Ohio officials awarded brownfield remediation grants this week to local authorities and land banks in multiple communities, including Steubenville, Trumbull County, and North Lewisburg. The Ohio Department of Development announced $15.5 million in funding to support environmental assessments, remediation work, and related site-preparation activities at former service stations and industrial properties.

Steubenville's Jefferson County Port Authority will use $45,800 for soil sampling, groundwater monitoring wells, and environmental assessment at a former service station; Trumbull County's Land Reutilization Corporation received $63,771 for a Phase II assessment, and Champaign County's Sycamore Street project in North Lewisburg secured $299,347 for tank removal and demolition to ready parcels for redevelopment.

Earth’s Shape Accelerates Toward Roundness

Tap title to read story

New research shows Earth’s solid surface is becoming rounder faster as polar ice melts. The study, published in the journal JGR Solid Earth, used Global Navigation Satellite System data to measure surface motion. Between 2011 and 2015, polar uplift averaged about 0.02 to 0.04 inches per year, while the equatorial bulge contracted at a similar rate. The rate of change has accelerated compared to 1997‑2000, with each decade seeing a 0.01‑inch increase in polar uplift and a 0.02‑inch increase in equatorial contraction. These minuscule shifts, driven by melting glaciers, indicate a measurable, hastening increase in Earth’s roundness.
