New Antarctic ice core data bolster model predictions of ocean heat content during glacials and interglacials.

The Antarctic ice sheet behaves like a non-Newtonian fluid and may be more nonlinear than previously thought. This impacts ...

Drainage divide migration is influenced by tectonics and climate over long periods. New research in Israel shows that even shorter-term wet-dry cycles can move divides.

The planet’s elusive aurorae are much colder than expected, which is how they evaded detection for so long.

A new analysis of a fossil found in 1889 has unveiled the presence of zeolites—and an entirely new mineralization method.

Because salt has been detected on Mars, it is likely that Martian mudflows are also salty, much like Earth’s mud volcanoes, ...

Surface and chemical properties of tea leaves may help explain the correlation between tea consumption and lower incidences ...

A new study deepens understanding of magnetic field behavior recently discovered by NASA in Earth’s magnetosphere.

Under Trump’s first budget draft for NASA, the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, illustrated above, might not launch. Credit: NASA Research & Developments is a blog for brief updates that ...

A multidisciplinary synthesis of the Campi Flegrei, Italy volcanic setting highlights the importance of sub-caldera layering ...

An instrument aboard the Vikram lander suggests that buried water ice could be found at higher latitudes, making it more abundant and easier to extract than previously believed.

Cycles of ice sheet growth (glacials) and intervening warmth (interglacials) in Earth’s past—largely triggered by shifts in the amount of solar radiation (insolation) reaching the planet ...
