Reservoirs of hydrogen gas that form naturally in Earth's crust could help humans decarbonize. The challenge now is finding ...

D heat maps show how deep temperature patterns under Greenland help explain uneven ice loss and land motion, improving future ...

Far below the familiar blue of the oceans, scientists are uncovering evidence of a vast hidden reservoir of water locked inside the rocks of Earth’s mantle. Rather than a single underground sea, this ...

Explore the fascinating tale of the Kola Superdeep Borehole, a monumental scientific endeavor by the Soviet Union that aimed ...

Beneath the American Midwest, on the continent of North America, the underside of Earth's crust is dripping into the planetary interior. There, blobs of molten rock are coalescing in the upper mantle ...

Asier Madarieta, a researcher in the EHU's HGI (Water Environmental Processes) group, has analyzed how the Earth's crust is ...

Earth's core is rich with gold, and it's leaking out through the mantle and into the crust, new research has found. A new study of isotopes found in the volcanic rock that oozed out from deep under ...

Researchers have made a new discovery that changes our understanding of Earth's early geological history, challenging beliefs about how our continents formed and when plate tectonics began. A study ...

As early as 2024, scientists from the US and China discovered that the Earth’s core had slowed down and even stopped moving in relation to the Earth’s crust. But until now, the general public—that’s ...

Scientists reveal one side of Earth’s interior cools faster. The Pacific Ocean hemisphere loses heat quicker, influencing ...

Fresh evidence suggests early Earth wasn’t locked under a rigid stagnant lid but was already experiencing intense subduction.

By trapping huge amounts of water on land, big dams built by humans have slightly changed how Earth spins and where its poles ...
