A fossil skull provides new clues about how dinosaurs ascended to their full Jurassic power.
By combining multi-proxy data from field and laboratory research with multiple computer modeling simulations using known and extrapolated data, the study shows a potential link between sustained, large-scale volcanism in the Altiplano-Puna volcanic complex, the largest active silicic magma system on Earth, and global climatic and ecological change.
University of Wyoming researchers' methodology has, for the first time, made it possible to characterize surface local chemical ordering of high-entropy alloys.
The combination of extreme weather conditions, like atmospheric rivers, and aging infrastructure is putting increasing pressures on Canadian highways, bridges and tunnels—many of which are almost 100 years old.
UBC Okanagan researchers caution that these systems are facing hazards they weren’t considered in their original design, and this increases their vulnerability to failure. This growing strain is putting significant pressure on local governments, which must secure funding to upgrade and maintain these critical transportation networks, says UBC Okanagan School of Engineering postdoctoral researcher Dr. Alaa Al Hawarneh.
