Madagascar's landscape tells a story of deep time: ancient rifting and geological tilting sculpted the island's dramatic topography and steered its rivers, setting the stage for the evolution of its ...

Led by UNM Ph.D. student Hyunwoo Lee, the lead author of the paper titled "Massive and prolonged deep carbon emissions associated with continental rifting" published in Nature Geoscience, the ...

Recent seismic research has unveiled a fascinating geological phenomenon occurring beneath the Pacific Northwest. The Earth’s crust is tearing apart, a process driven by tectonic forces in the region.

The emergence of plate tectonics in the late 1960s led to a paradigm shift from fixism to mobilism of global tectonics, providing a unifying context for the previously disparate disciplines of Earth ...
