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

The rate of stars going supernova near Earth appears to match two mass extinctions -- 372 million years ago and 445 million ...

“It had been hypothesized that widespread glacial erosion of continental interiors could be caused by the Snowball Earth ice,” said Kirkland, a professor in the School of Earth and Planetary Sciences ...

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

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

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

Earth’s climate isn’t easy to cool down ... reaching such “ice house” temperatures requires a combination of rapid rock erosion removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and less ...

The timescales of Earth's natural processes are important to keep in mind. Over thousands, millions and billions of years, processes such as plate tectonics, erosion, and atmospheric cycles will ...

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

Published in Earth’s Future, an AGU journal ... Higher B7 levels indicate stronger, more stable soil, while lower levels suggest erosion. “Our isotope analysis revealed that buildings are ...
