Geologists found chemical ratios in ancient minerals that suggested Earth had freshwater 550 million years after it formed.
Researchers modeled groundwater temperature trends from 2000 to 2100. They estimated that groundwater could warm by up to 3.5°C over the…
Paleontologists discovered a new set of fossils from the ancient ancestors of animals in rocks from China.
Geologists dated a global warming event about 180 million years ago. They found it lasted between 169,000 and 417,000 years and was linked…
Hydrologists incorporated ground and surface water flow data into Earth System models. They used these models to estimate that nearly 60% of…
Researchers modeled tectonic and magmatic processes on Venus. They determined that its highlands formed when molten rock rose, melting its…
Researchers found that when complex plants evolved, they increased ocean oxygen and massively restructured the marine ecosystem.
Researchers found higher soil surface temperatures prevented seedling survival and forest expansion in low-elevation forests.
Researchers found that massive copper ore deposits in central Arizona formed from melted crust rather than melted mantle.
