Canon updates 5D mark III firmware, concedes it wont get continuous autofocus for video

Canon has released an updated firmware for the 5D Mark III that adds support for the forthcoming 40mm f/2.8 lens and fixes a variety of small power and auto-exposure issues. What was absent was the long-promised support for continuously autofocusing video, which the company confirmed to The Verge has now been ditched from the camera's spec sheet. It looks like if you were hoping to helm your own tense medical drama with one of these, you'd better start looking for the receipt.

'Breaking Dawn' And 'Dark Knight Rises': The Trouble With Trailers

Josh Horowitz takes a stand against the teaser-trailer obsession.
By Josh Horowitz


Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson in "Breaking Dawn - Part 2"

This is the actual thing. It's not the preview of the thing. It's not the tease of the preview of the thing. It's not even the glimpse of the tease of the preview of the thing. It's the actual thing. I know — weird, right?

If you're an insatiable consumer of media like me (and if you're not, you're in the wrong place. Go commune with nature, you hippie; I'm juggling an iPad, a laptop and a Blackberry with one hand!), you're probably getting sick of the parsing out of "exclusives" during the last few months. I write the following acknowledging there's some hypocrisy here. I (and MTV News) am after all guilty of exactly what I'm claiming to be tired of: the teaser culture. But I'm taking a stand — I hereby go on record saying I am officially sick of 10-second previews of previews. As I write this, a bunch of new trailers and teases and commercials (figuring out the appropriate terminology is a headache in and of itself) just landed on the Interwebs.

Perhaps most notable in your world is the latest from "Breaking Dawn - Part 2" that came out Tuesday morning (June 19). Yes, Summit has released what it calls a "ten-second sneak peek of the teaser trailer" in anticipation of the actual teaser trailer for said movie, which presumably will give way to a non-teaser (er, regular?) trailer in a few months. Still with me? Now don't get me wrong: I love seeing early imagery from films I'm anxiously awaiting, but this is not the way to do it. At least not for me. Mind you, this snippet is still worlds better than the time-honored entertainment-show tradition of showing snippets of an exclusive trailer while a breathless correspondent narrates exactly what you're seeing. "There's Bella! And there's Edward!" Yeah, we see that. Thanks, Billy Bush.

Also out Tuesday morning are two examples of advertisements for upcoming flicks that definitely get things right, in my estimation. In the — let's call it "traditional" — category, there's the brand-new trailer for "The Dark Knight Rises," which frankly doesn't show a ton more than we've seen already. But it does package the material so artfully, with a keen sense of self-serious awesomeness ("This year a fire will rise" — yes!), that I doff my broken cowl in its favor.

And then there's my personal obsession, the latest work from Paul Thomas Anderson, "The Master." The second of what I'm guessing will be a series of shorts (calling these trailers doesn't do them justice) has been released, and each is slowly but surely introducing the upcoming flick's key figures. (Joaquin Phoenix is going to steal the film! Wait, no, I take it back — it's Philip Seymour Hoffman's movie!) Make no mistake, "The Master" is the "Dark Knight Rises" for the Sight & Sound-subscribing crowd this year.

Of course, this assortment of teases/ trailers/ shorts/ whatever doesn't even get into the most interesting area of film advertising going today — let's call it the viral short. "Prometheus" may have divided fanboys, but I think we all can agree that "Happy birthday David" was mesmerizing and creepy in all the right ways. So where is the viral video of the Cullens sitting at home watching a "True Blood" marathon? Oh, the possibilities ...

Al-Qaida-linked Group Claims Israel Attack

By IBRAHIM BARZAK, Associated Press

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) ? A shadowy group claiming ties to al-Qaida said Tuesday that it carried out a deadly cross-border attack in Israel, the strongest evidence to date to back Israeli claims that the global terror network is operating on its doorstep.

While the claim of responsibility, made in a video obtained by The Associated Press in the Gaza Strip, could not be independently verified, it was accompanied by a separate statement with additional details on the attack posted on a website affiliated with al-Qaida.

In Monday's attack, two gunmen infiltrated Israel from Egypt's Sinai desert, killing a civilian worker who was part of a team building a border fence to prevent such attacks. The two gunmen were later killed by Israeli forces.

The short video said the attack was carried out by the Mujahedeen Shura Council of Jerusalem, a murky group that was formed in April.

It identifies two men, one Egyptian and one Saudi, as the perpetrators of Monday's attack. "Soon we will carry out a double suicide mission against the enemy troops on the Egyptian border with occupy Palestine today, Monday, June 18," said the Saudi man.

Later Tuesday, the group issued a statement on an al-Qaida-linked website saying the men targeted an Israeli patrol with a bomb, anti-tank rockets and gunfire. It said the attack was dedicated to "Sheik Mujhahid Osama bin Laden," the al-Qaida founder who was assassinated by U.S. troops last year.

The Israeli military declined comment on the latest claims. Military officials have been warning for more than a year that al-Qaida is operating in the area.

