New research suggests that cloud “engineering” might be more effective at cooling the climate than previously believed, due to the production of increased cloud cover….
Common causes have the potential to overturn previous understandings. Sand ripples are fascinating. They are symmetrical yet wind, which causes them, is very much not….
A new study significantly reduces uncertainty about cloud impact on global warming, finding anvil clouds less influential than expected. New analysis based on simple equations…
Scientists from China and Japan have identified unique features of the flow field in the lower mantle. Through their study of seismic anisotropy in the…
A team of scientists from EPFL and Charles University in Prague have discovered that microbial life is set to thrive in mountain streams, as a…
Saturn’s largest moon rains and snows ethane, methane, and fancier organic compounds. On the ground, accumulated chunks may calve like glaciers at the edges of…
A 400-million-year evolutionary history. Euglenoids, a unique group of single-celled protists, occupy a mysterious niche, being neither fully plant nor animal. Unlike plants that solely…
New research has uncovered the process behind the formation of unique magmatic rocks on the Moon, shedding light on their distinct composition and how they…
The East Coast of the U.S. is sinking, impacting major cities and infrastructure, with a significant population at risk. A new study calls for urgent…
Researchers from Heidelberg and Karlsruhe use stalagmite for the reconstruction of regional and global climatic history. Tree-ring data, when integrated with information from stalagmites, has…
A new report in Nature Geoscience has brought to light the challenge of air pollution levels in Africa and why international action is needed to…
Researchers from China University of Petroleum (Beijing) offer a holistic insight into applying terahertz spectroscopy to characterize oil shale. The current understanding of the oil…
An accordion-textured clay called smectite efficiently traps organic carbon and could help buffer global warming over millions of years. MIT geologists have found that a…
Prof. Dr. Tomoo Katsura and his international research team at the Bavarian Research Institute of Experimental Geochemistry and Geophysics, University of Bayreuth, have discovered why…
The Lunar Anthropocene, proposed by researchers, marks the significant human impact on the moon since 1959, advocating for the preservation of lunar heritage and responsible…
A former goldmine serves as a gateway to explore microbial life deep within the Earth’s crust. If you totaled the mass of all microbes dwelling…
Scientists have discovered a pivotal role of oceanic anoxia in the Triassic–Jurassic mass extinction, indicating that even localized deoxygenation can lead to widespread ecosystem collapse….
