Recently, a pair of NASA studies identified the most likely locations to find pieces of the Moon’s mantle on the surface, providing a map for future lunar sample return missions such as those under NASA’s Artemis program. If collected and analyzed, these fragments from deep within the Moon can provide a better understanding of how … Early molten moon’s deep secrets
Sand and mud subducted off the coast of California around 75 million years ago returned to the Earth’s crust by rising up through the mantle as enormous diapirs, like blobs in a lava lamp, new research shows. Title: Lava lamp tectonics: Research suggests giant blobs of subducted sediment float up through deep EarthSourced From: www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2021/08/210804123559.htmPublished … Lava lamp tectonics: Research suggests giant blobs of subducted sediment float up through deep Earth
Scientists studied microorganisms from an underwater mountain in the Atlantic Ocean, pioneering a method that could open new windows into our understanding of how life survives deep under the sea — or in space.

The rise of oxygen levels early in Earth’s history paved the way for the spectacular diversity of animal life. But for decades, scientists have struggled to explain the factors that controlled this gradual and stepwise process, which unfolded over nearly 2 billion years. Title: Lake Huron sinkhole surprise: The rise of oxygen on early Earth … Lake Huron sinkhole surprise: The rise of oxygen on early Earth linked to changing planetary rotation rate
Of all the creatures on Earth, humans manipulate their environments the most. But, how far can we push it before something drastic happens? Scientists are calling for a better understanding of past extreme climate change events in an attempt to anticipate future changes. Title: Understanding past climate change ‘tipping points’ can help us prepare for … Understanding past climate change ‘tipping points’ can help us prepare for the future
A new study tackles one of the oldest questions in the history of the planet: How did living organisms get so big?

A new analysis of the 2018 collapse of Kilauea volcano’s caldera helps to confirm the reigning scientific paradigm for how friction works on earthquake faults. The model quantifies the conditions necessary to initiate the kind of caldera collapse that sustains big, damaging eruptions of basaltic volcanoes like Kilauea and could help to inform forecasting and … Giant friction experiment at Kilauea volcano
Researchers have for the first time demonstrated a direct link between the decrease in the Dead Sea’s water table, evaporation and land subsidence.

Scientists have found in Salzgitter-Salder what researchers have been searching for for more than 20 years: A geological formation that perfectly represents the transition from the Cretaceous Turonian to the Coniacian Age. The former limestone quarry is now considered a global reference point (GSSP) for the turn of the ages 89.4 million years ago. Title: … ‘Golden nail’: Quarry near Salzgitter becomes global geological reference point
The remains of microscopic plankton blooms in near-shore ocean environments slowly sink to the seafloor, setting off processes that forever alter an important record of Earth’s history, according to research from geoscientists.