Israeli officials believe the group has taken advantage of the power vacuum in the Sinai since the ouster of longtime Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak last year.

On Tuesday Israel's military chief, Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz, toured the area of the infiltration and said his forces are dealing with the situation.

"The more significant issue is what is happening inside Sinai, the dispatch areas, the terror bases that are expanding and growing there. Egypt must exercise its sovereignty in Sinai," he said.

Israeli officials also believe al-Qaida and other "global jihad" elements have infiltrated the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip, which lies between Israel and the Sinai.

Hamas denies al-Qaida is operating in Gaza. The two militant groups have far different ideologies. Hamas says its struggle is focused solely against Israel, while al-Qaida claims to be fighting a holy war against the West.

Israel blames Hamas for all violence from Gaza. Following Monday's attack, Israel carried out a series of airstrikes on militant targets in Gaza, drawing retaliatory rocket fire.

Two Palestinian men in Gaza were killed early Tuesday following an airstrike, which Israel said was in response to rocket fire. In all, at least 25 rockets fell on southern Israel Tuesday. Residents in the town of Sderot, next to Gaza, were told to stay close to shelters, and a college there had to cancel its graduation ceremony. There were no reports of injuries on the Israeli side.

Late Tuesday, Gaza health official Adham Abu Salmia said an explosion in a house killed a child and injured 3 others.

Gaza officials initially blamed Israel, but residents there said apparently a rocket fired by militants at Israel fell short and hit the house.

The flare-up in violence is the most serious fighting between Israel and Gaza militants in months, and has threatened an informal cease-fire that has largely held for the past three years. Hamas, which has largely stayed out of violence, claimed responsibility for some of the rocket fire.

In another development Tuesday, vandals torched and scrawled graffiti on a Palestinian mosque in the West Bank, Israeli security officials said. Suspicion fell on radical Jewish settlers angry over the looming demolition of an unsanctioned settler enclave.

By July 1, the government has committed to destroying 30 apartments built illegally on privately owned Palestinian land. Acts of vandalism against Palestinian property have been expected ahead of that date, because radical settlers routinely attack Palestinian targets in retaliation for government settlement policy they oppose.

Former AT&T employee admits he leaked information about iPhone, BlackBerry sales

Today is not a good day for?Alnoor Ebrahim. He?s a 57-year-old U.S. citizen born in Tanzania who used to work for AT&T and has just been sentenced to up to two years in prison for illegally sharing secrets regarding Apple and RIM?s sales numbers.

In a Manhattan court room, Ebrahim pleaded guilty to selling insider information about the iPhone and BlackBerry devices. ?I provided insider information concerning AT&T?s sales of Apple?s iPhone and RIM?s Blackberry products, as well as other handset devices sold through AT&T distribution channels,? he confessed to?U.S. District Judge Paul Oetken.

Ebrahim was part of a network in which employees of firms such as Primary Global Research, in this case, would aid in the transmission of company secrets to gain extra cash. He?s being charged with one count of?conspiracy to commit wire and securities fraud and the aforementioned recommended sentence by prosecutors of a maximum of two years behind bars.

The former AT&T employee?s actions didn?t draw kind words from a company spokesman. ?We took this matter very seriously and cooperated fully with the authorities,? said Marty Richtman representing AT&T. ?The conduct alleged was clearly against our code of business conduct.?

Alnoor Ebrahim is only the very latest in a number of people being targeted recently in the U.S. government?s effort to double down on punishment for insider trading. A former Goldman Sachs board member, Rajat Gupta, was convicted on Friday of leaking company information and faces up to 25 years in the slammer.

New Geology articles posted online ahead of print June 15

Boulder, Colo., USA This posting: Orange-like rocks in Utah with iron-oxide rinds and fossilized bacteria inside that are believed to have eaten the interior rock material, plus noted similarities to "bacterial meal" ingredients and rock types on Mars; fine-tuning the prediction of volcanic hazards and warning systems for both high population zones and at Tristan da Cunha, home to the most remote population on Earth; news from SAFOD; and discovery in Germany of the world's oldest known mosses.


Biosignatures link microorganisms to iron mineralization in a paleoaquifer
Karrie A. Weber et al., School of Biological Sciences, University of Nebraska, Lincoln, Nebraska 68588, USA. Posted online 15 June 2012; doi: 10.1130/G33062.1.

Iron oxide rocks in an ancient aquifer give scientists clues about where to look for past life on Mars and other planets, including Earth. Scientists at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and University of Western Australia have been studying rocks in Utah that resemble an orange with an iron cemented rind and an interior that consists of glued sand. These rocks formed millions of years ago in an ancient aquifer. Using microscopic methods, Karrie Weber and colleagues found tiny fossilized bacteria inside of these rocks, along with evidence corroborating that the bacteria were once alive inside the rock. Weber and colleagues think that these bacteria "ate" the iron in the rock to form the iron oxide mineral-rich rind. All of the ingredients for a bacterial meal exist on Mars and other areas on Earth. This has led the Weber and colleagues to theorize that similar iron-rich rocks could have been formed by bacteria and could still be forming today. The scientists are continuing to study how bacteria form rocks below Earth's surface so to better understand the conditions that support life and the signatures that life leaves behind. This research is supported by the University of Nebraska Research Office and Nebraska Tobacco Settlement Fund.


