#MinCup24 R4M2: #Dioptase vs. #Kyanite

This semifinal round is bound to end in heartbreak 💔. Dioptase, the desert emerald, faces blue metamorphic index mineral Kyanite.

Scientists drilled deeper into mantle rocks than ever before, recovering a geologic trove that could hold clues to help decipher the pivotal steps that ignited the first sparks of life. I'm thrilled to share my first feature for @QuantaMagazine:

Roughly one-third of the world’s lakes are blue. Rising temperatures could change that.. https://t.co/XvPmMEdVjS

Lots of new folks so:

Hi! I’m Nick Underwood. I’m an engineer for the NOAA Hurricane Hunters. I’ve been hunting hurricanes and supporting science missions aboard these aircraft for the last six years. I’m flying with a crew into Hurricane #Ian in a few hours. Ask me anything.

Well before oxygen was abundant on Earth, life was familiar with the element. Scientists may now know why.

During a brief period in Earth’s past, a massive emission of carbon abruptly raised global temperatures, acidified oceans, and stamped out species. New data may help explain how it happened.

A new discovery could lead to better identification of CO2 sources in the atmosphere, which could guide emissions policies. It also raises questions about a potential undiscovered reservoir of 3He—a critical resource in research and commercial industries.

Until now, the world’s wetlands have been underappreciated as a major carbon sink. Restoring them is a key tool in the race to curb climate change.
