A beautiful image of a forest reflected in a pool of water within a pothole in southern Finland is this Monday’s Imaggeo image and it brought to you by Mira Temmlin, a Finish researcher. The photo illustrates a pothole in the Askola pothole area in southern Finland. The pothole area is situated on the steep slopes next to river Porvoonjoki, approximately 70 kilometers to the northeast from the capital city Helsinki and 30 kilometers to the north from the Gulf of Finland. The potholes are [...]
New project research conducted as part of the Columbia Water Center's "America's Water Initiative" suggests that many more places in the United States are at risk of drought-induced water stress than is commonly thought, including dense metropolitan regions in the mid-Atlantic and Northeast such as New York City and Washington,

I was just going to leave this as a g+ post, but it's too good. As we know (but not the usgus!), all the OK earthquakes are caused by shale gas fracking waste, because that contains surface water (meteoric) that is corrosive to the deep quartz holding the rocks together.
It had looked earlier that they would stop all that, but this winter will deplete all stocks in the US NE.

Geologists have developed clever ways to peer deep beneath the earth's surface and these tools are being utilized to get a clearer picture of the November 30 earthquake in Oak Creek Canyon. In addition, aftershocks have been pretty regular since the 10:57 PM main shock.Courtesy Google Earth with annotations by Jeri Young Ben-Horin at AZGSHere is a Google Image provided by colleagues that shows how the epicenters for the aftershocks have migrated northeast from the main shock epicenter. The main [...]
On 27 June, lava from Kīlauea, an active volcano on the island of Hawai`i, began flowing to the northeast, threatening the residents in Pāhoa. Eos recently spoke with Michael Poland, a geophysicist at the U.S. Geological Survey’s Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) and a member of the Eos Editorial Advisory Board, to discuss how he and his colleagues communicated this threat to the
Good afternoon! Here are a few photos, both plain and annotated, showing the relationship between primary sedimentary bedding and tectonic cleavage in the “tectonised Stephen” Formation atop the Cathedral Escarpment (in Yoho National Park), just northeast of the Walcott Quarry where the (thicker, basinward) Stephen Formation hosts the Burgess Shale. Weathering exploits both these planes of weakness… Here, the cleavage is more planar at the bottom of the sample, and

Háifoss is Iceland’s second highest waterfall, with a drop of 122 metres. It’s name means ‘Milky elfin vomit spout’ in Icelandic. Not really; it’s ‘High waterfall’. It is located inThjorsadalur, about an hour northeast of Selfoss. Hjálparfoss and Gjáin are … Continue reading
The summer of 2014 has been unusually mild in the Midwest and portions of the East, and brutally hot and dry in the West. The heat and drought in the NW corner of North America has led to raging forest fires that have spread dense smoke over the northeast and across the Atlantic to France, and the drought in California has reached the worst possible level: exceptional drought. Mother Nature is
A late winter in the Great Lakes region signals a cooler summer is coming for the Northeast, according to scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Climate Prediction Center.[...]

AZGS has published another report in our series of assessments of the potential for geologic sequestration of carbon dioxide. This latest report examines the Permian-aged Cedar Mesa Sandstone in the northeast part of the state. There are large coal-fired power plants in the area that may need to find ways to dispose of CO2 generated by burning the coal for electricity. [Right,

“Stretching from Singapore and the Strait of Malacca chokepoint in the southwest to the Strait of Taiwan in the northeast, the South China Sea is one of the most important energy trade routes in the world. Almost a third of global crude oil and over half of global liquefied natural gas passes through the South

Rockfalls don't get much attention in Arizona but one northeast of Flagstaff last week injured a member of a radio tower work crew on Mt Elden, according to the Daily (Flagstaff) Sun. The article reports that the Coconino County Sheriff’s Office saying the victims legs and pelvic are was crushed by a 30-ton boulder when he tried to move another large
boulder from Elden Lookout Road.
So this week was one of the biggest Marine Biology Events EVER! It was on TV almost ALL DAY (and for the next several days) and involves some of the Earth's most mysterious and unusual animals!