Relationship between dike and volcanic conduit distribution in a highly eroded monogenetic volcanic field: San Rafael, Utah, USA
Koji Kiyosugi et al., Dept. of Geology, University of South Florida, 4202 East Fowler Avenue, Tampa, Florida 33620, USA. Posted online 15 June 2012; doi: 10.1130/G33074.1.

Cities like Auckland (NZ) and Mexico City are located within active volcanic fields, where new volcanoes will likely form in the future, creating a wide range of hazards. Where will these volcanoes form and what warning will residents have of impending eruptions? The geologic record preserved in old volcanic fields helps address this question. Koji Kiyosugi and colleagues studied magmatic system below an extinct volcanic field: the San Rafael subvolcanic field in Utah, USA. Below volcanoes, intrusive magma bodies formed before and during volcanic eruptions create vertical pipes (conduits) and vertical and horizontal sheets (dikes and sills, respectively). It is possible to observe these features of the magmatic system in great detail in this eroded volcanic field. Kiyosugi and colleagues mapped 63 conduits, ~2000 dike segments, and 12 sill complexes in the San Rafael. They find that the distribution of volcano conduits matches the major features of dike distribution, including development of clusters and distribution of outliers. These statistical models are then applied to the distributions of volcanoes in several recently active volcanic fields, where the distribution of intrusive magma bodies must be inferred from very sparse data. This comparison supports the use of statistical models in probabilistic hazard assessment for distributed volcanism.


Tristan da Cunha: Constraining eruptive behavior using the 40Ar/39Ar dating technique
Anna Hicks et al., Dept. of Environmental Sciences, University of East Anglia, Norwich Research Park, Norwich, Norfolk NR4 7TJ, UK. Posted online 15 June 2012; doi: 10.1130/G33059.1.

Tristan da Cunha (South Atlantic) is an active volcano and home to the most remote population in the world. The volcano last erupted in 1961, forcing the temporary evacuation of all 261 islanders. In an attempt to constrain eruptive behavior and better anticipate likely future activity, new 40Ar/39Ar ages were measured on 15 rock samples, carefully selected to reflect possible temporal correlations between eruptive style, composition, or vent location. All sample sites were precisely dated, including a very young deposit (3,000 plus or minus 1,000 years old). Results revealed no spatio-temporal pattern to activity at parasitic cones and recent volcanism from these eruptive centers varies in style, volume, and composition with time. Timing of a large-scale sector collapse was constrained to a 14,000-year window, and ages showed that the northern sector of the edifice was built very rapidly. It seems likely that the entire edifice was constructed piecemeal and has a far more complex evolution that previously assumed. Of particular significance to hazard assessment is the discovery that the summit was contemporaneously active with recent activity on the flanks and inhabited low lying coastal strips. The results present significant uncertainty in terms of anticipating future eruptive scenarios, and reflect the necessity for effective risk reduction measures on Tristan.


Bubble geobarometry: A record of pressure changes, degassing, and regassing at Mono Craters, California
James M. Watkins et al., Dept. of Earth and Planetary Science, University of California, Berkeley, California 94720-4767, USA. Posted online 15 June 2012; doi: 10.1130/G33027.1.

Obsidian, natural volcanic glass, is one of the most recognizable rocks on Earth's surface. Obsidian exhibits a wide range in textures that record volcanic processes. For example, flow bands in obsidian and healed fractures provide field evidence that lava can break and then heal (like silly putty) in volcanic feeder systems. The orientation of bubbles and microscopic crystals can be used to infer obsidian flow dynamics and the timing and rates of crystallization. In this study, James M. Watkins and colleagues use new measurements on bubbles in obsidian to infer the pressure history of rising magma. Unlike bubbles that grow in an open can of soda, bubbles in magma can both grow and shrink as they rise toward Earth's surface. The study shows, for the first time, that the glass around bubbles preserves a record of physical changes in the magma feeder system prior to eruption. The measurements thus offer a new probe for inferring volcanic processes that are inaccessible to direct observation


Frictional properties and sliding stability of the San Andreas fault from deep drill core
B.M. Carpenter et al., Dept. of Geosciences and Energy Institute Center for Geomechanics, Geofluids, and Geohazards, Pennsylvania State University, University Park, Pennsylvania 16802, USA. Posted online 15 June 2012; doi: 10.1130/G33007.1.

