A new study led by researchers at the Earth-Life Science Institute (ELSI) at Institute of Science Tokyo challenges a long-standing assumption about Earth's most extreme ice ages. Using numerical ...
A research team led by scientists at the Butantan Institute in São Paulo, Brazil, has completed the most extensive genetic sequencing of a jararaca viper to date. The focus of the study was the genome ...
Earth experienced several periods in its history when ice covered nearly the entire planet, known as snowball Earth events. A study at the Earth-Life Science Institute at Institute of Science Tokyo ...
Between 720 million and 635 million years ago, Earth may have experienced one of ...

A continental collision trapped oil within what is today Iran. The same collision explains why that oil is trapped behind the Strait of Hormuz now ...
There is an area of reduced gravity under Antarctica — the so-called gravity hole. A new study has shown that it arose due to the slow movements of rocks in the depths of the Earth, which occurred ...
Gravity may seem constant, but it actually varies across the planet—and one of the strangest places is Antarctica, where gravity is slightly weaker than expected. Scientists have traced this “gravity ...
New geological analysis of river sands near Stonehenge has debunked the long-held theory that Ice Age glaciers transported the monument's massive stones. Scientists found no evidence of distant rocks ...
One fifth of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas shipments typically pass through the narrow Strait of Hormuz on their ...
A new study argues that the Great Unconformity, one of geology’s most famous gaps, began far earlier than many researchers had proposed. Drawing on data from ancient rocks in North China, the paper ...
