By coring the seabed at 850 m water depth in Disko Bay off Greenland's west coast, researchers from the University of Copenhagen have obtained the first historical record of plastic pollution in Greenland. The new data...
Biogeographical regions of marine organisms, i.e., their distribution across different habitats, often overlap well with the major global ocean currents. The geological age of the currents plays a major role in this. The ocean circulation patterns...
Paleontologists have identified a new ancient reptile from the Solnhofen limestone slabs, thanks to a chance discovery. A Ph.D. student recently found the counterpart of the original fossil at the Natural History Museum in London. The...
One of the great unsolved problems in modern planetary science is written on the surface of Mars. Mars has canyons that were carved by rivers, so it was once warm enough for liquid water. How—and why—did...
On March 28, 2025, a major earthquake with a moment magnitude (Mw) of 7.7 struck Mandalay, central Myanmar (referred to as the 2025 Myanmar earthquake). This event caused severe shaking and substantial damage in Myanmar and...

At the foot of Sainte Victoire, the mountain in Provence immortalized by Impressionist painter Paul Cezanne, a paleontologist brushes meticulously through a mound of red clay looking for fossils.
These are not any old fossils, but 75-million-year-old...

Earth's earliest life forms developed ways to survive the harmful effects of arsenic to cope with dramatic changes in their environment, a new study...
