By systematically assessing data gathered by different methods, researchers refined estimates of global glacier melt and its ...

At the uppermost reaches of stream networks, headwaters dry up during the summer, then burst back into existence when spring brings rain. These nonperennial headwater streams are individually small, ...

Newly discovered aseismic events triggered by the 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquake may represent a mode of fault slip between earthquakes and slow-slip events that researchers have long been seeking.

A new study uses inversions of orbital gravity and magnetic field data to argue for the presence of ancient, long-lasting hydrothermal systems on Mars.

New Antarctic ice core data bolster model predictions of ocean heat content during glacials and interglacials.

The Antarctic ice sheet behaves like a non-Newtonian fluid and may be more nonlinear than previously thought. This impacts ...

Drainage divide migration is influenced by tectonics and climate over long periods. New research in Israel shows that even shorter-term wet-dry cycles can move divides.

The planet’s elusive aurorae are much colder than expected, which is how they evaded detection for so long.

A new analysis of a fossil found in 1889 has unveiled the presence of zeolites—and an entirely new mineralization method.

Because salt has been detected on Mars, it is likely that Martian mudflows are also salty, much like Earth’s mud volcanoes, ...

Like heat waves, these periods of high atmospheric demand for water can damage crops and ecosystems and increase pressure on ...

A new study deepens understanding of magnetic field behavior recently discovered by NASA in Earth’s magnetosphere.