Experimental studies on samples collected from the actively slipping San Andreas Fault, as part of San Andreas Fault Observatory at Depth (SAFOD) drilling in central California, USA, have provided important new insights into the mechanics and slip behavior of the fault at depth. B.M. Carpenter and colleagues report, for the first time, on the frictional properties of intact fault rock samples recovered from seismogenic depths. Their results explain several fundamental and longstanding observations along the San Andreas fault, including (1) the inferred extreme mechanical weakness and creeping behavior of the active fault in central California; (2) the occurrence and observed stress drop of repeating micro-earthquakes on faults to the northeast of the actively creeping fault strand; and (3) highly localized fault weakness, as documented by an extraordinarily sharp transition from frictionally weak fault rock within the main creeping strand of the San Andreas fault to stronger wall rock more than a mile away.


Subsidence of the West Siberian Basin: Effects of a mantle plume impact
Peter J. Holt et al., Geospatial Research Ltd., Durham University, Durham DH1 3LE, UK. Posted online 15 June 2012; doi: 10.1130/G32885.1.

Comparison of computer modeling results with the observed subsidence patterns from the West Siberian Basin provides new insight into the origin of the Siberian Traps flood basalts and constrains the temperature, size, and depth of an impacting mantle plume head during and after the eruption of the Siberian Traps at the Permian-Triassic boundary (250 million years ago). Peter J. Holt and colleagues compare subsidence patterns from a one-dimensional model of conductive heat flow to observed subsidence calculated from studies of the sediments in the basin. This results in a best-fit scenario with a 50-km-thick initial plume head with a temperature of 1500 degrees Celsius situated 50 km below the surface, and an initial regional crustal thickness of 34 km, which is in agreement with published values. The observed subsidence and modeling results agree very well, including a 60-90-million-year delay between the eruption of the flood basalts and the first regional sedimentation. These results reemphasize the viability of a mantle plume origin for the Siberian Traps, provide important constraints on the dynamics of mantle plume heads, and suggest a thermal control for the subsidence of the West Siberian Basin.


The relationship between surface kinematics and deformation of the whole lithosphere
L. Flesch and R. Bendick, Dept. of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, Purdue University, 550 Stadium Mall Drive, West Lafayette, Indiana 47907-2051, USA. Posted online 15 June 2012; doi: 10.1130/G33269.1.

There has been a proliferation of geoscience research efforts over the past decade because of the new understanding of how the surface of the continents are moving using GPS surface observations. This data has been used either to asses forward numerical models of lithospheric or constrain inversions for the dynamics of continents to identify the forces driving the observed deformation. Such efforts inherently assume that information about dynamics is efficiently transferred from lithospheric depths to the surface. This is indisputably the case for oceanic lithosphere, but L. Flesch and R. Bendick show that it applies only in a limited subset of the plausible mechanical strength configurations for continents. Making such an assumption in other cases results in unreasonable conclusions about either the mechanical properties of the lithosphere or incorrectly complicated heterogeneous balance of forces.


Variability in the length of the sea ice season in the Middle Eocene Arctic
Catherine E. Stickley et al., Dept. of Geology, University of Troms, N-9037 Troms, Norway. Posted online 15 June 2012; doi: 10.1130/G32976.1.

Finely laminated marine sediments of middle Eocene age (about 45 million years old) are preserved along the Lomonosov Ridge in the central Arctic. These sediments comprise two main components: (1) those indicative of sea ice (fossil species of the delicate, sea ice-dwelling diatom Synedropsis spp.[siliceous microfossils]) and sea ice-rafted debris (sea ice-IRD); and (2) those indicative of open marine conditions (e.g., other diatom taxa and siliceous microfossil types). Their coexistence strongly implies seasonality, but to know with certainty, the annual flux cycle must be reconstructed. For the first time, Catherine E. Stickley and colleagues use a non-destructive technique to resolve and reconstruct seasonal-scale flux events from these sediments. They reveal discrete productivity-flux events at ultra-high (e.g., about 30 microns) resolution and show that seasonality is expressed at the submillimeter scale by successions of discrete mono-specific laminae and micro-lenses of Synedropsis species, of sea ice-IRD, and of open-water taxa. These findings indicate that first-year winter sea ice existed in the Arctic during the middle Eocene. A preliminary assessment of annual cycles shows that suborbital variability existed on the order of multi-decadal to centennial duration. Stickley and colleagues argue that this reflects variations in the sea ice season length. Past records at such time scales are especially important because they may reveal patterns of Earth system behavior of direct relevance to modern observations of Arctic change.


Oldest known mosses discovered in Mississippian (late Visean) strata of Germany
Maren Hbers and Hans Kerp, Forschungsstelle fr Palobotanik, Institut fr Geologie und Palontologie, Westflische Wilhelms-Universitt Mnster, Schlossplatz 9,48143 Mnster, Germany. Posted online 15 June 2012; doi: 10.1130/G33122.1.

