Madison, Wisconsin, 18–23 August 2014
Studying Archean-age gneissic and schistic rocks in northwestern Canada, researchers determined that the source of these rocks formed 4.3 billion years ago.
A researcher proposes a tectonic mechanism that could have helped drive one of the biggest evolutionary events in history: the Cambrian Explosion.
A new tectonic history of the Allegeny-Variscan range.
Currently, five spacecraft are investigating Mars, and a swarm of new missions will follow. Clues to where they should focus investigations can be gleaned from the planet’s new geologic map.
