Scientists used satellites to map tens of thousands of glacial landforms in Antarctica’s highest mountains.
Could tectonic processes in the early Earth have contributed to the rise of oxygen?
A look back at hurricane history suggests we may be significantly underestimating future risks.
The Java quake was so devastating in part because it occurred so close to the surface.
A team of scientists have found a surprising amount of water ice on Mars.
Sophisticated equipment on the Perseverance rover is helping answer some of the many questions researchers have about Mars’ geology over time.
The United States Geological Survey has a vast collection of satellite images capturing breathtaking geological features of our planet. As a geologist, I’ve picked eight of the most fascinating.
Scientists have uncovered the long-term history of our receding moon. And it’s not from studying the moon itself, but from reading signals in ancient layers of rock on Earth.
Our prospects of a better, fairer future are inextricably linked with the minerals and metals beneath our feet. Is it time to make peace with the industry that extracts them?
Earth has liquid rock inside. Here’s what happens to that rock to make lava happen.
In an extraterrestrial first, scientists have linked seismic waves on Mars to meteorite impact craters spotted via satellite.
Southern Australia’s Nullarbor Plain is offering up evidence of Earth’s past landscapes and ecosystems, exceptionally preserved for millions of years.
There’s a curious 200-million-year rhythm to Earth’s crust production. Now, it seems like our very place in the galaxy is tied to it.
Giant meteorite impacts may have created the land we live on
Caves form over millions of years, as a result of flowing water slowly working away at ‘soft’ calcareous rock.
Geology experts explain why coloured diamonds are so much rarer than clear ones – and why the newly discovered Lulo Rose might become the most expensive diamond in history.
The world’s biggest cycling race is a great way to teach people about geology – and test our own ideas.
The Earth has had at least five major ice ages, and humans showed up in time for the most recent one. In fact, we’re still in it.
Millions of people around the world live on river deltas and are vulnerable when those rivers shift direction. A new study shows why and where these events, called avulsions, happen.