Today bryophytes, with about 20,000 species of hornworts, liverworts, and mosses, are the most diverse group of non-vascular land plants. Mosses are important constituents of terrestrial ecosystems, from the tropics to the high latitudes. In many modern wetland ecosystems, mosses play a major role in nutrient cycling and water storage. Molecular clock data indicate that mosses appeared before the first vascular land plants, but their fossil record is extremely poor. Carboniferous wetland environments, with their unequaled accumulation of plant biomass, likely provided ideal habitats for mosses. Coal floras have been studied in great detail, but the fossil record of Carboniferous mosses is remarkably meager, though it should be noted that mosses are often difficult to recognize. Three types of mosses showing cellular preservation have now been identified from approx. 330 million-year-old rocks from eastern Germany. These are the oldest unequivocal mosses known to date, and even though the remains are small, they demonstrate that mosses formed part of Carboniferous ecosystems. The moss fossils were obtained from organic residues after whole-rock samples had been dissolved. This method, which is now rarely used for studying Carboniferous flora, may reveal that mosses were more widespread than commonly thought.


A detailed record of shallow hydrothermal fluid flow in the Sierra Nevada magmatic arc from low-delta-18O skarn garnets
Megan E. D'Errico et al., Dept. of Geology, Trinity University, San Antonio, Texas 78212, USA. Posted online 15 June 2012; doi: 10.1130/G33008.1.

Garnet from skarns exposed at Empire Mountain, Sierra Nevada (California, USA) batholith have variable delta-18O values, including the lowest known delta-18O values of skarn garnet in North America. Such values indicate that surface-derived meteoric water was a significant component of the fluid budget of the skarn-forming hydrothermal system, which developed in response to shallow emplacement (~3.3 km) of the 109 million year old quartz diorite of Empire Mountain. Brecciation in the skarns and alteration of the Empire Mountain pluton suggests that fracture-enhanced permeability was a critical control on the depth to which surface waters penetrated to form skarns and later alter the pluton. Compared to other Sierran systems, much greater volumes of skarn rock suggest an exceptionally vigorous hydrothermal system that saw unusually high levels of decarbonation reaction progress, likely a consequence of the magma intruding relatively cold wall rocks inboard of the main locus of magmatism in the Sierran arc at that time.


The influence of a mantle plume head on the dynamics of a retreating subduction zone
Peter G. Betts et al., School of Geosciences, Monash University, Clayton, VIC 3800, Australia. Posted online 15 June 2012; doi: 10.1130/G32909.1.

Earth subduction zones are where two geological plates of the outer Earth converge and the dense ocean crust sinks into the mantle. Subduction zones form an important component of mantle convection. Mantle plumes are hot buoyant material that rises from deep in the interior of the Earth and interact with the Earth's crust. When plumes interact with ocean crust they can form large areas of buoyant ocean floor topography. Subduction zones can migrate backward and interact with mantle plumes, causing the subduction zone to change behavior. Peter G. Betts and colleagues modeled this geological situation and have discovered that subduction zone/plume interactions can cause massive geological damage at the edges of plates. The buoyant plume head hinders subduction and causes the subduction zone to migrate forward causing intense deformation in the adjacent geological plate. The subducting oceanic plate is also damaged and large tears can form allowing the plume to migrate across plate boundaries. The Yellowstone hotspot may be an ancient example of this process.

New Geology articles posted online ahead of print June 15

Boulder, Colo., USA This posting: Orange-like rocks in Utah with iron-oxide rinds and fossilized bacteria inside that are believed to have eaten the interior rock material, plus noted similarities to "bacterial meal" ingredients and rock types on Mars; fine-tuning the prediction of volcanic hazards and warning systems for both high population zones and at Tristan da Cunha, home to the most remote population on Earth; news from SAFOD; and discovery in Germany of the world's oldest known mosses.


Biosignatures link microorganisms to iron mineralization in a paleoaquifer
Karrie A. Weber et al., School of Biological Sciences, University of Nebraska, Lincoln, Nebraska 68588, USA. Posted online 15 June 2012; doi: 10.1130/G33062.1.

Iron oxide rocks in an ancient aquifer give scientists clues about where to look for past life on Mars and other planets, including Earth. Scientists at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and University of Western Australia have been studying rocks in Utah that resemble an orange with an iron cemented rind and an interior that consists of glued sand. These rocks formed millions of years ago in an ancient aquifer. Using microscopic methods, Karrie Weber and colleagues found tiny fossilized bacteria inside of these rocks, along with evidence corroborating that the bacteria were once alive inside the rock. Weber and colleagues think that these bacteria "ate" the iron in the rock to form the iron oxide mineral-rich rind. All of the ingredients for a bacterial meal exist on Mars and other areas on Earth. This has led the Weber and colleagues to theorize that similar iron-rich rocks could have been formed by bacteria and could still be forming today. The scientists are continuing to study how bacteria form rocks below Earth's surface so to better understand the conditions that support life and the signatures that life leaves behind. This research is supported by the University of Nebraska Research Office and Nebraska Tobacco Settlement Fund.


Relationship between dike and volcanic conduit distribution in a highly eroded monogenetic volcanic field: San Rafael, Utah, USA
Koji Kiyosugi et al., Dept. of Geology, University of South Florida, 4202 East Fowler Avenue, Tampa, Florida 33620, USA. Posted online 15 June 2012; doi: 10.1130/G33074.1.

