Original artwork from scientific illustrator Emiliano Troco depicting a Brontosaurus (likely the most famous sauropod dinosaur) acting as an ecosystem engineer in a warm and vegetated landscape not dissimilar to modern-day savannah type biomes.

Sauropod dinosaurs were restricted to warmer regions of Earth

Earlier warnings made possible by the study of tsunami-generated magnetic fields could better prepare coastal areas for impending disasters.

Tsunamis’ magnetic fields are detectable before sea level change

On September 29, 2009, a tsunami caused substantial damage and loss of life in American Samoa, Samoa, and Tonga. The tsunami was generated by a large earthquake in the Southern Pacific Ocean. Credit: NOAA

Earthquake depth impacts potential tsunami threat

Stick-slip events in the earth cause damage like this, but limited data from these relatively rare earthquakes makes them difficult to model with machine learning. Transfer learning may provide a path to understanding when such deep faults slip. Credit: Dreamstime
