Insights from a 13-year monitoring program of Sierra Negra—one of the many volcanoes that dot the Galápagos Islands—shed light on the volcanic evolution of basaltic eruption.Read More »Geology & Geophysics
How do greenhouse gases and water circulate from minerals deep below Earth’s surface into the atmosphere and oceans—and then back again? Our understanding continues to evolve.Read More »Geology & Geophysics
A decade-long research collaboration has revealed that the split between Africa and North America roughly 200 million years ago was more drawn out than previously thought.Read More »Geology & Geophysics
Over the past decade, the GeoPRISMS program has greatly expanded understanding of shoreline-spanning Earth systems processes and fostered a vibrant and increasingly diverse community of researchers.Read More »Geology & Geophysics
Satellite data have revealed that ground radiant temperatures around volcanoes rose in the years leading up to eruptions. The observation may help in forecasting future volcanic activity.Read More »Geochemistry, Mineralogy, Volcanology
One of the world’s best monitored and most active volcanos still has secrets to yield, and researchers are turning to vapor bubbles trapped in melt inclusions to find them.Read More »Planetary Sciences
By compressing iron oxide to pressures expected inside a large and rocky exoplanet, scientists discovered that such mantles could layer, mix, and flow in ways very different from those inside our planet.Read More »
