Abstract:

Kluchevskoi is one of the largest active volcanoes in the world, and sits above two tectonic plates in Russia. Seismologist Jonathan Lees believes the plates are torn, allowing the underlying Earth mantle to erode the plate’s edges. The tear may explain the presence of adakites, bits of hardened lava containing plate material, in the region’s volcanism.

Abstract:

Marine geologist Charles Paull discovered a community of organisms in the Gulf of Mexico that survives on chemical energy, not sunlight. The processes associated with the chemosynthetic food chain help explain deep-sea geological processes, and may lead to solutions to chemical pollution.
