Rocks that stood out as light-colored dots on the reddish-orange surface of Mars now are the latest evidence that areas of the small planet may have once supported wet oases […]
Nearly 4.5 million years ago, two large, hot stars brushed tantalizingly close to Earth’s sun. They left behind a trace in the clouds of gas and dust that swirl just […]
Sixty-million-year-old rock samples from deep under the ocean have revealed how huge amounts of carbon dioxide are stored for millennia in piles of lava rubble that accumulate on the seafloor.
A Rutgers researcher and collaborators link strange anomalies to Earth’s molten beginnings – and its unique habitability.
Noble gases are powerful probes of the Earth’s early history, as they are chemically inert. Neon isotopic ratios in deep mantle plumes suggest that nebular gases were incorporated into the […]
The Oort Cloud’s dynamical evolution is significantly influenced by both the galactic tide and stellar flybys.
A geomagnetic superstorm is an extreme space weather event that occurs when the Sun releases massive amounts of energy and charged particles toward Earth. These storms are rare, occurring about […]
The co-evolution of life and Earth has profoundly transformed global biogeochemical cycles over the past 3.5 billion years.
Over the last few decades, prediction models have become a fundamental tool in statistics, chemometrics, and related fields.
Earth isn’t the only planet to go through ice ages. A handful have hit our home planet in the last 2.5 billion years, with the most recent – which peaked […]
