East African Rift study uncovers why breaking up is hard for some continents
Tulane University researchers, collaborating with an international team of scientists, have discovered why some parts of Earth's crust remain strong while others give way, overturning long-held assumptions about how continents break apart.

Good Morning #Canada
Just a few years after we were married my wife and I rented the upper half of a duplex near High Park. The East-West road we lived on was considerably higher than the one south of us and we could see Lake Ontario through gaps in the houses across the street. I learned this week that a few years ago I could have had beachfront access out my front door.
Glacial Lake Iroquois was a prehistoric proglacial lake that existed at the end of the last ice age approximately 13,000 years ago. It was essentially an enlargement of the present Lake Ontario that formed because the St. Lawrence River downstream from the lake was blocked by the ice sheet near the present Thousand Islands. The level of the lake was approximately 30 m above the present level of Lake Ontario. Being born 13,000 years too late probably saved me from paying a lakefront premium on my rent.

Ancient seafloor lava rubble stores vast amounts of carbon dioxide, researchers discover
Sixty-million-year-old rock samples from deep under the ocean have revealed how huge amounts of carbon dioxide are stored for millennia in piles of lava rubble that accumulate on the seafloor.

Of interest to experimental petrologists, upcoming virtual workshop "to discuss and plan to address systematic bias in predictive models caused by the way trace element partitioning data is currently published." #geology #geochemistry ⚒️

Overview
This workshop overview page outlines a February–March 2026 virtual event for experimental petrologists, editors, and program managers to address systemic bias in trace element partitioning data by advocating for publication of raw analytical data to support FAIR principles, improve model accuracy, and establish community-driven data standards.
