In the Afar Depression of East Africa, a remarkable geological transformation is unfolding, with scientists revealing that ...

The Ring of Fire is one of the most iconic geological features in the world. Stretching some 40,000 km along the Pacific Ocean, it is home to 75 per cent of the Earth’s volcanoes and 90 per cent ...

In two recent studies, researchers suggest a weakening ocean current system is to blame for a persistent cold spot in the ...

Scientists found a rhythmic mantle plume beneath Ethiopia is slowly tearing Africa apart - hinting at the birth of a new ...

By federal law, the shipping lanes of New York and New Jersey Harbor must be deep enough for large cargo ships. To maintain a ...

Understanding the origins of the Ring of Fire, the most seismically active place on Earth, is famously difficult as geologic evidence is destroyed in the process. Now a new study suggests that ...

Yao can adjust pore size and the rate at which he injects the CO 2 gas. A camera takes a picture every 30 seconds during the six-hour duration of each experiment. The results from the laboratory ...

An AMOC collapse would usher in global weather and climate shifts — including plunging temperatures in Europe, which relies on the current system for its mild conditions.
