Impact history should be considered a key factor in the search for habitable Earth-like exoplanets. Southwest Research Institute, working with Yale University, has produced a review highlighting recent scientific advances in understanding how the rocky inner planets, known as terrestrial planets, came to be and how they have changed over time. Their Nature Review journal [...]| SciTechDaily
A sample collected in July 2024 by NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover may be “the closest we've actually come to discovering ancient life on Mars,” according to Nicky Fox, the science head of NASA.| Eos
New research from the University of California, Davis, the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Texas A&M University reveals that massive emissions, or burps, of carbon dioxide from natural earth systems led to significant decreases in ocean oxygen concentrations some 300 million years ago.| Coastal and Marine Sciences Institute
Over 99.999% of Earth’s gold is trapped in its core, slowly reaching the surface through volcanic activity.| Geology In
The scientific community is on alert after detecting the presence of precious metals in volcanic rocks ejected to the surface in Hawaii, which could indicate that the Earth’s core may be leaking. According to analyses by experts at the University of Göttingen in Germany, an organic component was found that typically exists only at depths […]| Techoreon
Wildfire burns between 3.94 million and 5.19 million square kilometres of land every year worldwide. If that area were a single country, it would be the seventh largest in the world. In Australia, most fire occurs in the vast tropical savannas of the country’s north. In new research published in Nature Geoscience, we show IndigenousContinue reading "Indigenous fire management began more than 11,000 years ago: new research"| Global Ecology @ Flinders
