New research reveals a surprising link between the ancient tectonic history of oceanic plates and their fate as they subduct into Earth's mantle. Compositional anomalies, formed millions of years ago, significantly influence their descent speed and trajectory.
Deep within Earth, a hidden transformation is underway. Scientists have discovered that the inner core's surface is changing shape, challenging previous assumptions about its solid nature. This dynamic activity could influence Earth's rotation and magnetic field.
Researchers from the University of Washington have explored the mysterious transition between "Snowball Earth" events and the following bursts of life evolution.
Iceland's Reykjanes Peninsula is experiencing a series of volcanic eruptions that could continue intermittently for years or even decades, according to researchers analysing local earthquake and geochemical data.
Ground-based measuring devices and aircraft radar reveal a loss of ice from the 79° N-Glacier, a critical indicator of the impacts of global warming...
Researchers have introduced a new metric called the earthquake fatality load (EQFL) to assess the impact of earthquakes on countries over the past five centuries.
An international research team led by Nagoya University and the University of New Hampshire unveils the critical role of Earth's atmosphere in geomagnetic storms and their consequences.
The rich biodiversity that covers our planet originated from a fateful evolutionary event once called plant terrestrialization, but how do scientists unlock the secrets of plant evolution.
Researchers from Tulane University studied meandering rivers on Earth and ancient riverbeds on Mars to understand how climate change affects their paths.
UK Space Agency offers £15 million in funding for Earth Observation technologies to advance climate monitoring, environmental management, and scientific knowledge.
How does Earth differ from Mars? Researchers observe seismic waves travelling through Mars to understand its formation – and why it sustains life differently.
