Would a deep-Earth water cycle change our understanding of planetary evolution?
Substantial quantities of water could be present farther into the mantle than previously thought possible
Planetary boundaries: Interactions in the Earth system amplify human impacts
What we do to one part of our Earth system does not just add to what we do to other parts: “We found a dense network of interactions between the planetary boundaries,” says Johan Rockström, Director of the Potsdam Institute…
How do silt and sand differ when going with the flow?
Rice-led scientists show grain size, not speed of water, sets silt and sand transport

Finding a killer electron hot spot in Earth’s Van Allen radiation belts
A collaboration between researchers in Japan, the USA, and Russia has found a hot spot in Earth’s radiation belt where killer electrons, which can cause serious anomalies in satellites, form. The finding, published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters ,…

Research confirms timing of tropical glacier melt at the end of the last ice age
Decrease in temperature differences may have forced warming at low latitudes
Was Earth’s oxygenation a gradual, not step-wise, process — driven by internal feedbacks?
The oxygenation of Earth’s surface – which transformed the planet into a habitable haven for all life as we know it – may have been the consequence of global biogeochemical feedbacks, rather than the product of discrete planetary-scale biological and…
New aluminium hydroxide stable at extremely high pressure
Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe and it plays important roles in the structure, dynamics, and evolution of the planets. Hydrogen is transported into deep mantle regions as a hydrous mineral via the subduction of oceanic plates.…

McGill-led research unravels mystery of how early animals survived ice age
New findings further our understanding of extreme climate change and evolution
The impact of molecular rotation on a peculiar isotope effect on water hydrogen bonds
Unveiling two deuteration effects on hydrogen-bond breaking process of water isotopomers
Evidence: Antarctica’s thinning ice shelves causing more ice to move from land into sea
Researchers have produced the first physics-based quantifiable evidence that thinning ice shelves in Antarctica are causing more ice to flow from the land into the ocean
Breathing? Thank volcanoes, tectonics and bacteria
Study points to one cause for several mysteries linked to breathable oxygen

Illuminating seafloor seismology with existing ‘dark’ fiber-optic cables
A new fault system on the seafloor was discovered off California’s coast by temporarily transforming a pre-existing underwater fiber optic cable into an array of nearly 10,000 seismic sensors, according to a new study. The results showcase the potential of…
Human migration out of Africa may have followed monsoons in the Middle East
MADISON, Wis. — Last year, scientists announced that a human jawbone and prehistoric tools found in 2002 in Misliya Cave, on the western edge of Israel, were between 177,000 and 194,000 years old. The finding suggested that modern humans, who…
