Rapid Rock Formation from Industrial Slag: A New Anthropoclastic Rock Cycle
Researchers in Glasgow have discovered a new 'anthropoclastic rock cycle' where industrial slag transforms into rock in as little as 35 years, incorporating human trash like a 1934 coin and a 1989 aluminum tab, challenging our understanding of geological timescales and the impact of industrial waste...

Earth's Core: Source of Gold Migration to Surface Confirmed
A new study confirms Earth's core holds over 99% of the planet's gold, with some gradually migrating to the surface via mantle plumes, as evidenced by the discovery of core-specific ruthenium isotopes in Hawaiian volcanic rocks.

Messina Strait Bridge Design Raises Earthquake Safety Concerns
The proposed Messina Strait Bridge may be structurally inadequate for major earthquakes due to design underestimation of ground acceleration, contrasting with more stringent standards used for critical global infrastructure, especially considering active faults in the area.

Deep Earthquakes in Sierra Nevada Reveal Ongoing Lithospheric Delamination
A study in Geophysical Research Letters reveals unusually deep earthquakes beneath California's Sierra Nevada, linked to ongoing lithospheric delamination; this process, where Earth's outermost layer sinks into the lower mantle, is reshaping the mountain range and could offer insights into continent...

North American Continent Undergoes 'Cratonic Dripping'
Research published in Nature Geoscience reveals that North America's ancient core is slowly sinking into the Earth's mantle due to a process called "cratonic dripping", primarily affecting the Midwest, a phenomenon possibly linked to convective heat flows or a subducting oceanic plate.

Earth's Core Leaks Gold: Evidence from Hawaiian Lava
Researchers discovered evidence that some of Earth's gold originates from the core, using rubidium-100 isotope ratios in Hawaiian lava as a tracer for core material that rises to the surface via mantle plumes, forming gold-bearing magmas and deposits.
