Scientists found evidence that a region of northern Mars called Arabia Terra experienced thousands of “super eruptions,” the biggest volcanic eruptions known, over a 500-million-year…
Lava samples have revealed a new truth about the geological make-up of the Earth’s crust and could have implications for volcanic eruption early warning systems,…
Sitting more than five times the distance from the Sun as Earth, Jupiter is not expected to be particularly warm. Based on the amount of…
A 170 m record of marine sediment cores extracted from Adélie Land in Antarctica by the Integrated Ocean Drilling Programme is yielding new insights into…
Scientists have uncovered a fascinating new insight into what caused one of the most rapid and dramatic instances of climate change in the history of…
Extensive chains of volcanoes have been responsible for both emitting and then removing atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), stabilizing temperatures at Earth’s surface. An international research…
Water “blisters” trapped beneath the thick interior of Greenland’s ice sheet could provide critical insight into the hydrological network coursing deep below Earth’s second largest…
Mars scientists have long suspected that the Red Planet, which was once warm and wet like Earth, has lost most of its water to outer…
Weizmann Institute scientists reveal how gigantic cyclones remain stable at both of Jupiter’s poles. Until recently, before NASA’s Juno space probe entered its orbit around…
And provides top-ten list of countries at highest risk — and likely most equipped to immediately begin pollution risk reduction. A new analysis of global…
Scientists say it is extremely challenging to try and predict when a supervolcano might erupt again due to the sheer diversity of events that have…
Nitrogen isotopes reveal that stratification of Arctic waters will prevent surface plankton from receiving enough nutrients to grow abundantly. As the North Pole, the Arctic…
Scientists at the University of Southampton have discovered that extensive chains of volcanoes have been responsible for both emitting and then removing atmospheric carbon dioxide…
By combining observations from three international spacecraft at Mars, scientists were able to show that regional dust storms play a huge role in drying out…
A new study led by the University of Colorado Boulder reveals the complex history behind one of the Grand Canyon’s most well-known geologic features: A…
PhD student discovers that solar radiation could be a more important source of lunar iron nanoparticles than previously thought. Tiny iron nanoparticles unlike any found…
Researchers map the geothermal heat flow in West Antarctica; a new potential weak spot in the ice sheet’s stability is identified. Ice losses from Thwaites…
Two hundred fifty-two million years ago, much of life on planet Earth was dying. In an event that marked the end of the Permian period,…
