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….
New research suggests that large remnants of Theia, a Mars-sized object that collided with Earth to form the Moon, still exist within Earth’s mantle. These…
Research indicates an increased threat of lightning-induced wildfires in boreal forests due to climate change, potentially exacerbating global warming by destabilizing significant carbon stores in…
Scientists know very little about conditions in the ocean when life first evolved, but new research published in the journal Nature Geoscience has revealed how…
A groundbreaking study reveals that Earth’s surface water reaches the core, altering its composition and suggesting a more dynamic core-mantle interaction and a complex global…
Scientists from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have achieved a significant advancement in measuring the Earth’s rotation with unprecedented precision. The ring laser at…
Lightning is the dominant cause of wildfire ignition in boreal forests – areas of global importance for carbon storage – and will increase in frequency…
Could blending of crushed rock with arable soil lower global temperatures? Mainz University scientists study global warming events from 40 and 56 million years ago…
Superdeep diamonds formed between 650 and 450 million years ago show how continents developed and moved. The analysis of ancient, superdeep diamonds dug up from…
A groundbreaking study has uncovered a previously unknown mechanism that significantly influences Earth’s climate. The research was conducted by Hebrew University’s Ph.D. candidate, Kaushal Gianchandani,…
A study predicts that the formation of a supercontinent, Pangea Ultima, 250 million years in the future could lead to extreme temperatures, threatening mammalian survival…
Rising global population and more frequent extreme weather events are putting our water resources at risk. However, there’s a limited understanding of how different sectors…
Utrecht University geologist Suzanna van de Lagemaat has reconstructed a massive and previously unknown tectonic plate that was once one-quarter the size of the Pacific…
For billions of years, the Earth’s crust has continued a slow process of reworking, as opposed to rapidly slowing its growth around 3 billion years…
A study predicts a mass extinction of mammals in 250 million years due to extreme heat from the formation of a supercontinent. The research highlights…
How has the atmosphere and mantle oxidation state of the Earth changed? The connection between a planet’s interior and its surface plays a pivotal role…
Research from Oregon State University has discovered a potential reason for the rapid retreat of sea-terminating glaciers: the bursting of tiny, pressurized bubbles in underwater…
