A Seismic Triple Whammy

A magnitude 8.1 earthquake and tsunami that killed 192 people last
year in Samoa, American Samoa and Tonga actually was a triple whammy: the 8.1 "great earthquake" concealed and triggered two major quakes of magnitude 7.8, seismologists report in the Aug. 19 issue of the journal Nature.

Princeton Builds Research Ties With Historically Black Universities

As an early career scientist, Max Fontus wondered how successful researchers repeatedly make discoveries worth publishing. Collaborating with a Princeton engineering professor this summer, he realized that working with scientists from other fields of research results in a cross-pollination of ideas that lays the foundation for great progress in science.

Sunlight Exposes Divorcees When Asteroids Split Up

A new study depicts the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter not as a dull zone of dead rocks with an occasional wayward speedster smashing through on its way toward the sun, but as one of slow but steady change, where sunlight gradually drives asteroids to split in two and separate to become independent asteroids among the millions orbiting the sun.

Shrinking Atmospheric Layer Linked to Low Levels of Solar Radiation
Thu, 26 Aug 2010 12:10:00 -0500
Large changes in the sun's energy output may drive unexpectedly dramatic fluctuations in Earth's outer atmosphere.
Results of a study published today 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 ...
