Today’s search for Earth-like planets is driven by our desire to understand our place in the universe and to answer the age-old question: Are we alone? We asked five scientists from different fields of study at Carnegie Science's Earth and Planets Laboratory to share their answers. https://lnkd.in/g5iuUWfZ

📢 New Publication Alert! 📚✨ We are thrilled to announce the publication of our latest article in Springer Nature's Journal of Terrestrial, Atmospheric, and Oceanic Sciences. Following our study on the raindrop size distribution characteristics during the Southwest Monsoon, as showcased in our previous paper published in the Philippine Journal of Science, this new article sheds light on how the microphysical properties of raindrops impact the accuracy of radar rainfall retrievals. Key highlight: Rainfall retrieval equations have been successfully derived based on raindrop size measurements in Metro Manila. Evaluation of these equations reveals that dual-polarimetric variables can offer more reliable rainfall estimates. Read the full Article: https://lnkd.in/dYpY6Jaq

Today is World Earth Day! I am a member of the Earth Sciences society since 2006. The progress is somehow slow like the Earth’s evolution but slow progress is still progress. Listening to the advice from legends lights the way to a brighter future. Recently, I had the privilege to visit Prof. Dr. William McDonough who broadens our knowledge of the composition, structure and evolution of the Earth.

Please join us tomorrow for a presentation by Anthony Acciavatti, Diana Balmori Assistant Professor, Yale University, titled "Groundwater Earth: The World Before and After the Tubewell." Tuesday, April 2 | 6:30 - 7:30 ET Piper Auditorium, Gund Hall | In Person (open to all) This lecture traces the preposterous, practical, and perilous experiments with groundwater. It focuses on the Indo-Gangetic plains and Sonoran Desert—two major sites of experimentation with groundwater extraction since the nineteenth century. Combining over a decade of fieldwork in the Americas and Asia, with archival research undertaken in three continents and vast amounts of data collected using remote sensing satellites, Groundwater Earth examines the scales and slow-motion impacts of groundwater extraction on the tilt of the earth to the shape of cities and farms. Please RSVP here: https://lnkd.in/gdVZwVeE

NEW PAPER: https://buff.ly/4eqaFhJ A new paper published in The Planetary Science Journal lays out results from laboratory spectral characterization of the Ribbeck meteorite, discovered in Germany earlier this year, in the UV–mid-infrared wavelengths (0.2–14.2 μm) over seven grain-size bins (<45 μm–slab). The results suggest that the meteorite is consistent with enstatite achondrite (aubrite) meteorites.

Alfred Wegener's theory crumbled under the weight of evidence! The daring continental researcher laid the foundations for understanding Earth's history, proposing the idea of the massive supercontinent called "Pangaea." Despite its rejection in his time, confirmatory evidence of continental drift emerged. Thus, he is considered the father of the modern theory of plate tectonics. Thanks to Wegener, our understanding of Earth's formation has transformed!

New Year...new paper. A co-authored collaborative effort with colleagues from the University of Trieste, the Research Council of Italy and the Croatian Geological Survey. We applied a novel approach to document rocky coastal change and boulder transport in the Adriatic Sea. Amongst other findings, the method proved to offer a much greater level of detail (and interpretation) when compared with more widely available earth observation platforms. https://lnkd.in/eCUZWJa5

I want to publish a paper in a junk journal called "Plate Tectonics within a Flat Earth Theory: In this exploratory study, we delve into the framework of plate tectonics within the context of a Flat Earth theory, presenting a novel perspective on traditional geoscientific concepts. This paper aims to bridge the chasm between established geological paradigms and the Flat Earth model, offering a unique, albeit fictional, viewpoint on Earth's geological dynamics."

Planetary nebula, which are actually the remains of stars and not planets, are some of nature's most stunning visual displays. Universe Today highlights the research led by RIT College of Science professor Joel Kastner on the Southern Ring Nebula's dual-ring formation and the possible role of a second star. https://brnw.ch/21wJXEa
