Deep within the ocean, ancient carbon lies locked inside sedimentary rocks. In a recent study, scientists have uncovered these geological archives, revealing new insights that redefine our understanding of Earth’s history and the evolution of life.

A new deep-sea submersible, combined with early forecasting of volcanic activity in the Pacific Ocean, enabled scientists to document magma emerging from deep within the Earth and study its impact on the ecology in the ocean’s abyss.

One of the primary obstacles on the path to settling Mars is its frigid climate. A new study proposes addressing this issue by triggering a greenhouse effect.

How does the movement of continents shape the Earth’s surface and affect mountain height?

A new study suggests that the breakup of the ancient supercontinent Gondwana generated waves that slowly propagated beneath the continents for tens of millions of years, shaping their surface.

Oxygen depletion in Earth’s freshwater and marine ecosystems is approaching alarming levels, threatening global stability. Scientists call for its recognition as a planetary boundary to spur urgent research and policy action.

Polar ice melting and rising sea levels are slowing Earth’s rotation, emerging as a significant factor in the change to the length of a day

A new study focusing on ice melt in Antarctica and its effects, reveals that the impact of continental uplift on sea levels is influenced by the rate of glacier melting.

Natural metal nodules release oxygen in the dark depths of the ocean, challenging the long-held belief that oxygen production is impossible without photosynthesis.
