Chemistry World March 13, 2014 Emma Stoye	Piece of Earth's interior 'ocean' found in diamond A tiny crystal found in a diamond has confirmed predictions about a giant store of water deep in the Earth's mantle.
Chemistry World December 4, 2013 James Urquhart	Diamonds' redox reaction origins revealed Subduction zones -- boundaries between tectonic plates where the Earth's crust sinks into the hot mantle -- could be breeding grounds for diamond formation, according to Russian researchers.
Geotimes July 2006 Carolyn Gramling	Earth Soaks up Seawater Geologists have long thought that seawater does not travel very far through Earth's interior A new geochemical study, however, is challenging that notion, saying that traces of seawater exist deep inside the planet.

Geotimes May 2007 Kathryn Hansen	Deep Earth May Hold an Ocean Earth's deep interior, more than 1,000 kilometers below the surface in the mantle, could prove to be a watery place. That's the conclusion researchers drew from an anomaly uncovered by the first global map of Earth's lower mantle, using a new type of seismic analysis.
Chemistry World July 22, 2011 David Bradley	Cracking diamonds reveals continental origins An analysis of the mineral inclusions in diamonds dredged up by eruptions from deep within the Earth has allowed scientists to get a handle on when the process of plate tectonics began.

Chemistry World October 11, 2012 Andy Extance	Perovskite posits answer to xenon riddle If meteorites and the Earth were formed from similar materials at the same time, where did the xenon go? Some scientists think that the answer could be found in xenon trapped in the Earth's iron core, or in ice, water or rocks near the surface.
Chemistry World May 31, 2011 Manisha Lalloo	Hard x-rays to watch chemical reactions Researchers at the ESRF synchrotron at Grenoble, France, produced hard x-rays to look beneath the surface of materials made of lighter elements
Chemistry World August 28, 2015 Andy Extance	'Fire fountain' data illuminate lunar history The most precise measurements yet of carbon present in volcanic glass samples found on the Moon suggest that the 'fire fountain' lava explosions that formed them were propelled by carbon monoxide.
Geotimes September 2006 Carolyn Gramling	Donald Forsyth: At Play in the Field Forsyth emphasizes that collaborating with students and other researchers is not only important to solving tough geological puzzles, but also is much of the fun.
Chemistry World May 11, 2006 Jon Evans	Sea Water Assumes the Xenon Mantle Geochemists have uncovered evidence that sea water incorporates noble gases into the Earth's mantle, overturning current theories of how noble gases are transported beneath the crust.
Geotimes June 2007 Hansen & Gramling	Are Volcanoes Picky Eaters? New measurements of the concentrations of elements within magma suggest a volcano's food may be a complex recipe -- and that what kind of magma a volcano prefers may affect its physical features, including the size to which it can grow, according to new research
Geotimes November 2006 Kathryn Hansen	Crystals Heat up Volcanic Eruptions Key pressure and temperature information preserved inside tiny bubbles in lava is causing scientists to rethink previous assumptions about how magma behaves, and what might trigger eruptions.
Chemistry World May 24, 2012 Jon Evans	Can magma crystals predict eruptions? Mineral crystals blasted out from volcanoes can provide a window into the powerful processes going on inside those volcanoes, say UK and German earth scientists.
Chemistry World May 13, 2014 Tim Wogan	Chemistry calculations reveal Earth's inner core Theoretical calculations have confirmed that the Earth's core contains a significant proportion of oxygen.
Geotimes February 2005 Joshua Zaffos	Mid-Ocean Ridge Spread or Jam? Different spreading geologic ridges move at different rates, and new research may explain how changes in spreading rates affect heat distribution and crust development at the ridges, particularly the slow ones.
Chemistry World September 12, 2013 Paola Quattroni	Brain cancer severity linked with oxidation state of iron New research shows that the higher the malignancy grade of a brain tumor, the higher the iron(ii) to iron(iii) ratio in human brain tissue. The finding could point to new approaches for measuring the malignancy grade of tumors.
IEEE Spectrum April 2008 John Boyd	Electromagnetic Link Deep in the Earth Varies the Length of the Day Scientists find that 2600 kilometers down, the Earth is electrically conductive. The mineral responsible could point the way to new superconductors.
Geotimes September 2003 Sara Pratt	Zircons reveal mantle evolution A team of Finnish geologists has discovered 3.1 billion-year-old zircons in the Jormua ophiolite of eastern Finland. Although not the oldest zircons on Earth, the Jormua zircons are the oldest yet found in mantle rocks. Their discovery has given scientists a brief glimpse into the history of early plate tectonics.
Geotimes July 2007 Carolyn Gramling	X-ray Eyes in the Sky Scientists are working on the next generation of low-orbiting satellites that they hope will see far past the Earth's surface and into its interior, to better understand the structure and composition of Earth's crust, mantle and core.
Chemistry World November 26, 2014 Rebecca Brodie	Seeing glucose through the skin Scientists in Germany have developed a spectroscopy method to measure diabetics' glucose levels through their skin.
Chemistry World November 11, 2013 Charlie Quigg	Detecting iron the smart way Central to the new technique is 8-hydroxyquinoline, a particularly stable iron chelator, which is immobilized on a polymer disk and will change color depending on the amount of iron chelated to it.
Geotimes January 2007 Kathryn Hansen	Eruptive Event Caught Red-Handed Researchers know that, in general, mid-ocean ridges are the site of periodic eruptive events that create new seafloor. At the East Pacific Rise, determining the seismic characteristics that lead up to eruptions could help researchers predict when and where along the trench future events are likely to occur.
Geotimes December 2003 Sara Pratt	Ultraslow spreading centers In two of the deepest and most remote parts of the world, scientists have discovered a new class of "ultraslow" spreading ridge, where cold, solid slabs of mantle are being heaved to the surface to build new seafloor.
