Remnants of volcanoes strewn across Australia act as a map of the northward movement of the continent over an underlying “hotspot” within the Earth’s interior…
Geologists have uncovered evidence suggesting that the planet did not experience complete glaciation during the ice age that occurred 635 million years ago. Earth has…
A new study reveals a concerning uptrend in the emissions of five ozone-depleting substances from 2010 to 2020, despite their production for most applications being…
A recent study has presented the initial observational proof of the stabilization of the anti-cyclonic Beaufort Gyre, which is the dominant circulation in the Canada…
Although the oceans from ancient times have disappeared, the events that occurred in them have been recorded in rocks. By examining these rocks, we can…
Researchers from The University of Alabama discovered a dense layer of ancient ocean floor, or ultra-low velocity zone (ULVZ), between Earth’s core and mantle using…
Revealing “invisible” glacier loss underwater Recent research shows that the mass loss of lake-terminating glaciers in the Himalayas has been severely underestimated, due to the…
Due to its potential for in-situ resource utilization by future lunar exploration missions and other space missions, lunar surface water has attracted significant attention. Now,…
