Explore Marie Tharp's groundbreaking 1977 World Ocean Floor map and discover how it transformed our understanding of the Earth.

Super-Earths may be solid deep inside their mantles

Deep inside super-Earths—rocky planets with masses between 1 and 10 times that of Earth—high pressure can cause familiar minerals to take forms rarely seen on Earth. Understanding...

Feedbacks upon feedbacks: Rock weathering and the climate

Rock weathering may release or draw down carbon dioxide—it depends on the rock.

High resolution satellite data used to monitor coastal changes

Earth Sciences NZ has been using new satellite data to track how coastal areas of New Zealand are changing in the face of climate change.

Space Lasers Show How Venezuela’s Earthquakes Reshaped the Earth’s Crust

New satellite imagery reveals how much terrain has shifted in the wake of the twin quakes.

Thunder + fiber-optic cabling used for seismic imaging

Thunderstorms make seismic waves that can be used to find sub-surface features.

A 2-Billion-Year-Old Clue Challenges a Popular Earth Science Theory

A key geological clue to a global disruption in Earth’s ancient carbon cycle may have a more local origin. Between roughly 2.5 and 2 billion years ago, Earth underwent the greatest...

Scientists Find a New Way To Detect Hidden Water Ice on the Moon

By studying how seismic waves move through frozen soil on Earth, a geophysicist helped develop a more effective method for detecting water ice on the Moon. Beneath the Moon’s perma...

Why do Earth’s hidden stress fields matter for our future? Let’s explore the latest insights from the World Stress Map d...

Beneath the serene landscapes we inhabit, the Earth’s crust is a battleground of constant, immense, and invisible tectonic forces. While humanity typically only notices this deep-s...

Scientists Uncover the Hidden Force Making Sea-Level Rise Far Worse Than Expected

Sea-level rise is not just about the oceans. New research shows that sinking land is dramatically increasing flood risk in many coastal cities. As climate change pushes oceans high...

Earth has regulated its climate for 60 million years through a hidden ocean feedback

A new study has identified a natural process that may have helped keep Earth's climate stable for the past 60 million years. Researchers found that changes in sea level controlled...
