A new study by Rice University researchers Sho Shibata and Andre Izidoro presents a compelling new model for the formation of ...
Penn State researchers propose that Earth and life have evolved together in a way that is more typical of life-supporting ...
Discover the connection between volcanic events and the rise of Earth's oxygen levels that enabled complex life to thrive.
Scientists found that volcanic eruptions triggered short-lived oxygen spikes before Earth's air became breathable.
Historically, the ocean has been difficult to model. Scientists struggled in years past to simulate ocean currents or ...
When a mudflat crumbles on Earth, or an ice sheet splinters on one of Jupiter's moons (Europa), or an ancient lakebed breaks ...
A researcher with UW collaborated on the project to come up with the most precise predictive Ice Age model to date.
Throughout Earth's history, ice caps have been very rare, but a model of the past 420 million years suggests an explanation for why they sometimes form ...
Researchers explore the likelihood that Earth's climate, as affected by solar heat, plays a role in seismic activity. Using mathematical and computational methods, they analyzed earthquake data ...
