The “music” of starquakes – enormous vibrations caused by bursting bubbles of gas that ripple throughout the bodies of many stars – can reveal far more information about the stars’ histories and inner workings than scientists thought.
A new study reveals how much CO₂ was released to the atmosphere from the polar Southern Ocean in a period of rapid global warming between 18,000 and 11,000 years ago – and what factors were responsible.
A new paper documents a highly enigmatic tiny “fish” fossil from a remote location close to the Northern Territory border. This animal lived in the shallow margins of a marine environment about 400 million years ago.
A new study of rock samples from the floor of the Pacific Ocean has found a strange increase in the radioactive isotope beryllium-10 from 10 million years ago. This finding opens new pathways for geologists to date past events gleaned from deep within the oceans.
An "earthquake swarm" iscurrently affecting the Greek island of Santorini and other nearby islands in the Aegean Sea. How exactly does an “earthquake swarm” happen?
Without climate and weather models we would be flying blind, both for short-term weather events and for our long-term future. But how do they work – and how are they different?
