In fault gouge, fluids drive chemical healing by cementing grains, a mechanism for seismic slip in rocks frictionally ...

As a warming climate alters the Arctic landscape, beavers are moving northward, building dams as they go, creating new ponds, ...

Mineral dust shapes Earth’s climate by influencing sunlight, clouds, nutrient transport, and even how quickly snow melts. But ...

By modeling dehydration-driven fluid pressure, a new study links deep fluids to where megathrust earthquakes end and slow slip begins.

The Global South, in particular, is suffering from the consequences of global heating. A new study quantifies heat stress in ...

California has lost 60% of its coastal sand dunes since the mid-1800s, a new study shows. In addition to protecting coastal communities from flooding, dunes support a wide range of plants and animals.

Researchers used a process called symbolic regression to derive the equations from a biogeochemical model of the ocean.

Turtles’ ability to navigate by sensing geomagnetism is effective, but imperfect, new research suggests. Credit: Melissa Staines Research & Developments is a blog for brief updates that provide ...

Scour marks left by icebergs that ran aground thousands of years ago record the winds blowing off the Laurentide Ice Sheet.

A subtle change in iron ions’ electronic configuration produces a measurable difference in seismic wave speeds through mantle ...

The influences on Earth’s climate and weather patterns are wide ranging, from anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions to volcanism to variations in solar activity. This analysis incorporates 67 years ...
