Volcanism warmed past Earth
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…

Scientists used an exploration approach developed by the oil industry to track down geothermal energy sources.
Researchers showed that methane-eating bacteria acidify their surroundings and dissolve carbonate rocks on the seafloor.
Hydrologists incorporated ground and surface water flow data into Earth System models. They used these models to estimate that nearly 60% of…
Researchers found that soil microbes release less methane but more carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide in draining peatlands.
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.
Researchers found that adding city waste products to local farms promoted a healthy soil microbiome and improved how tomatoes taste.
Researchers showed that rising temperatures make it harder for bumblebees to detect their sugary food sources.