Cities like Auckland (NZ) and Mexico City are located within active volcanic fields, where new volcanoes will likely form in the future, creating a wide range of hazards. Where will these volcanoes form and what warning will residents have of impending eruptions? The geologic record preserved in old volcanic fields helps address this question. Koji Kiyosugi and colleagues studied magmatic system below an extinct volcanic field: the San Rafael subvolcanic field in Utah, USA. Below volcanoes, intrusive magma bodies formed before and during volcanic eruptions create vertical pipes (conduits) and vertical and horizontal sheets (dikes and sills, respectively). It is possible to observe these features of the magmatic system in great detail in this eroded volcanic field. Kiyosugi and colleagues mapped 63 conduits, ~2000 dike segments, and 12 sill complexes in the San Rafael. They find that the distribution of volcano conduits matches the major features of dike distribution, including development of clusters and distribution of outliers. These statistical models are then applied to the distributions of volcanoes in several recently active volcanic fields, where the distribution of intrusive magma bodies must be inferred from very sparse data. This comparison supports the use of statistical models in probabilistic hazard assessment for distributed volcanism.


Tristan da Cunha: Constraining eruptive behavior using the 40Ar/39Ar dating technique
Anna Hicks et al., Dept. of Environmental Sciences, University of East Anglia, Norwich Research Park, Norwich, Norfolk NR4 7TJ, UK. Posted online 15 June 2012; doi: 10.1130/G33059.1.

Tristan da Cunha (South Atlantic) is an active volcano and home to the most remote population in the world. The volcano last erupted in 1961, forcing the temporary evacuation of all 261 islanders. In an attempt to constrain eruptive behavior and better anticipate likely future activity, new 40Ar/39Ar ages were measured on 15 rock samples, carefully selected to reflect possible temporal correlations between eruptive style, composition, or vent location. All sample sites were precisely dated, including a very young deposit (3,000 plus or minus 1,000 years old). Results revealed no spatio-temporal pattern to activity at parasitic cones and recent volcanism from these eruptive centers varies in style, volume, and composition with time. Timing of a large-scale sector collapse was constrained to a 14,000-year window, and ages showed that the northern sector of the edifice was built very rapidly. It seems likely that the entire edifice was constructed piecemeal and has a far more complex evolution that previously assumed. Of particular significance to hazard assessment is the discovery that the summit was contemporaneously active with recent activity on the flanks and inhabited low lying coastal strips. The results present significant uncertainty in terms of anticipating future eruptive scenarios, and reflect the necessity for effective risk reduction measures on Tristan.


Bubble geobarometry: A record of pressure changes, degassing, and regassing at Mono Craters, California
James M. Watkins et al., Dept. of Earth and Planetary Science, University of California, Berkeley, California 94720-4767, USA. Posted online 15 June 2012; doi: 10.1130/G33027.1.

Obsidian, natural volcanic glass, is one of the most recognizable rocks on Earth's surface. Obsidian exhibits a wide range in textures that record volcanic processes. For example, flow bands in obsidian and healed fractures provide field evidence that lava can break and then heal (like silly putty) in volcanic feeder systems. The orientation of bubbles and microscopic crystals can be used to infer obsidian flow dynamics and the timing and rates of crystallization. In this study, James M. Watkins and colleagues use new measurements on bubbles in obsidian to infer the pressure history of rising magma. Unlike bubbles that grow in an open can of soda, bubbles in magma can both grow and shrink as they rise toward Earth's surface. The study shows, for the first time, that the glass around bubbles preserves a record of physical changes in the magma feeder system prior to eruption. The measurements thus offer a new probe for inferring volcanic processes that are inaccessible to direct observation


Frictional properties and sliding stability of the San Andreas fault from deep drill core
B.M. Carpenter et al., Dept. of Geosciences and Energy Institute Center for Geomechanics, Geofluids, and Geohazards, Pennsylvania State University, University Park, Pennsylvania 16802, USA. Posted online 15 June 2012; doi: 10.1130/G33007.1.

Experimental studies on samples collected from the actively slipping San Andreas Fault, as part of San Andreas Fault Observatory at Depth (SAFOD) drilling in central California, USA, have provided important new insights into the mechanics and slip behavior of the fault at depth. B.M. Carpenter and colleagues report, for the first time, on the frictional properties of intact fault rock samples recovered from seismogenic depths. Their results explain several fundamental and longstanding observations along the San Andreas fault, including (1) the inferred extreme mechanical weakness and creeping behavior of the active fault in central California; (2) the occurrence and observed stress drop of repeating micro-earthquakes on faults to the northeast of the actively creeping fault strand; and (3) highly localized fault weakness, as documented by an extraordinarily sharp transition from frictionally weak fault rock within the main creeping strand of the San Andreas fault to stronger wall rock more than a mile away.


