Super-wet magma can generate economically valuable Copper deposits

Scientists discover rare evidence that the Earth is peeling underneath the Sierra Nevada

Earth's First Crust May Have Looked Surprisingly Like The One We Have Today, New Study Suggests

This Is the Most Detailed Map of Antarctica Ever Made - Scientists compiled decades of data to reveal the continent hiding beneath millions of miles of ice.

We thought that when sea level dropped during the glacial maximum, the Red Sea became hyper-saline, and everything died

Volatile organic compounds (VOC) , usually associated with poor indoor air, were discovered in Finland in a borehole more than two kilometres deep

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

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
