The majority of hydrogen in Earth’s core is likely to have been incorporated during planet’s formation, rather than through comet impacts. Findings suggest the core may be largest reservoir of hydrogen on Earth, containing more hydrogen than that stored in the oceans: #EarthScience #Geoscience ⚒️

Experimental quantification of hydrogen content in the Earth’s core - Nature Communications
Earth’s core is arguably the largest reservoir of hydrogen (H) on the planet. Experiments show that H sequestration is coupled with those of Si and O, enabling the core to store the equivalent of dozens of Earth’s oceans.

Hundreds of incarcerated people are battling the deadly flames ripping through the Los Angeles area, reviving criticism of the practice, including over their low pay for dangerous work. nyti.ms/40ykeqk
A card that reads: "$10.24 The maximum that incarcerated people in California earn fighting fires per day. Prison reform activists note that these firefighters are often paid less, for a full day of work, than the state's hourly minimum wage of $16.50."

Women leave academia at higher rates than men at every career stage, and attrition is especially high among three groups: tenured faculty, women in non-STEM fields, and women employed at less prestigious institutions, a #ScienceAdvances analysis finds.

Gender and retention patterns among U.S. faculty
Women faculty are more likely to leave their jobs than men, most often due to workplace climate, rather than work-life balance.

It’s almost certain that 2024 will be the hottest year on record. Scientists still can’t explain what’s causing the spike, but “it’s possible that we may have tripped some switches we don’t understand in the global climate system,” @billmckibben.bsky.social writes.

Hotter and Hotter
Scientists don’t yet understand why temperatures have been steadily spiking above the projections. But what they do understand is bad enough.

The findings of a study in Nature Communications highlight the potential of iron sulfide-catalyzed carbon fixation in early Earth’s terrestrial hot springs, effective with or without UV light. go.nature.com/3OL1wEU 🧪
This is figure 4, which shows the proposed terrestrial hot spring scenario.
