For the first time, physicists at LLNL have demonstrated how an asteroid or comet impact could have created Stickney crater without destroying Phobos completely

A study that describes the Earth’s activity below the Greenland Ice Sheet is a valuable contribution to climate science, one expert says

Improved Earth system models paint bleak climate change picture

Warming climate triggers changes in forests' impact on cleaner water

With three new detectors coming online in the next several years, scientists are confident they will collect enough geoneutrino data to measure Earth’s fuel level

Though viewed as sources of potential green energy, their construction also poses a significant environmental cost

Using computer models of the warming process, the researchers simulated the effects of PETM ocean warming on sediments that may have contained methane hydrate

Jim Evans and collaborators study Utah's Carmel Formation

Researchers found that the bulk soil on Mars, across regional scales the size of the U.S. or larger, likely contains iron sulfates bearing chemically bound water, which typically result in acidic brines

Getting clean water to communities in parched areas of the planet remains an ongoing challenge. Recent developments that harvest water from air have been proposed as a solution