Subsidence of the West Siberian Basin: Effects of a mantle plume impact
Peter J. Holt et al., Geospatial Research Ltd., Durham University, Durham DH1 3LE, UK. Posted online 15 June 2012; doi: 10.1130/G32885.1.

Comparison of computer modeling results with the observed subsidence patterns from the West Siberian Basin provides new insight into the origin of the Siberian Traps flood basalts and constrains the temperature, size, and depth of an impacting mantle plume head during and after the eruption of the Siberian Traps at the Permian-Triassic boundary (250 million years ago). Peter J. Holt and colleagues compare subsidence patterns from a one-dimensional model of conductive heat flow to observed subsidence calculated from studies of the sediments in the basin. This results in a best-fit scenario with a 50-km-thick initial plume head with a temperature of 1500 degrees Celsius situated 50 km below the surface, and an initial regional crustal thickness of 34 km, which is in agreement with published values. The observed subsidence and modeling results agree very well, including a 60-90-million-year delay between the eruption of the flood basalts and the first regional sedimentation. These results reemphasize the viability of a mantle plume origin for the Siberian Traps, provide important constraints on the dynamics of mantle plume heads, and suggest a thermal control for the subsidence of the West Siberian Basin.


The relationship between surface kinematics and deformation of the whole lithosphere
L. Flesch and R. Bendick, Dept. of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, Purdue University, 550 Stadium Mall Drive, West Lafayette, Indiana 47907-2051, USA. Posted online 15 June 2012; doi: 10.1130/G33269.1.

There has been a proliferation of geoscience research efforts over the past decade because of the new understanding of how the surface of the continents are moving using GPS surface observations. This data has been used either to asses forward numerical models of lithospheric or constrain inversions for the dynamics of continents to identify the forces driving the observed deformation. Such efforts inherently assume that information about dynamics is efficiently transferred from lithospheric depths to the surface. This is indisputably the case for oceanic lithosphere, but L. Flesch and R. Bendick show that it applies only in a limited subset of the plausible mechanical strength configurations for continents. Making such an assumption in other cases results in unreasonable conclusions about either the mechanical properties of the lithosphere or incorrectly complicated heterogeneous balance of forces.


Variability in the length of the sea ice season in the Middle Eocene Arctic
Catherine E. Stickley et al., Dept. of Geology, University of Troms, N-9037 Troms, Norway. Posted online 15 June 2012; doi: 10.1130/G32976.1.

Finely laminated marine sediments of middle Eocene age (about 45 million years old) are preserved along the Lomonosov Ridge in the central Arctic. These sediments comprise two main components: (1) those indicative of sea ice (fossil species of the delicate, sea ice-dwelling diatom Synedropsis spp.[siliceous microfossils]) and sea ice-rafted debris (sea ice-IRD); and (2) those indicative of open marine conditions (e.g., other diatom taxa and siliceous microfossil types). Their coexistence strongly implies seasonality, but to know with certainty, the annual flux cycle must be reconstructed. For the first time, Catherine E. Stickley and colleagues use a non-destructive technique to resolve and reconstruct seasonal-scale flux events from these sediments. They reveal discrete productivity-flux events at ultra-high (e.g., about 30 microns) resolution and show that seasonality is expressed at the submillimeter scale by successions of discrete mono-specific laminae and micro-lenses of Synedropsis species, of sea ice-IRD, and of open-water taxa. These findings indicate that first-year winter sea ice existed in the Arctic during the middle Eocene. A preliminary assessment of annual cycles shows that suborbital variability existed on the order of multi-decadal to centennial duration. Stickley and colleagues argue that this reflects variations in the sea ice season length. Past records at such time scales are especially important because they may reveal patterns of Earth system behavior of direct relevance to modern observations of Arctic change.


Oldest known mosses discovered in Mississippian (late Visean) strata of Germany
Maren Hbers and Hans Kerp, Forschungsstelle fr Palobotanik, Institut fr Geologie und Palontologie, Westflische Wilhelms-Universitt Mnster, Schlossplatz 9,48143 Mnster, Germany. Posted online 15 June 2012; doi: 10.1130/G33122.1.

Today bryophytes, with about 20,000 species of hornworts, liverworts, and mosses, are the most diverse group of non-vascular land plants. Mosses are important constituents of terrestrial ecosystems, from the tropics to the high latitudes. In many modern wetland ecosystems, mosses play a major role in nutrient cycling and water storage. Molecular clock data indicate that mosses appeared before the first vascular land plants, but their fossil record is extremely poor. Carboniferous wetland environments, with their unequaled accumulation of plant biomass, likely provided ideal habitats for mosses. Coal floras have been studied in great detail, but the fossil record of Carboniferous mosses is remarkably meager, though it should be noted that mosses are often difficult to recognize. Three types of mosses showing cellular preservation have now been identified from approx. 330 million-year-old rocks from eastern Germany. These are the oldest unequivocal mosses known to date, and even though the remains are small, they demonstrate that mosses formed part of Carboniferous ecosystems. The moss fossils were obtained from organic residues after whole-rock samples had been dissolved. This method, which is now rarely used for studying Carboniferous flora, may reveal that mosses were more widespread than commonly thought.


