A new study has been published by researchers at NYU that investigates geological activity on Earth over massive timescales. Researchers analyzed 260 million years of major geological events and found ...

New research published in the journal Geoscience Frontiers highlights the cyclic patterns of geologic activity on Earth. Scientists from New York University report findings from an analysis of major ...

Earthquake faults deep in Earth can glue themselves back together following a seismic event, according to a new study led by researchers at the University of California, Davis. The work, published in ...

Evidence that catastrophic geological events could have created evolutionary bottlenecks that changed the course of life on Earth may be buried within ancient rocks beneath our feet. A ...

Deep beneath the mountains of the Himalayas, something remarkable is taking place. The vast, rocky plate supporting India, known as the Indian Plate, is slowly breaking apart. Recent scientific ...

Studying a past geologic event is like a forensic investigation of the Earth itself. What happened? When did it happen? And what does the event tell us about what might happen in the future? The when ...

The continental volcanism, oceanic volcanism and mid-ocean ridge volcanism emit Hg to the atmosphere and ocean. Mercury in atmosphere deposit to aquatic and terrestrial systems via wet or dry ...
