The science-fiction scenario of an engineered planet is already here.
Ancient fatty molecules, once believed to be traces of some of the first animals to live on Earth, may have been produced by algae instead.
It’s one of the largest funding cuts to any university course, and will leave Australia ill-equipped to deal with the environmental challenges of the future.
Born on July 30, 1920, geologist and cartographer Tharp changed scientific thinking about what lay at the bottom of the ocean – not a featureless flat, but rugged and varied terrain.
A network of sensitive instruments in schools around Australia is recording the eerie silence of the coronavirus pandemic — and tiny earthquakes that would otherwise be undetectable.
New research suggests that Earth’s oxygenation didn’t require difficult and complex evolutionary leaps forward.
