Earth Sciences

Earth Sciences (also referred to as Geosciences), which deals with basic issues surrounding our planet, plays a vital role in the area of energy and raw materials supply.

Earth Sciences comprises subjects such as geology, geography, geological informatics, paleontology, mineralogy, petrography, crystallography, geophysics, geodesy, glaciology, cartography, photogrammetry, meteorology and seismology, early-warning systems, earthquake research and polar research.

Exploring the deep: drones offer new ways to monitor sea floor

Measuring the position and topography of the earth’s crust is critical for understanding earthquake risk. Now, researchers led by the Institute of Industrial Science, The University of Tokyo have developed…

In New Zealand on the traces of climate change

At Te Waewae Bay near Waihōpai (Invercargill), unusual activities are taking place in November. Extensive measurements are being carried out in the far south of New Zealand to study the…

Tiniest ever ancient seawater pockets revealed

Findings could open up a whole new chapter in climate science and help identify subsurface locations to safely store hydrogen for carbon-free energy. Trapped for millennia, the tiniest liquid remnants…

Ice loss from Northeastern Greenland significantly underestimated

According to a new study that combined GPS, satellite data, and numerical modelling, ice loss from northeast Greenland could be six times greater by the end of the century than…

Mars’s crust more complex, evolved than previously thought

Early crust on Mars may be more complex than previously thought—and it may even be similar to our own planet’s original crust. The Martian surface is uniformly basaltic, a product…

The highest-ever recorded volcanic plume

Using images captured by satellites, researchers in the University of Oxford’s Department of Physics and RAL Space have confirmed that the January 2022 eruption of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai volcano…
