The weird musical dynamics of a lava lake on Kilauea volcano
New research from UO earth scientists reveals how the dynamics of the lava lake, along with deformation of ground around it, encode the signature of migrating volcanic gases and changing magma temperature in the shallow plumbing system of the volcano.

A 'social' gene in fish could contain new clues to autism
In humans, mutations in the EGR1 gene or 'social' gene have been linked to mental health conditions like schizophrenia and depression . A mutation in that gene snuffs out this social behavior in zebrafish, researchers at UO find.
