Mauna Loa Observatory recorded a CO2 concentration that exceeded 420 ppm for the first time in human history. Doubling CO2 levels has a 95% chance of warming the planet by at least 2°C (3.6°F), according to a study in AGU’s Reviews of Geophysics.
The Perseverance rover experienced a large storm in Jezero crater that lasted more than six Martian days (sols) in January 2022 & erased the rover's tracks. 21 Dust devils were seen on the first day of the storm. See the #AGUpubs paper at 👉

A new study in #AGUpubs puts the collision of India and Asia to 62.7-61 million years ago, earlier than previously thought. The authors analyzed sediments showing the earliest time when rocks from the Asian continent lie clearly above rocks from India.

Experiments reproduced what happens when #landslides occur in water. When simulated landslide debris was partially submerged it made seaward #waves. When the column was mostly or completely submerged, waves moved back the other direction. From #AGUpubs agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/20

How do mountains lose their roots? A new model shows how the sinking of a small dense root (shown as a gray blob) beneath the Central Andes can interact with the flow of material in the Earth's mantle and trigger big changes in the crust. #AGUpubs
