The Antarctic polar icecap is 33.6 million years old

64519 The Antarctic continental ice cap came into existence during the Oligocene epoch, some 33.6 million years ago, according to data from an international expedition led by the Andalusian Institute of Earth Sciences (IACT)—a Spanish National Research Council-University of Granada joint centre. These findings, based on information contained in ice sediments from different depths, have recently… Seguir Leyendo The Antarctic polar icecap is 33.6 million years old

More effective, cheaper concrete manufactured with ash from olive residue biomass

63908 University of Granada researchers have successfully manufactured self-compacting concrete using ash from the combustion of olive pruning residue pellets. Due to its plasticity and cohesion, this type of concrete needs no compaction when used in construction and has many advantages over conventional concrete, resulting in considerable savings of time and money. In an article… Seguir Leyendo More effective, cheaper concrete manufactured with ash from olive residue biomass

Spanish lake found with the oldest remains of atmospheric contamination in southern Europe

63819 Atmospheric contamination due to heavy metals is currently a severe problem of global proportions, with important repercussions in public health. However, this type of pollution is not a recent fact and can even be detected during pre-historic times. A team of scientists, which includes scientists from the Andalusian Institute of Earth Sciences and the University… Seguir Leyendo Spanish lake found with the oldest remains of atmospheric contamination in southern Europe
