"The Grand Canyon is an epic Rosetta Stone for geology," Denver Museum of Nature and Science geologist James Hagadorn said.

Armed with advanced technology, decades of expertise, and insights from an NSF-funded study, a multi-institution team of ...

On a local level, heavy metal and chemical pollution from unmaintained factories and infrastructure will exert pressures on ...

Our mission is to excel in education and research in Earth system sciences and human-environmental interactions. We aim to provide students with the scientific basis to work in geology, meteorology, ...

Distrust in science and facts has always been around. Whether it was the debate about evolution or the age of the Earth, when science and belief are in conflict, people tend to lean into discrediting ...

Around 700 million years ago, the Earth cooled so much that scientists believe massive ice sheets encased the entire planet like a giant snowball. This global deep freeze, known as Snowball Earth ...

The Earth's mantle might not always move along in lockstep with the overlying tectonic crust—as set out in science textbooks for decades—but may instead behave differently. This is the ...

Nov. 5, 2024 — At the end of the last global ice age, the deep-frozen Earth reached a built-in limit of climate change and thawed into a slushy planet. Results provide the first direct ...

a 2023 study in the journal Science suggests. Below the lithosphere is the asthenosphere — a viscous layer kept malleable by heat deep within the Earth. It lubricates the undersides of Earth's ...

Geoscientists employed current-day stratigraphic, depositional and paleontological models, along with modern technological muscle to provide updated insights of the Cambrian period of the Grand Canyon ...

It sounds like something out of a science-fiction movie. For the past couple of weeks, Earth's orbit has been home to a "mini-moon" the size of a city bus. The celestial object is more than just a ...
