The first results are published from experiments that aim to illuminate the physics of lava-water interactions, which can sometimes make eruptions more dangerousRead More »Geochemistry, Mineralogy, Volcanology
The meteorite may have been blasted off of Earth during an impact, mixed with lunar rocks, and brought back to Earth 4 billion years later by astronauts.Read More »Geochemistry, Mineralogy, Volcanology
Dissolved thorium isotopes light the way to a more thorough understanding of how different elements enter marine environments—and how long they stay there.Read More »Geology & Geophysics
Buried buildings subtly distort natural magnetic fields, providing a magnetic surveying team with clues that helped archaeologists map an ancient city.Read More »Geochemistry, Mineralogy, Volcanology
A multinational research team drilled into the seafloor to see whether chemical processes in exposed shallow mantle rocks could generate nutrients to support life in the subsurface.Read More »Planetary Sciences
New measurements of multiple radionuclides in the Atlantic Ocean offer a robust constraint on the sinking flux of particles and associated vertical fluxes of biogeochemically important elements.Read More »Planetary Sciences
A new study supports the idea that earthquakes may be associated with increased volcanic eruptions, but over longer time spans than prior research indicated.Read More »
