions about atmospheric icing.

Dear community, I'm so happy to announce that our new recently published research paper is now available online in the Journal of Maritime Research.This paper demonstrates a review of the world's experience with using #AUV to solve such tasks. Also, it considers the possibility of using AUV for exploration of the MRC and escorting their extraction in the water areas of the #Russian_Federation by using methods of #system_analysis and a #mathematical_model. The results show that in Russia there is a shortage of specialists in the development and creation of both AUV and AUV, as well as control systems. However, it should be considered that bringing Russian research to an advanced level of development in the fields of ocean research and the exploration of #mineral_resources requires a significant increase in funding. Besides, the development and establishment of AUV in Russia for the resolution of MRC problems is a pressing issue that must be addressed. https://lnkd.in/ea5ZzdPp

How Baltoscandian oxygenation contributed to the formation of sedimentary rocks rich in minerals that can influence oxygen production processes at a depth of four thousand meters Context: This article by Anders Lindskog and colleagues explores the relationship between oxygenation of the Baltoscandian platform and biological diversification during the Orthovician, a crusial period for the history of life on Earth. Methodology: Carbon and sulphur isotope analysis, as well as other techniques, were used to analyze changes in oxygen levels in seawater. Another bias of the study was the distribution of fossils and the study of rock layers to correlate geochemical data with local diversity. Research: In a general analysis, this study found evidence of an increase in the oxygenation of the Baltoscandian shelf, which would have allowed complex and varied marine environments to develop there and contributed to the formation of sedimentary rocks rich in minerals that can influence oxygen generation processes. #Environment #Biodiversity #Sustainability #ClimateAction #EcoFriendly #Conservation #GreenPlanet #WildlifeProtection #NatureConservation #EnvironmentalProtection #EcoConscious source of information: https://lnkd.in/dYAY_8KN CC BY 4.0 (Attribution 4.0 International) https://lnkd.in/dbNNfu98
