Erupted Sea Glass Allows Geologists to Take Earth’s Inner Temperature
The results could help scientists unravel the processes underlying plate tectonics. If the Earth’s oceans were drained completely, they would reveal a massive chain of…

Three studies published in the past month have cast doubt on the premise of subsurface lakes below the Martian south pole. Where there’s water, there’s…
Of all the creatures on Earth, humans manipulate their environments the most. But, how far can we push it before something drastic happens? Scientists are…
Research from MIT Haystack Observatory finds a stratospheric warming event over Antarctica linked to anomalies in near-Earth space above North America and Europe. Weather is…
Research team with Goethe University participation successfully proposes former quarry in Lower Saxony as Global Stratotype Section and Point. The international team of geoscientists led…
The arrival of plants on land about 400 million years ago may have changed the way the Earth naturally regulates its own climate, according to…
Scientists know that the Earth was bombarded by huge impactors in distant time, but a new analysis suggests that the number of these impacts may…
Using isotopes from Texas cave stalactites, scientists in Texas A&M’s College Of Geosciences studied thunderstorm changes in the Southern Great Plains. Large thunderstorms in the…
A new paper finds more radar signals suggesting the presence of subsurface ‘lakes,’ but many are in areas too cold for water to remain liquid….
Detailed observations enable better understanding of future ice shelf stability. A global team of scientists including several from Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University…
In March 2020, daily life in the United States changed in an instant as the country locked down to deal with the initial wave of…
Results demonstrate the power of nickel isotope analyses, which are relatively new, to solve long-standing problems in the geosciences. The most severe mass extinction event…
In a newly published paper, Virginia Tech geoscientists have found that shallow wastewater injection – not deep wastewater injections – can drive widespread deep earthquake…
Simulation led by University of Chicago geoscientist finds missing piece to Martian climate puzzle. One of the great mysteries of modern space science is neatly…
The April snow falling on fruit blossoms in Europe these days may be directly connected to the loss of the sea ice in the Barents…
New research methods may lead to earlier predictions of volcanic eruptions. Although there are telltale signs that a volcano is likely to erupt in the…
It’s not uncommon for crescent-shaped swaths of sand to dot the shorelines of meandering rivers. These swaths usually appear along the inner side of a…
An international team of researchers led by ETH Zurich has reconstructed solar activity back to the year 969 using measurements of radioactive carbon in tree…
