In 2024, researchers from the universities of Oxford and Birmingham excavated a huge expanse of a quarry floor in Oxfordshire filled with hundreds of dinosaur footprints. Dating to the Middle Jurassic period (around 166 million years ago),...
Scientific and commercial activities on the moon could permanently change the lunar environment. These activities include sending vehicles to the moon, extracting its resources through mining the lunar surface, building facilities and extracting water from areas...

Earliest evidence of deep-cave rituals in Southwest Asia discovered

A cave in Galilee, Israel, has yielded evidence for ritualistic gatherings 35,000 years ago, the earliest on the Asian continent. Three Israeli researchers led...

Deep sea rocks suggest oxygen can be made without photosynthesis, deepening the mystery of life

Oxygen, the molecule that supports intelligent life as we know it, is largely made by plants. Whether underwater or on land, they do this...

Clues from deep magma reservoirs could improve volcanic eruption forecasts

New research into molten rock 20km below the Earth's surface could help save lives by improving the prediction of volcanic activity. Volcanic eruptions pose significant...

How a tip from a citizen scientist led to deep discoveries in Utah’s caves

Scientists from the Natural History Museum of Utah have taken a deep dive into the not-so-distant past thanks to a friendly tip from Utah's...

Are deep blue seas fading? Oceans turn to new hue across parts of Earth, study finds

A large swath of Earth's oceans changed color over the past 20 years—and human activity is suspected to have caused it, a new study...

Earth’s deep ocean oxygen levels are declining, shows study

Antarctica is a unique landscape, full of mystery and wonder. Its environments have a huge impact on the rest of the planet—on the climate,...

Study uses 560-kilometer-deep earthquake to make elusive measurements of the Earth’s layers

A new study from a University of Chicago scientist suggests there may be a layer of surprisingly fluid rock ringing the Earth, at the...
