How can we study crustal development?
Scientists have long sought to understand the development of the Earth in particular, what exactly has allowed it to transform into the only known life-harboring planet? Yale graduate student Meng Guo and her advisor Jun Korenaga have aimed to build a piece of this complex puzzle in a recent publication in
Science Advances. In the paper, Guo looks into understanding the development of Earth’s crust through a process known as argon degassing.
The development of Earth’s crust has been an important area of study since the 1960s; an accurate look into the evolution of crust can shed light on much about the geology and nature of early Earth. Because of this, there have been many different models made to try to accurately predict how Earth’s crust came to be; however, there has been tremendous variation in these estimates. To track the evolution of continental crust is a complicated task, with many different factors. “[Crustal development]
Like many of you reading this article, I am terribly disappointed with the outcome of the Georgia Senate races. The worst-case scenario has unfolded, with an incoming Democratic president, backed by a Democrat-controlled Congress (as the incoming vice president casts the deciding vote in the Senate). And the consequences could be grave. Very grave.
But let’s not throw in the towel or write the epitaph for America. Our fate is hardly sealed.
Consider this grave warning from a powerful Christian leader who warned of what was coming to our country as it threatened to lurch to the left: “We may see the Bible cast into a bonfire, . . . our children, either wheedled or terrified, uniting in the mob, chanting mockeries against God . . . our wives and daughters the victims of legal prostitution; soberly dishonoured; speciously polluted; the outcasts of delicacy and virtue, and the loathing of God and man.”

A traditional symbol of the Christmas season, wreaths are made of evergreens to represent everlasting life brought about by the birth of Jesus, while the circular shape of the wreath symbolizes God, with no beginning and no end.

Editor’s Note It’s been said that Christmas is one of the few holidays that has its own “sound track.” The Times-Gazette today presents the 11th installment of a special 12-part series entitled “The 12 Carols of Christmas” that will appear daily through Christmas Eve, relating the stories behind some of the best-loved sacred songs of the season.
