Sep. 17, 2020 — Researchers have used a computer model to test a new hypothesis about the formation of the Alps while simulating seismic activity in Switzerland. This will help improve current earthquake risk ...
Sep. 16, 2020 — It is generally accepted that the inner region of the early solar system was subject to an intense period of meteoric bombardment referred to as the late heavy bombardment. However, researchers have ...
Sep. 14, 2020 — The observations from Earth orbit show high-altitude concentrations of the gas that are more than 10 times typical ...
Sep. 11, 2020 — Volcanic ash shuts down air traffic and can sicken people. But a new study suggests that it may also be more important for Earth's climate than scientists once ...
Sep. 10, 2020 — Scientists have compiled a continuous, high-fidelity record of variations in Earth's climate extending 66 million years into the past. The record reveals four distinctive climate states, which ...
Sep. 10, 2020 — New geologic findings about the makeup of the Earth's mantle are helping scientists better understand long-term climate stability and even how seismic waves move through the planet's ...
Sep. 10, 2020 — Continued volcanic activity after the collapse of a volcano has not been documented in detail so far. Now and for the first time, researchers are presenting the results of a photogrammetric data ...
Sep. 9, 2020 — For the first time, scientists have viewed the deepest regions of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, discovered five undescribed species consisting of black corals and sponges, and recorded ...
Sep. 8, 2020 — New research identifies a process that might have been key in producing the first organic molecules on Earth about 4 billion years ago, before the origin of life. The process, which is similar to ...
Sep. 7, 2020 — Researchers have discovered microdiamonds in the Nishisonogi metamorphic rock formation in Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan. Microdiamonds in metamorphic rocks are important minerals because they form in ...
Sep. 4, 2020 — By researching tremors under the infamous San Andreas Fault, scientists are seeking out what's brewing beneath a quake's ...
Sep. 2, 2020 — To the surprise of many planetary scientists, the oxidized iron mineral hematite has been discovered at high latitudes on the ...
Aug. 27, 2020 — A new study finds that Earth's water may have come from materials that were present in the inner solar system at the time the planet formed -- instead of far-reaching comets or asteroids ...
Aug. 27, 2020 — On 11 November 2019, a magnitude 5 earthquake occurred near the village of Le Teil in the Rhône River Valley in southern France producing an unexpected surface rupture with ground displacement. For ...
Aug. 26, 2020 — New research examining the crystal structure of the silica mineral quartz under shock compression is challenging longstanding assumptions about this ubiquitous ...
Aug. 25, 2020 — A new scientific study has revealed unique life strategies of two major groups of microbes that live below Earth's surface. These groups, originally thought to rely on symbiotic relationships ...
Aug. 25, 2020 — A mystery surrounding the space around our solar system is unfolding thanks to evidence of supernovae found in deep-sea ...
Aug. 21, 2020 — By creating conditions akin to the center of Earth inside a laboratory chamber, researchers have improved the estimate of the age of our planet's solid inner core, putting it at 1 billion to 1.3 ...
