An Earth scientist reviews Julian Charrière’s new exhibition spanning volcanoes, glacial rocks, and humans’ short yet impactful role in geological time.
Geothermal power used to be limited to volcanic areas. But advances in exploration and drilling technology mean huge new areas can be tapped.
Thoreau’s work as a pioneering physical scientist is almost invisible in popular culture, according to a geologist and Thoreau historian.
Understanding why some faults creep rather than sticking and causing massive earthquakes is important for gauging the future risk of both earthquakes and tsunamis.
Australia’s iconic towering limestone stacks hold a detailed archive of millions of years of climate history.
Through fossilized tooth enamel, scientists are reconstructing the diets and landscapes that existed millions of years ago. We really are what we eat.
