Tyrannosaurus rex evolved in North America, but its direct ancestor came from Asia, crossing a land bridge connecting the continents more than 70 million years ago, according to a new study led by UCL (University College London) researchers.

Using rock samples collected from the Wasatch Fault, Utah State University geoscientists combined experiments and analysis in USU's Rock Deformation and Earthquake Mechanics lab with examinations of fault rock textures at USU’s Microscopy Core Facility. The USU team's research revealed significant clues about the Wasatch Fault’s earthquake risk.

Autonomous robots that organize themselves are the next step in working in and studying the ocean.

When does ‘anomalous weather’ become a ‘new climate’? The moment that variations in a specific climate variable turn into the new normal is termed time of emergence (ToE). Scientists from the University of Groningen and the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI) have developed a method to predict time of emergence in various Arctic regions, based on warming, wetting, and sea ice melting.
