Scientist makes a breakthrough in understanding the rupture mechanisms that eventually lead to seismic shifts along fault lines

GeoImage™ is used to optically determine the thermal maturity and energy content of coal, kerogen, and petroleum source rock rapidly and accurately

New study provides geochemical evidence showing that forest fires expanded dramatically in the past, potentially burning up to 30 or 40 percent of global forests

New research shows that the damage done by decades of nickel and copper mining has not only devastated local environments, but also affected the global carbon cycle

Take your trace element analysis to the next level

Researchers analyze more than 10,000 Martian valleys, using a novel algorithm to infer those valleys' underlying erosion processes

Using a regular smartphone camera and some 3D-printed tools, scientists have developed an easier way to measure soil density

An Arizona State University research team has, for the first time, tracked the entire California coast's vertical land motion

Researchers say scientists should develop new models that more accurately reflect the carbon-storage processes beneath our feet, in order to effectively draw down atmospheric CO₂
