New research reveals how rock strength plays a crucial role in erosion, shaping landscapes over millions of years.

Since physical and chemical erosion yield comparable carbon fluxes, studying both together is essential to avoid biases in erosion-driven carbon flux estimates.

Led by Curtin University geologists Chris Kirkland and Tim Johnson, a research team unearthed this primeval crater beneath ...

A new study suggests glaciers carved metals out from the Earth’s surface 700 million years ago, leading to chemical reactions ...

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 ...

These results underscore the role that rock strength plays in crafting landscapes like the Rockies or the Great Plains; while ...

Erosion also breaks up the rocks that are carried by the river. Landslides are occasional, rapid movements of a mass of earth or rock sliding along a steep slope. They can occur after periods of ...

“This distinction sets up a great natural experiment for us to see if the shape, or size, of bends in rivers is distinct from ...

It was a respectable tenure, but the world’s oldest known meteorite site is no longer western Australia’s 2.2 ...
