Roughly 252 million years ago, Earth experienced its deadliest known extinction. Known as the Permian–Triassic Mass ...

New research from HKU geologists suggests that Earth's first continents were born not from plate tectonics, but from deep ...

A new study reveals that these missing pieces may not have been absent from the start but were instead lost during violent ...

They reveal that the chemical composition of the deep mantle has remained almost intact since the Earth's formation 4.5 ...

People have long scratched their heads trying to understand how life ever got going after the formation of Earth billions of years ago. Now, chemists have partly unlocked the recipe by creating a ...

A new experiment shows how complex molecules crucial for life could have been synthesized from early Earth’s basic ingredients.

Earth experiences growing mechanical stress from carbon emissions, revealing hidden climate thresholds and system weakening.

Plate tectonics give Earth its mountains, earthquakes, continental drift and maybe even helped give rise to life itself. But do other planets in the solar system have them too?

Geochemists journey to the center of the Earth in the lab, conducting experiments at extreme temperatures and pressures to unlock the planet’s chemistry.

Iron-depleted, oxidized chemistry in Earth’s continental crust likely didn’t come from crystallization of the mineral garnet ...
