MESSENGER Reveals More “Hidden”Territory on Mercury

  “The region of Mercury’s surface that we viewed at close range for the first time this month is bigger than the land area of South America ,” says Sean Solomon, MESSENGER principal investigator and the director of the Department of Terrestrial Magnetism at the Carnegie Institution. “The first two Mercury flybys have returned a rich dividend of new observations.” more » Haztrilo-small.jpg Thursday, November 13, 2008

Mineral Kingdom Has Co-Evolved with Life

Evolution isn’t just for living organisms. Scientists at the Carnegie Institution have found that the mineral kingdom co-evolved with life, and that up to two thirds of the more than 4,000 known types of minerals on Earth can be directly or indirectly linked to biological activity. The finding, published in American Mineralogist*, could aid scientists in the search for life on other planets.Video Interview with Robert Hazen more »  PRBerryCarbonylSulfPixSmlForWeb11-13-08.jpg Thursday, November 13, 2008

Corralling the carbon cycle

Scientists, including Global Ecology’s Joe Berry, may have overcome a major hurdle to calculating how much carbon dioxide is absorbed and released by plants, vital information for determining the amount of carbon that can be safely emitted by human activities. The problem is that ecosystems simultaneously take up and release CO2. The key finding is that the compound carbonyl sulfide, which plants consume in tandem with CO2, can be used to quantify gas flow into the plants during photosynthesis.Audio Press Release more » PRGoncharovRadConSmlPixForWeb.jpg Wednesday, November 12, 2008

Electronic heat trap grips deep Earth

The key to understanding Earth’s evolution, including our atmosphere and how volcanoes and earthquakes form, is to look into the lower mantle—a region some 400 to 1,800 miles below the surface. Researchers at the Geophysical Laboratory discovered that the concentration of highly oxidized iron in the two major mantle minerals is key to moving heat in that region and affects material movement throughout the planet. more » More News » Embryology Global Ecology Observatories Plant Biology Terrestrial Magnetism CASE: Carnegie Academy for Science Education Administration
