Thermal modeling suggests that active magmatism in the past few hundred thousand years could account for the presence of a large lake previously hypothesized beneath the Red Planet’s southern ice cap.Read More »Geochemistry, Mineralogy, Volcanology
Real-time tracking during diamond anvil cell experiments indicates reaction rates may control the unusual depth distribution of the extremely rare diamonds that form deep within Earth’s mantle.Read More »Geochemistry, Mineralogy, Volcanology
Painstaking measurements of isotopes and their relative abundance in rocks have illuminated the hidden inner Earth and our planet’s origins and shadowy past for much of the preceding century.Read More »Natural Hazards
The first multidecadal, satellite-based study of Latin America’s most active volcanoes could help researchers better predict eruptions.Read More »Biogeosciences
Eutrophication not only is a present-day anthropogenic phenomenon in the southern Baltic but also occurred over the past few millennia, with cyanobacterial blooms during times of climate warming.Read More »Planetary Sciences
Researchers argue there needs to be an underground source of heat for liquid water to exist underneath the planet’s south polar ice cap, as predicted by a previous study. Read More »
A new book explores chemostratigraphy, a fascinating and relatively young branch of geoscience, presenting the latest developments and applications.Read More »Geochemistry, Mineralogy, Volcanology
Evidence from volcanic crystals sheds light on magma storage under Mount Agung and helps explain this giant volcano’s frequent eruptions.Read More »Geohealth
