Boudinage in brecciated dolostone rocks of the Panamint Range (Wildrose Area, Death Valley National Park). New research shows that periclase is stronger than bridgmanite in the earth's lower mantle, analogous to boudins developing in rigid ("stronger") rocks among less competent ("weaker") rocks.

The Marine Optical Buoy (MOBY) is an ocean-color sensor that serves as a primary reference instrument for satellite measurements of the color of the ocean. Single-cell plants called phytoplankton contain chlorophyll that reflects the green in sunlight, which gives the ocean color. Researchers can study these measurements to better understand the planet's climate. MOBY...
