The Mid-Atlantic Ridge in Iceland. This area is the boundary between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, which move apart ~ 2.5 cm/year. Subduction and the formation of continents, a ...

For over half a billion years, Earth’s magnetic field has risen and fallen in sync with oxygen levels in the atmosphere, and scientists are finally uncovering why. A NASA-led study reveals a striking ...

For years, scientists believed that changes in the Earth's interior, such as volcanic eruptions and tectonic plate collisions, primarily affected the surface environment. Events such as the mass ...

Scientists have traced the origins of complex life to the breakup of the supercontinent Nuna 1.5 billion years ago. This tectonic shift reduced volcanic carbon emissions, expanded shallow seas, and ...

Geologists from the University of Hong Kong (HKU) have made a breakthrough in understanding how Earth's early continents formed during the Archean time, more than 2.5 billion years ago. Their findings ...

Geomorphology – the study of landforms and the processes that shape the Earth’s surface – integrates observations of tectonic, fluvial, glacial, aeolian, and coastal dynamics to explain landscape ...

Bowdoin's EOS faculty are geologists, mineralogists, oceanographers, paleoceanographers, biogeochemists, and hydrologists. They're creative thinkers and stimulating mentors. The department's faculty ...

Wild animals are not just inhabitants of the natural world. Many also act as natural landscape engineers, reshaping Earth's ...
