Advances in plate tectonics research allow a deeper understanding of how greenhouse gases escape from within the planet.

A thick portion of Earth’s crust may have capped the Samoan plume and suppressed volcanism for 30 million years, explaining a curious gap along the Samoan chain.

Not all climate models include carbon from thawing permafrost, and those that do often disagree. Scientists are working to better inform models and assess how these crucial materials are simulated.

Flowing brines transport heat more effectively than old models showed, potentially changing climate simulations.

Cristales australianos apuntan a la existencia de agua dulce, así como de continentes que se elevaban sobre el océano Hadeano de la Tierra.

Geochemical sleuthing amid acid mine runoff suggests that scientists should rethink an isotope signal long taken to indicate low levels of atmospheric oxygen in Earth’s deep past.

Researchers sampled sediment cores and found that where magnetite was abundant, methane-producing bacteria were as well.

Dos nuevos conjuntos de datos ayudan a los investigadores a separar las influencias de la tectónica de placas y el movimiento del manto en la topografía de la superficie.

New interpretations and mapping of all New Zealand’s offshore sedimentary basins offer clues about the evolution of Earth’s eighth continent.
