Scientific Frontline
Scientific Frontline#Supervolcanoes are distinct #thermodynamic entities defined by the explosive ejection of over 1,000 cubic kilometers of bulk deposits (VEI 8) and the subsequent formation of massive #calderas through crustal collapse rather than edifice construction. There's no doom and gloom here, you might just as well relax a bit.

Scientific FrontlineResearchers identified a "winter memory" mechanism in #plants involving protein clusters (VIN3 and VRN5) that double in size during cold conditions and persist after warming to trigger spring flowering.
