The Apollo missions changed how scientists understand the moon. Returning with Artemis could help solve some of the biggest lunar mysteries.

Antarctica plays a crucial role in Earth's climate system by reflecting solar radiation back into space. The large white ice ...

Volcanic eruptions are significant geologic hazards. Underwater volcanoes are challenging to study, yet they play an integral ...

With an estimated 6 sextillion kilograms of the stuff—that’s 21 zeroes by the way—the Earth’s core is another example of why hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe.

Researchers use 3D imaging to reveal a deep-seated magmatic link between the Puga and Chumathang hot springs, unlocking ...

Volcanoes erupt because hot, melted rock from deep inside the Earth finds a way to reach the surface. This melted rock is called magma, and it forms when parts of the Earth’s mantle become so hot that ...

For most of deep time, spreading ridges released more carbon than volcano chains, changing how we interpret Earth’s climate history.

Tiny zircon crystals are revealing that Earth’s earliest history may have included surprisingly complex tectonic activity.

When referred to as a gas, it means a volatile has transitioned into the vapor phase. The most common gases (or vapor phase volatiles) emitted at the surface are water (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), and ...

A new scientific revelation reveals that deep in the Earth’s core lies a good amount of hydrogen as well as a large amount of iron. While the iron in the core has always been recognized as dominant, ...

It turns out that continental breakups are just as messy as human ones, with the events leaving fragments scattered far from home ...
