Rootless cones (pseudocraters in Iceland, Hawaii and Mars) form when lava covers a water-containing layer, triggering explosive reactions

New Research Shows That Reservoirs of Magma beneath Yellowstone National Park Appear To Be On The Move

Geologists Uncover Signs of a Critical Separation Between the Cool Continental Crust and Mantle Deep Beneath California

New research explains the probable locations and mechanisms of accumulations of critical metals at the margins of old cores of continents.

'Mystery volcano' that erupted and cooled Earth in 1831 has finally been identified

Formation of Himalayas may have erased 30% of continental crust: study

The Indian Ocean is home to an underwater mountain range longer than the North American Rockies

Unlocking the journey of gold through magmatic fluids - An innovative approach has demonstrated that sulphur, in its bisulphide (HS-) form, is crucial for the transport of gold in magmatic fluids, revolutionising our understanding of gold transport and ore deposit formation.

Moon may be up to 200 million years older than generally-accepted age of 4.35 billion years derived from Apollo rock samples; that age may derive from a tidal heating event

U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Healy crew and embarked science teams discover volcano-like underw

Geologists have uncovered strong evidence from Colorado that massive glaciers covered Earth down to the equator hundreds of millions of years ago

Until now, the cause of the cataclysmic Hunga Tonga volcanic eruption has remained largely a mystery to the scientific community, yet a student-led team of ANU seismologists has been able to shed new light on the natural explosion that initiated the event

Scratching the Surface: How geology shaped American culture

Scientists May Have Found Origin of One of History's Most Important Inventions

Engineering Geology of the BART System (2000)

When quartz is repeatedly stressed by earthquakes, it generates piezoelectric voltages that can reduce dissolved gold from the surrounding fluid, causing it to deposit

Humanity needs more rare earth elements. Extinct volcanoes could be a rich new source

New dating of a major ancient warming shows warming started before major eruptions

Earth may have had a ring system 466 million years ago

Enhanced chemical weathering following continental breakup may have driven a succession of Mesozoic oceanic anoxic events, according to tectonic and biogeochemical modelling

New modeling of the melting of the Thwaites Glacier shows that it is unlikely to collapse from marine ice cliff instability during this century, using three separate models; however, results do not indicate that the ice sheet is stable

The rocky walls of volcanoes are studded with crystals, formed underground in hot magma

Iceland’s recent volcanic eruption series was driven by magma that pooled underwater for a year before explosively erupting, possibly indicating that a centuries-long period of occasional eruptions has begun
