For years, scientists have been trying to understand the mechanisms behind the destruction of Earth’s cratons, but results have remained elusive. Now, in a Nature Geoscience study, researchers ...

Climate, tectonics and time combine to create powerful forces that craft the face of our planet. Add the gradual sculpting of the Earth’s surface by rivers and what to us seems solid as rock is ...

A comprehensive study of the reserve and production potential of the Barnett shale integrates engineering, geology, and economics into a numerical model that allows for scenario testing based on ...

Geoscientists have discovered a new process in plate tectonics which shows that tremendous damage occurs to areas of Earth's crust long before it should be geologically altered by known plate-boundary ...

The completed 3D geological model defines a historical high-grade copper shell at the 100%-owned Bornite Project, identifies priority expansion targets on the southeast and northwest flanks, and outli ...

Earth’s surface is the “living skin” of our planet—it connects the physical, chemical, and biological systems. Over geological time, landscapes change as this surface evolves, regulating the carbon ...
