Using Einstein's theory of general relativity, physicists found that clocks on the moon would run 56 microseconds faster than clocks on Earth. That finding will help future lunar missions navigate.

Large-scale disruptions to life may ultimately increase ecological complexity over geologic timescales, though the risk of extinction always looms.

Dissolved carbon dioxide may have bubbled up from magma far below Earth's surface, contributing to prolonged warming.

The near-complete database reflects a spirit of trust and collaboration among the country’s scientific community — but will it last?

Nevada is becoming a major producer of lithium, thanks to topography, climate, and geologic serendipity.

Rain has so far been ignored in calculations of the ocean's capacity to take up carbon, but a new estimate shows it enhances the ocean sink by 5% to 7%.

More than a thousand years ago, Heaven Lake flooded the surrounding area when the Changbaishan-Tianchi volcano, on the border between China and North Korea, erupted.

Experiments show how concentrations of rare earth elements, critical to the green energy transition, might be hiding in plain sight in iron-rich deposits around the world.

A new study builds on previous research into the underwater volcano's effects on the climate.

New geoarchaeological research shows that metalworking in ancient Egypt led to significant contamination in a nearby port.

The Sea of Tranquility is home to at least one lunar lava tube, which could preserve a pristine and unweathered record of lunar volcanism.

A massive disturbance in the solar wind caused Earth’s magnetosphere to fly without its usual tail.

When Hunga erupted in 2022, ash "decimated" slow-moving species living on the seafloor. More mobile species were able to hoof it out of harm's way.

Researchers found the 2023 Morocco earthquake was triggered by movement miles below Earth's surface.

Paleostress modeling shows how a region of the Andean Plateau was uplifted and formed beginning more than 20 million years ago.

Cumulus clouds rapidly dissipate as the land surface cools. This isn't just good news for eclipse chasers on April 8, but also has implications for sun-obscuring geoengineering efforts.

An undersea volcanic plateau in the southwestern Atlantic was a tropical island 45 million years ago.

Bits of glass called Hiroshimaites may have formed by processes similar to those that formed the sun and the planets.
