|  | 1389/06/07 | | Afghanistan: Mining Capital of the World? | Afghanistan has been crushed under the heel of war for the best part of two decades. Before the Russians, Taliban and US-led coalition brought their tanks and guns, the Afghans were above Sri Lanka, Jamaica and Iceland, sitting at 72nd place in the world GDP list. Now they're sandwiched in between Congo and Nepal in 121st place.
Although the war shows no signs of abating - there are now more US troops in Afghanistan than there are in Iraq – the Americans have at last delivered the Afghans s.....[ More] | |
|  | 1389/06/07 | | Making an Explosive Double Date With Russian Volcanoes | ScienceDaily--Two French scientists are travelling to one of the remotest places on Earth, the Kamchatka peninsula, to piece together the complex life story of two volcanoes.
Kamchatka is one of the most volcanically active places on Earth. It is part of the Ring of Fire -- intermittent chains of volcanoes that encircle the Pacific Ocean. Over at least the last 6 million years, Kamchatka has experienced more explosive eruptions than any place on Earth. Historically, the level of activity has ma.....[ More] | |
|  | 1389/06/07 | | Sea Level to Rise Even With Aggressive Geo-Engineering and Greenhouse Gas Control, Study Finds | ScienceDaily-- New findings by international research group of scientists from England, China and Denmark just published suggest that sea level will likely be 30-70 centimetres higher by 2100 than at the start of the century even if all but the most aggressive geo-engineering schemes are undertaken to mitigate the effects of global warming and greenhouse gas emissions are stringently controlled.
"Rising sea levels caused by global warming are likely to affect around 150 million people living .....[ More] | |
|  | 1389/06/07 | | Surfing for Earthquakes | ScienceDaily-- A better understanding of the ground beneath our feet will result from research by seismologists and Rapid -- a group of computer scientists at the University of Edinburgh. The Earth's structure controls how earthquakes travel and the damage they can cause. A clear picture of this structure would be extremely valuable to earthquake planners, but it requires the analysis of huge amounts of data. The Rapid team developed a system that performs the seismologists' data-crunching, and.....[ More] | |
|  | 1389/06/07 | | Crisis Turns Skills to Gold | Few industries had quite as much to lose from the global financial crisis as the mining sector. The drying up of demand for key commodities and resulting price freefalls led to one of the heaviest waves of redundancies the industry has ever seen. Reluctance to fund exploration and new projects has led to even further cuts.
Currently, there are about 15,000 applicants for 3,000 positions throughout the mining sector globally. Naturally candidates' expectations for salaries and other benefits .....[ More] | |
|  | 1389/06/06 | | Shrinking Atmospheric Layer Linked to Low Levels of Solar Radiation | ScienceDaily-- Large changes in the sun's energy output may drive unexpectedly dramatic fluctuations in Earth's outer atmosphere.
Results of a new study link a recent, temporary shrinking of a high atmospheric layer with a sharp drop in the sun's ultraviolet radiation levels.
The research, led by scientists at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, Colo., and the University of Colorado at Boulder (CU), indicates that the sun's magnetic cycle, which produces differing.....[ More] | |
|  | 1389/06/02 | | Big Quakes More Frequent Than Thought on San Andreas Fault, Research Shows | ScienceDaily-- Earthquakes have rocked the powerful San Andreas fault that splits California far more often than previously thought, according to UC Irvine and Arizona State University researchers who have charted temblors there stretching back 700 years.
The findings, to be published in the Sept. 1 issue of Geology, conclude that large ruptures have occurred on the Carrizo Plain portion of the fault -- about 100 miles northwest of Los Angeles -- as often as every 45 to 144 years. But the last .....[ More] | |
|  | 1389/06/02 | | Ancient Microbes Responsible for Breathing Life Into Ocean 'Deserts' | ScienceDaily-- More than two and a half billion years ago, Earth differed greatly from our modern environment, specifically in respect to the composition of gases in the atmosphere and the nature of the life forms inhabiting its surface. While today's atmosphere consists of about 21 percent oxygen, the ancient atmosphere contained almost no oxygen. Life was limited to unicellular organisms. The complex eukaryotic life we are familiar with -- animals, including humans -- was not possible in an en.....[ More] | |
