The Role of Deep Mantle Currents in Shaping Earth’s Surface
A new study suggests that the breakup of the ancient supercontinent Gondwana generated waves that slowly propagated beneath the continents for tens of millions of years, shaping their surface.
Oxygen depletion in Earth’s freshwater and marine ecosystems is approaching alarming levels, threatening global stability. Scientists call for its recognition as a planetary boundary to spur urgent research and policy action.
Rising Antarctica: Melting Glaciers and Continental Uplift
A new study focusing on ice melt in Antarctica and its effects, reveals that the impact of continental uplift on sea levels is influenced by the rate of glacier melting.
Natural metal nodules release oxygen in the dark depths of the ocean, challenging the long-held belief that oxygen production is impossible without photosynthesis.
