A new study published in Nature has found that tectonic plates may change directions rapidly, or “wobble,” several months before a massive quake is released.1 Scientists are not sure why, but it may lead to a future breakthrough in earthquake predictions. Jonathan R. Bedford—from the Helmholtz Centre Potsdam, GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences in Potsdam, Germany—and colleagues fr… More… …read more Source: icr.org

Recently, geologist Harry S. Pettingill has found that deepwater oil and gas fields may be more environmentally friendly than first thought.1 In this day and age of trying to find an energy source that makes the smallest environmental impact, we may have overlooked a solution right below our feet…or actually, deep beneath the ocean. Heather Saucier summarized Pettingill’s findings in the April issue of The AAPG Exp… More… …read more Source: icr.org

Recently, a new study published in Nature Communications found that mountain streams may be much larger contributors to the global carbon cycle than previously believed.1 The study suggests that this is a consequence of the higher turbulence levels of most mountain streams. Lead author Åsa Horgby, of the Stream Biofilm and Ecosystem Research Laboratory at École Polytechnique Fédérale d… More… …read more Source: icr.org
Recently, Joshua Rosenfeld made a new attempt to explain an ongoing conundrum in secular geology.1 Although a mystery to those holding to a uniformitarian worldview, it is easily solved by accepting the reality of the global Flood. Rosenfeld, a retired oil geologist, publishing in the April issue of The AAPG Explorer, noted that the controversy over the origin of the Whopper Sand has endured for over 15 years, w… More… …read more Source: icr.org

Recently, a new study published in Nature Communications has suggested that pulses of massive amounts of lava can release as much CO2 as humanity will produce for the entire 21st century. This indicates that volcanic activity, especially during the global Flood and right after, likely produced tremendous amounts of CO2 that has far outweighed any produced by humans. This really should be no surprise, … More… …read more Source: icr.org
Paleontologists in Australia have recently discovered a treasure trove of amber with trapped insects, spiders, and fungi.1 These new fossils are revealing some animal behavioral secrets and are creating some baffling mysteries. Amber is ancient tree resin. And many times what is trapped in the amber can provide us with a glimpse of life in the past—like a time capsule. This new discovery, published in Scientifi… More… …read more Source: icr.org

Tim Clarey, Ph.D., and Frank Sherwin, M.A. The recent discovery of a flooded Ice Age forest in Mobile Bay, Alabama, has scientists diving for even more hidden secrets.1 In December 2019, a team of scientists from Northeastern University and the University of Utah took the Research Vessel E.O. Wilson to collect some pieces of the ancient trees.2 But these … More… …read more Source: icr.org
Another major oil discovery in the deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico has been recently announced.1 Equinor, a Norwegian-based oil company, and partners Progress Resources USA Ltd. and Repsol E&P USA Inc. made the proclamation last week. This is another well that appears to have found mysterious sands, such as the Whopper Sand found previously in the deep waters of the Gulf.2 Equinor used the drilling ship … More… …read more Source: icr.org
Recently, a team of geochemists from Belgium reported that days might have been 30 minutes shorter in the Late Cretaceous compared to today, giving 372 days in a year.1 They published their results in Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, basing their conclusions on growth patterns in an extinct bivalve called a rudist clam. But is it really true that the Earth had 372 days each year in the past? Many secular s… More… …read more Source: icr.org
A recent report in the journal Science mixed detailed archaeological finds with stories about human origins. As is typical, age assignments for fossils fit evolutionary time instead of the Bible’s much shorter timeline of thousands, not millions, of years. But the age-dating exercises revealed more about what these scientists believe about the past than what the rocks and fossils themselves reveal. A cave on the Port… More… …read more Source: icr.org
Pterosaurs were amazing flying reptiles that came in all shapes and sizes.1 Not surprisingly, when these bizarre creatures are found in the fossil record they are 100% flying reptiles. Some achieve the size of a fighter jet, such as Quetzalcoatlus discovered in Texas or Hatzegopteryx in Romania. Paleobiologists have recently discovered a new pterosaur (Afrotapejara zouhrii) in Africa belonging to a group call… More… …read more Source: icr.org
New concerns have surfaced this week about melting ice from within the deepest point on the continents.1 Worry over the rapid melting of the ice-filled Denman Canyon has sparked more environmental concern over climate change. But are we letting our fears get ahead of ourselves? Denman Canyon was only recently identified in December 2019 as the deepest point on land.2 The trough is 20 kilometers (12.4 miles) wi… More… …read more Source: icr.org
Evolutionists are celebrating the discovery of what they claim is a small dinosaur skull trapped in Burmese amber.1 Oculudentavis khaungraae is declared to be a tiny Mesozoic dinosaur that is 99 million years old.

Lars Schmitz, associate professor of biology, stated, “Its unique anatomical features point to one of the smallest and most ancient birds eve… More… …read more Source: icr.org

A recent study in March 2020 suggested that sulfur dioxide (SO2) injected into Earth’s stratosphere could fight global warming, with a minimum of adverse effects.1,2 Here at ICR we generally think alarmism over “global warming” or “climate change” is unwarranted. We aren’t necessarily endorsing this proposal, but we can use it to shed light on what really caused the Ice Age…. More… …read more Source: icr.org
On March 18, 2020, a 5.7 magnitude earthquake shook the Salt Lake City area. Specifically, it hit underneath the town of Magna, Utah. Since that time, over 650 aftershocks have continued to rumble through the rocks beneath the town. Three aftershocks reached about 4 in magnitude, 20 about 3 in magnitude, and 122 around 2 in magnitude.1 The earthquake actually originated about 8 miles below the town of Magna, Utah. It sho… More… …read more Source: icr.org
Evolutionary scientists are still trying to understand what happens when tectonic plate subduction stops. They are also baffled by rapid crustal uplift near subduction zones. Yet, we see clear evidence of the slowing of tectonic plates and the rapid rise of mountains globally. Secular science hasn’t realized that these two processes are simply an expected consequence of the end of the Genesis Flood around 4,500 years ago. More… …read more Source: icr.org
Evolutionary scientists announced the discovery of what they claim are the oldest green-algae fossils—which look remarkably like modern, living seaweeds.
