Research on hidden structures deep within Earth’s mantle challenges theories about our planet’s middle layer and could ...

While most of us take the ground beneath our feet for granted, written within its complex layers, like the pages of a book, is Earth's history.

Iron is one of the main elements found in the Earth's inner core, which is characterized by extremely high temperatures and ...

The ice core spans at least 1.2 million years of Earth’s climate history. Air bubbles and particles trapped inside the ice could also reveal why the planet’s ice ages suddenly became longer ...

Scientists have captured faint magnetic signatures resulting from the tidal movement of seawater across the planet — and they ...

Scientists have discovered hidden treasures in the Earth's mantle. Hidden deep within Earth's mantle are two colossal ...

Earth’s magnetic north is not static. Like an anchorless buoy pushed by ocean waves, the magnetic field is constantly on the move as liquid iron sloshes around in the planet’s outer core.

“We have a strong indication that the uppermost 2,480 meters contain a climate record that goes back to 1.2 million years in ...

An international team of Earth and environmental scientists has found evidence that the Ronne Ice Shelf in the West Antarctic ...

Led by The Institute of Polar Sciences of the National Research Council of Italy (ISP-CNR), the scientists worked for more than 200 days, drilling into the ice and processing the ice core at a remote ...

One of the best ways to assemble the puzzle pieces of Earth’s past is hiding deep beneath its white polar sheets: ice cores. These frozen time capsules preserve air bubbles from thousands of ...
