"This early crust was reshaped and made richer ... self-sustaining pattern. "This discovery completely changes our understanding of Earth's earliest geological processes," says Professor Turner.

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 ...

A recent study has overturned a foundational assumption about Earth’s early geological evolution by showing that the planet’s very first crust, formed around 4.5 billion years ago, already exhibited ...

With collaborators across six universities, Professor Emeritus Simon Turner from the Faculty of Science and Engineering at Macquarie University has made a breakthrough discovery that changes our ...
