From hordes rushing into national parks to mourners holding glacier funerals, tourists wanting to take in threatened natural places may be shifting visitation patterns.

Swirling currents called mesoscale eddies occupy about 22% of the ice-free Southern Ocean. Using data from drifting floats ...

Geoengineering approaches such as stratospheric aerosol injection hold the promise of limiting warming, but among the many potential risks and concerns, their impacts on agriculture remain largely ...

A new book examines how fiber-optic cables installed in boreholes can monitor seismic activity, fluid flow, subsurface temperatures, and more.

Nevada se está convirtiendo en un gran productor de litio, gracias a la topografía, el clima y la serendipia geológica.

Few Earth science concepts are as controversial and enticing as the Gaia hypothesis—the idea, first introduced by chemist James Lovelock and microbiologist Lynn Margulis in the 1970s, that Earth ...

Cyclic changes of fluid pressure in fault zones can induce slow-slip events that advance in the direction of fluid flow, even when the faults are stable.

Prospects for mitigating sea level rise by slowing flows of glacial ice into the ocean are worthy of research, but this work must involve all rights holders and stakeholders. Rising seas are ...
