Study: Earth’s inner core may have reversed its rotation
Earth’s inner core may have reversed its rotation, according to a team of researchers from China. The team’s peer-reviewed study was published Monday, Jan. 23, in the journal Nature Geoscience. The reversal of the inner core rotation would shorten the length of the day by a fraction of a millisecond over the course of a year, which […]

Study shows gullies on Mars’ southern hemisphere
Mars might have no active volcano and no streams of water to speak of, but it has vast shifting sand dunes that continually churn out gullies. That’s according to a study published recently in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, which shows that gullies form on the sand dunes in the planet’s south every Martian spring. How the Martian seasons drive […]

“Superionic” minerals flow through Earth’s deep mantle, according to study
A recent study published in the journal Nature Geoscience suggests that Earth’s deep mantle likely harbors hydrous minerals that are in an extreme phase of water known as “superionic ice.” Also called “superionic water,” superionic ice is black, hot and several times heavier than normal ice. This strange phase has both solid and liquid properties at the same time – the hydrogen […]

Ice cores from top-secret Army base reveal Greenland was largely ice-free millions of years ago
A new study published in the journal PNAS suggests that Greenland might have been largely ice-free millions of years ago. Researchers arrived at this conclusion after studying ice core samples that U.S. Army scientists dug from a mile below northwestern Greenland in 1966 as part of a top-secret project codenamed “Iceworm.” The ice core was lost in a freezer for decades before it was […]

Vesuvius eruption wiped out people of Pompeii because it lasted longer than 15 minutes, study finds
A new study suggests that the eruption of Mount Vesuvius two millennia ago may have killed the inhabitants of the ancient city of Pompeii because it lasted longer than 15 minutes. The majority of the victims died of asphyxiation, or suffocation, caused by a giant cloud of ash and toxic gases. In a study published in the […]

Scientists explore lava tubes in Hawaii to prepare for Mars and moon exploration
Researchers are plumbing the depths of Mauna Loa in Hawaii to study the volcano’s lava tubes. The researchers wear bulky suits like those required for space exploration while navigating volcanic terrain and conducting research. Besides studying the environment and organisms living there, the team’s goal is to prepare for the unique challenges of living in space, particularly on Mars and the […]

Study: Rolling blocks of dry ice create gullies on Mars
Gullies on Mars have fascinated scientists for some time. These sawtoothed networks of narrow channels commonly appear on Martian slopes. They look just like gullies on Earth and give the impression that powerful streams of water recently cascaded the surface. But all of the water on the Red Planet has been hidden underground or locked up on the poles as […]

Massive tsunami that hit Britain 8,200 years ago would wipe out present-day cities in Scotland – study
A new study published in the journal Boreas suggests that the massive tsunami that hit the U.K. around 8,200 years ago will wipe out modern-day cities and towns in Scotland if it happens again today. Called the Storegga tsunami, the event was triggered by a submarine landslide in the Norwegian Sea, north of the U.K. It is widely considered the largest natural […]

Massive “ocean” hidden in Earth’s mantle linked to deep-focus earthquakes, research suggests
A massive “ocean” hidden in the Earth’s mantle may be triggering earthquakes that originate deep in the planet’s interior. This is what researchers from Carnegie Institute for Science and University of Alberta in Canada suggest in their study, which links fluids trapped in rocks deep underground to so-called deep-focus earthquakes. The researchers detailed their findings in a paper published May 26 in the journal AGU […]

Earth’s mantle houses the remains of the ancient planet Theia, researchers suggest
Researchers hypothesize that massive blobs of dense rocks hugging Earth’s core may be the sunken remains of Theia, a Mars-sized protoplanet thought to have smashed into the young Earth billions of years ago. Qian Yuan, a doctoral student of geodynamics at Arizona State University and the lead researcher of the study, presented their hypothesis during the 52nd Lunar and Planetary Science Conference, which was held […]
