In an analysis of the past 1.2 million years, UC Santa Barbara geologist Lorraine Lisiecki discovered a pattern that connects the regular changes of the Earth's orbital cycle to changes in the Earth's ...
The pattern of geological boundaries may not be as unstable as people have thought, as these boundaries exist between geological wedges of time, like eons, periods, and epochs. Each of these wedges is ...
A new international study published in Earth and Planetary Science Letters reveals that the boundaries between geological epochs and periods, even though randomly distributed, follow a hidden, ...
New research published in the journal Geoscience Frontiers highlights the cyclic patterns of geologic activity on Earth. Scientists from New York University report findings from an analysis of major ...
(A–B) Locations of mapped dune fields on (A) Earth and (B) Mars. (C–D) Examples of mapping and interaction identification on (C) linear dunes in Tanami Desert, Australia, and (D) crescentic dunes at ...
Scientists say strategically brightening marine clouds over the Pacific could weaken major El Niño events in climate ...
A new global study is offering a clearer view of how some of the world’s most valuable mineral deposits form, tracing their origins deep beneath Earth’s surface. Scientists have created an atlas of ...
Researchers have analyzed the shifting patterns of entire dune fields on Earth and Mars, as seen from orbit, and found they are a direct signature of recent environmental change. This new tool can be ...
