New Curtin-led research has revealed that water played a far bigger role than previously thought in shaping Earth's first continents, transforming the planet's early crust and helping to build the landmasses we see today. In an article published in Communications...

Predictive power of climate models may be masked by volcanoes

Simulated volcanic eruptions may be blowing up our ability to predict near-term climate, according to a new study published in Science Advances. The research, led...

New models shed light on life’s origin

The first signs of life emerged on Earth in the form of microbes about four billion years ago. While scientists are still determining exactly...

Models show Tonga eruption increases chances of global temperature rising temporarily above 1.5 C

A team of researchers at the University of Oxford, working with a colleague from the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis, has created radiative...

Tsunami threats are greatly underestimated in current models, new research shows

The 2004 Sumatra earthquake generated one of the most destructive tsunamis ever recorded, with 100-foot waves that killed nearly 230,000 and resulted in an...

Hubble finds a protoplanet that could upend planet formation models

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has directly photographed evidence of a Jupiter-like protoplanet forming through what researchers describe as an "intense and violent process." This...
