Geologists Decode Earth’s 4.4-Billion-Year-Old “Missing” Crust – New Study
Researchers used zircons and AI to reconstruct Earth’s ancient crust, revealing possible tectonic processes from the planet’s earliest, rockless chapter. Researchers from the School of Earth Sciences at Zhejiang University, led by Professors Read More
NASA and India’s $1.5 billion NISAR mission promises global time lapses of the planet’s ever-changing land and ice Summary NASA and India’s collaborative NISAR mission, costing $1.5 billion, will provide unprecedented global time-lapse imagery Read More
New research from HKU geologists suggests that Earth’s first continents were born not from plate tectonics, but from deep mantle plumes rising from within the planet. Researchers at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) Read More
The outlook is promising for future long-term monitoring of planets across multiple wavelengths. Infrared imaging data from Japan’s Himawari-8 and Himawari-9 meteorological satellites have been successfully applied to track changes in the temperature of Read More
Deep beneath Ethiopia’s Afar Rift, scientists have detected rhythmic surges of molten mantle rock—geologic heartbeats powerful enough to thin Earth’s crust, pry Africa apart, and seed a future ocean. Chemical “barcodes” in Read More
NASA Uncovers a 540-Million-Year Magnetic Rhythm Steering Earth’s Oxygen
NASA scientists uncovered a 540-million-year rhythm linking Earth’s shifting magnetic field to rises and dips in atmospheric oxygen, hinting that the planet’s molten core and moving continents may quietly choreograph the conditions that Read More
