In his research, the geomorphologist seeks connections among landscape evolution, biodiversity, and human history.
The results could help scientists unravel the processes underlying plate tectonics.
Applied in the field, a new model reduced quakes from oil and gas processes; could help manage seismic events from carbon sequestration.
Researchers find improvement in relative retention of women but predict decades of sustained effort are required to achieve gender parity.
Study finds Earth’s frozen surfaces became less susceptible to thawing, potentially locking in more carbon than expected.
Findings show how the trace metal is chemically altered in the anoxic, modern ocean and provide the basis for investigating paleorecords of atmosphere composition shifts.
Following touchdown, MOXIE will brew up oxygen while geologists comb for sediments to sample.
The record shows ancient temperature variations coinciding with shifts in the planet’s biodiversity.
Former Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering head and AGU president revolutionized thinking about the global water cycle, raising it to a place of prominence in the geosciences, and inspiring generations of students.
MIT EAPS researchers find the impressive mountain range formed over a series of impacts, not a single event, as previously thought.
Simulations rule out plasmas caused by meteoroid impacts as the source of lunar magnetism, supporting the proposal that the ancient moon generated a core dynamo.
As part of NASA’s Mars 2020 mission, Professor Tanja Bosak helps determine the best samples to bring home for clues about life 4 billion years ago.
Study suggests parts of the Sierra Nevadas formed in a “geologic instant,” more than twice as fast as previously thought.
