There is growing evidence that some earthquakes occur seasonally but also that water loading cannot explain these observations.Read More »Science Policy & Funding
Africa is a geoscientist’s dream. But new research shows that less than 4% of the world’s high-impact geoscience papers focus on Africa, and few of those have even one African author. Read More »Geology & Geophysics

New simulations of Earth’s outer core have reproduced magnetic fields that—for the first time—match paleomagnetic data collected from rocks. Read More »Planetary Sciences
The search for extraterrestrial intelligence is undergoing a 21st century transformation. The field is poised to lead the way as an example of interdisciplinary research and inclusive science.Read More »Geology & Geophysics
A new analysis of seismic data from the Middle America Trench suggests that previous calculations have vastly overestimated the total amount of water transported to the mantle worldwide.Read More »Geology & Geophysics
Spatial clustering of aftershocks explains why simple statistical models often outperform complex physics‐based earthquake forecasting models even if the physical mechanisms are correctly modeled.Read More »Geochemistry, Mineralogy, Volcanology
Fracturing during microearthquakes can cause groundwater pH drops. The change is temporary but can be equivalent to the difference between water and vinegar.Read More »
