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.

NASA to launch 4 Earth science missions in 2022

NASA will launch four Earth science missions in 2022 to provide scientists with more information about fundamental climate systems and processes including extreme storms, surface water and oceans, and atmospheric…

Yeast cells cause embedded objects to rise via the microbial Brazil nut effect

A phenomenon where microbe-generated gas bubbles create granular fluctuations at the wet sandy floors of rivers, oceans, and lakes has revealed more about the distribution of materials at the bottom…

Ocean tides are gatekeepers of groundwater discharge to Hawai‘i coastal zone

Submarine groundwater discharge is a process by which water exits coastal aquifers and enters the ocean. This can be terrestrial freshwater or salty seawater that intruded into the porous aquifer…

Large future changes in climate variability

New computer model simulations identify widespread changes in climate variability under sustained anthropogenic forcing. There is growing public awareness that climate change will impact society not only through changes in…

New research makes waves tackling the future of tsunami monitoring and modeling

The coastal zone is home to over a billion people. Rising sea levels are already impacting coastal residents and aggravating existing coastal hazards, such as flooding during high tides and…

Geophysicists detect electron dance deep inside the Earth, with a Twist

A new study detects the unique seismological signature of an electron spin crossover in the deep Earth. Most are aware that electrons are negatively charged particles that surround the nucleus…
