Scientists Reveal That the Red Sea Completely Vanished 6.2 Million Years Ago

KAUST researchers discovered that the Red Sea experienced a massive disruption 6.2 million years ago, completely transforming its marine life. Researchers at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) have confirmed that the Red Sea once completely dried up around 6.2 million years ago, only to be suddenly refilled by a catastrophic influx of [...]

Global human population is pushing Earth past its breaking point

Earth has already exceeded its ability to support the global population sustainably, with new research warning of increasing pressure on food security, climate stability, and human well-being. However, slowing population growth and raising global awareness could still offer humanity some hope.

#askfedi is there anyone here who was involved in the struggle for #Lützerath and the fight against the #Garzweiler mine?

This Saturday the 28th I am taking a group of 20 #EarthSciences students to the mine and I would love it if they could also meet someone who was part of that #resistance movement.

Last year we did the same excursion, and we managed to find someone who could guide us through the deserted towns and share some memories. It made a very strong impression on the students.

Scientists Discover the Hidden Ingredient That Helped Form Earth’s Inner Core

Scientists found that carbon enabled Earth’s core to solidify. Without it, the inner core may not exist. A team of scientists from the University of Oxford, University of Leeds, and University College London has uncovered new evidence about the chemistry of Earth’s core by identifying how it was able to crystallize millions of years ago. [...]

Measuring Earth's Wobble Without Looking at the Stars

Most people are familiar with the fact that the Earth spins on its axis once every day. The spin however, isn’t as steady as you might think. Like a spinning top slowing down, Earth’s axis wobbles, scribing out a circle on the night sky that currently points very close to the Pole Star in the northern hemisphere. This wobble is driven by the shape of the Earth and for decades, this wobble has been tracked by a network of radio telescopes. A team of astronomers have measured this wobble to a level of accuracy that has never been achieved before.
