| Nealtican lava flow field, Popocatépetl volcano: A window to the past and future hazards Posted: 04 Mar 2022 07:10 AM PST The Popocatépetl volcano, located southeast of Mexico City, stands as the second highest peak in Mexico and is considered to be one of the potentially most dangerous volcanoes in the world, given its record of highly explosive eruptions over the last 23,000 years. |
| New species of stegosaur is oldest discovered in Asia, and possibly the world Posted: 03 Mar 2022 06:58 PM PST Relatively small, but fearsome-looking stegosaur measured about 2.8 meters (9 feet) from nose to tail -- but scientists can't tell whether the remains are those of an adult or juvenile. |
| Physics race pits Usain Bolt against Jurassic Park dinosaur Posted: 03 Mar 2022 11:12 AM PST Scott Lee is a physics professor at the University of Toledo who has developed numerous learning activities to help intro-level students get enthusiastic about the topic. His latest innovative activity poses the question: Is Usain Bolt faster than a 900-pound dinosaur? |
| Researchers reconstruct ancient fish lizard Posted: 03 Mar 2022 07:27 AM PST Scientists have mapped 300 years of research on the prehistoric marine reptiles known as ichthyosaurs. Using a uniquely well-preserved fossil, the team has also created the scientifically most up-to-date reconstruction of an ichthyosaur currently available. |
| What explains our lower back pain? Anthropologists turn to Neanderthals for answers Posted: 03 Mar 2022 06:57 AM PST Examining the spines of Neanderthals, an extinct human relative, may explain back-related ailments experienced by humans today, a team of anthropologists has concluded in a new comparative study. |
| Mummification in Europe may be older than previously known Posted: 03 Mar 2022 06:56 AM PST Mummification of the dead probably was more common in prehistory than previously known. This discovery is made at the hunter-gatherer burial sites in the Sado Valley in Portugal, dating to 8,000 years ago. A recent study presents new evidence for pre-burial treatments such as desiccation through mummification, which has not been suggested for the European Mesolithic before. |
| Posted: 02 Mar 2022 06:27 AM PST Paleontologists from La Brea Tar Pits develop a whole herd of scientifically accurate extinct animals to use in AR and VR. |
| Three critical factors in the end-Permian mass extinction Posted: 01 Mar 2022 10:12 AM PST 252 million years ago, volcanic eruptions led to massive climate changes. Around the globe, roughly 75 percent of all land-based organisms and roughly 90 percent of all marine organisms died out as a result. Researchers have now used a new form of machine learning to unravel the causes of the mass extinction in the oceans. |
| Ancient humans impact African island environment Posted: 28 Feb 2022 08:44 AM PST Unguja Ukuu, an archaeological settlement located on the Zanzibar Archipelago in Tanzania, was a key port of trade in the Indian Ocean by the first millennium when the island was populated by farming societies establishing trade links toward the Indian Ocean, China and beyond. New research describes how human activities modified the shoreline at Unguja Ukuu. |
