The Gulf of Mexico holds huge untapped offshore oil deposits that could help power the U.S. for decades. The energy super basin’s longevity, whose giant offshore fields have reliably supplied consumers with oil and gas since the 1960s, is the result of a remarkable geologic past – a story that began 200 million years ago… Continue Reading Researchers Trace Geologic Origins of Gulf of Mexico ‘Super Basin’ Success
Greenland ‘Knickpoints’ Could Stall Spread of Glacial Thinning
The jagged terrain of Greenland’s mountains is protecting some of the island’s outlet glaciers from warm coastal waters, according to a team of researchers that included scientists from The University of Texas at Austin and NASA. Outlet glaciers protrude from the ice sheet into the sea, where surging ocean heat can speed up the loss… Continue Reading Greenland ‘Knickpoints’ Could Stall Spread of Glacial Thinning

Researchers Model Source of Eruption on Jupiter’s Moon Europa
A new model shows how brine on Jupiter’s moon Europa can migrate within the icy shell to form pockets of salty water that erupt to the surface when freezing. The findings, which are important for the upcoming Europa Clipper mission, may explain cryovolcanic eruptions across icy bodies in the solar system. On Jupiter’s icy moon… Continue Reading Researchers Model Source of Eruption on Jupiter’s Moon Europa
