A landmark discovery reveals vast geological layers that formed in reverse from their natural position. How does this stratigraphic reversal affect carbon storage and energy infrastructure?
At the bottom of the North Sea, under hundreds of meters of water, are hidden extraordinary geological formations that defy the known rules of stratigraphy. These vast mounds of sand, which scientists now call "sinkites", have intrigued the researchers for years. Recently, an international team has revealed the surprising origin of [...]
The Earth’s Layers Have Been Flipped in This Place
The North Sea, a region known for its rich history and vital role in energy production, holds a surprising geological anomaly. A study led by scientists from the University of Manchester has uncovered a phenomenon where the typical process of geologic layering is reversed. Known as stratigraphic inversion, this discovery challenges our fundamental understanding of how Earth’s layers are formed. A Geologic Puzzle Beneath the Sea Normally, younger…
