The Earth’s climate has gone from Greenhouse to Hothouse more than dozen times this eon. Each time, researchers say, magma brought the heat. Dr. David L. Kidder is helping to characterize the Hothouse planetary state by studying times when the Earth’s deep-level plumbing system sent large volumes of magma to […]

Above the soil, trees and crops are dining on carbon dioxide—even grabbing more than scientists originally expected from the atmosphere. They might suck some of that carbon into their roots, or lay it down upon the soil as they wither with winter. While one Ohio University researcher is studying how […]

Dr. Andrew Ross, Assistant Professor of Political Science, published an article on “Realism, Emotion, and Dynamic Allegiances in Global Politics” in International Theory5, no. 2 (2013): 273-99. Abstract: This article appeals to classical realism for new insights into the role emotions play in shifting the terrain of political allegiance in […]

Where have all the codfish gone? Dr. R. Patrick Hassett, Associate Professor of Biological Sciences, is a co-author on a paper assessing the impact of global warming on the North Atlantic food chain. The researchers are using a new technique to acquire data on a tiny crustacean that is a […]

First in a Series on Macro-Evolution Darwin and his successors wrote the first chapters on evolution by looking at small changes in species over relatively short periods of time, usually described as natural selection. Scientists developed the Modern Synthesis to describe gradual evolution following the discovery of the DNA molecule, […]

  Congrats to Dr. Alexander Govorov and Ph.D. student Zhiyuan Fan on their paper in Nature accumulating 100 citations in the 18 months since its publication. The two were co-authors on a March 2012 paper on “DNA-based self-assembly of chiral plasmonic nanostructures with tailored optical response,” which appeared in the journal […]
