A team co-led by Southwest Research Institute found evidence for hydrothermal or metamorphic activity within the icy dwarf planets Eris and Makemake, located in the Kuiper Belt. Methane detected ...

A cocoon is distinct from both a pupa and chrysalis. It is a hard, silk shell that a moth larva weaves around itself before it enters the pupa stage of metamorphosis.

Research from all publishers Recent advances in high-resolution analytical techniques have significantly refined our understanding of both igneous and metamorphic processes. Investigations ...

David explores the geochemical co-evolution of Earth’s crust and hydrosphere with an emphasis on igneous and metamorphic processes. His current projects target 1) Archean subaerial magmatism, 2) ...

To train AI models to more effectively mimic metamorphic processes, the researchers developed a high-quality dataset of more than 2,000 time-lapse videos with detailed captions.

Dredged rocks are collected by dragging an open steel box with an attached chain bag along the ocean bottom behind a ship. Rocks in a dredge haul frequently weigh hundreds of pounds and a single leg ...

Advisor: Alisha Clark Research Experimental Igneous Petrology. My primary focus is using southwest North American igneous history to investigate the destruction of continental lithospheric mantle.

Moderate D/H ratios in methane ice on Eris and Makemake as evidence of hydrothermal or metamorphic processes in their interiors: Geochemical analysis. Icarus, 2024; 412: 115999 DOI: 10.1016/j ...