A detailed record of shallow hydrothermal fluid flow in the Sierra Nevada magmatic arc from low-delta-18O skarn garnets
Megan E. D'Errico et al., Dept. of Geology, Trinity University, San Antonio, Texas 78212, USA. Posted online 15 June 2012; doi: 10.1130/G33008.1.

Garnet from skarns exposed at Empire Mountain, Sierra Nevada (California, USA) batholith have variable delta-18O values, including the lowest known delta-18O values of skarn garnet in North America. Such values indicate that surface-derived meteoric water was a significant component of the fluid budget of the skarn-forming hydrothermal system, which developed in response to shallow emplacement (~3.3 km) of the 109 million year old quartz diorite of Empire Mountain. Brecciation in the skarns and alteration of the Empire Mountain pluton suggests that fracture-enhanced permeability was a critical control on the depth to which surface waters penetrated to form skarns and later alter the pluton. Compared to other Sierran systems, much greater volumes of skarn rock suggest an exceptionally vigorous hydrothermal system that saw unusually high levels of decarbonation reaction progress, likely a consequence of the magma intruding relatively cold wall rocks inboard of the main locus of magmatism in the Sierran arc at that time.


The influence of a mantle plume head on the dynamics of a retreating subduction zone
Peter G. Betts et al., School of Geosciences, Monash University, Clayton, VIC 3800, Australia. Posted online 15 June 2012; doi: 10.1130/G32909.1.

Earth subduction zones are where two geological plates of the outer Earth converge and the dense ocean crust sinks into the mantle. Subduction zones form an important component of mantle convection. Mantle plumes are hot buoyant material that rises from deep in the interior of the Earth and interact with the Earth's crust. When plumes interact with ocean crust they can form large areas of buoyant ocean floor topography. Subduction zones can migrate backward and interact with mantle plumes, causing the subduction zone to change behavior. Peter G. Betts and colleagues modeled this geological situation and have discovered that subduction zone/plume interactions can cause massive geological damage at the edges of plates. The buoyant plume head hinders subduction and causes the subduction zone to migrate forward causing intense deformation in the adjacent geological plate. The subducting oceanic plate is also damaged and large tears can form allowing the plume to migrate across plate boundaries. The Yellowstone hotspot may be an ancient example of this process.

Bobcats make surprising choice for new coach

By Steve Reed, The Associated Press

Updated

The Charlotte Bobcats have hired St. John's assistant Mike Dunlap to be their new head coach, two people familiar with the decision said.

  • St. John's assistant coach Mike Dunlap was hired by the Charlotte Bobcats on Monday, The Charlotte Observer reported.

    St. John's assistant coach Mike Dunlap was hired by the Charlotte Bobcats on Monday, The Charlotte Observer reported.

By Mel Evans, AP

St. John's assistant coach Mike Dunlap was hired by the Charlotte Bobcats on Monday, The Charlotte Observer reported.

?

The people spoke on condition of anonymity Monday because an official announcement was still being planned for the next two days.

The Charlotte Observer first reported the news.

The choice comes as a bit of a surprise because Dunlap was not one of the team's three finalists and rejoined the picture late.

He was originally one of the 10 candidates to interview for the job, but the team trimmed the list to former Utah coach Jerry Sloan, Indiana assistant coach Brian Shaw and Los Angeles Lakers assistant coach Quin Snyder last week.

At some point Dunlap re-entered the picture and was offered and accepted the job Monday night.

A text message sent to Dunlap was not immediately returned.

Dunlap, 54, will replace Paul Silas, whose contract was not renewed after Charlotte finished with the worst winning percentage in NBA history this past season. The Bobcats were 7-59.

A former assistant coach with the Denver Nuggets, Dunlap assumed all duties with the St. John's program after head coach Steve Lavin took a leave of absence to deal with prostate cancer.

Dunlap has spent most of his career at the college level and has worked under Lute Olson in Arizona.

He joined St. John's after serving as the associate head coach on Pac-10 staffs at Arizona and Oregon.

Arizona went 21-14 in 2008-09, advancing to the NCAA tournament's Sweet 16 before ending the season with a loss to top-seeded Louisville in the NCAA Midwest Regional semifinals. Dunlap joined Oregon's staff in 2009-10, and the Ducks posted a 16-16 record.

Prior to working at Arizona and Oregon, Dunlap spent two seasons in the NBA with the Nuggets working under head coach George Karl.

The Nuggets compiled a 95-69 (.579) record during his tenure and made two playoff appearances, including a 50-win season for the 2007-08 Denver squad, a first for the organization in 23 seasons.

Early in his career, Dunlap also served as an assistant coach at Southern California under George Raveling, and as an assistant coach at Iowa. He also spent five years as an assistant at his alma mater, Loyola Marymount University.

In between, he spent 10 years at Metropolitan State College of Denver.
