Protective Yet Flexible Design of Carp Scales

Recently reported research demonstrates how astonishingly helpful scales are to fish—such as the common carp (Cyprinus carpio), whose scales blend armor-like protection with flexibility needed for underwater mobility.1,2

The carp scales research is published in the journal Matter,1 and has been briefed in Science Daily.2


Deep Earthquakes Provide Insight into Global Flood

A new analysis of thousands of deep earthquakes has revealed several large structures at the base of the mantle.1 Known as ultra-low velocity zones, these structures may give us better insight into the origins of hot spots which produced the Hawaiian Islands during the Flood year.


Noisy Narwhals in Greenland’s Frigid Fjords

Recently, after audio-recording underwater in Greenland’s fjords, two geoscientists published research on vocalizations made by narwhals.


Young Coral Reefs, Quick-Growing at Low-Sunlight Depths

Recent research surprises those who study coral reefs, especially those who assume that they grow slowly.1,2

To the surprise of old-earth evolutionists, these findings reveal that reef ages do not conflict with relatively young biblical chronology timeframes.


Strange Ocean Crust Waves Discovered
