How did Earth transform from a hostile, acidic ocean world to one that nurtured life? Scientists at Yale and in Singapore ...

and broadly encompasses solid Earth processes, surface and atmospheric dynamics, Earth system history, climate and climate change, marine and freshwater systems, and ecology. It also considers the ...

This course explores surface processes across Earth’s dynamic landscapes. Focusing on mountain, hillslope, river and coastal environments, the course investigates how and why these landscapes change ...

The cool conditions which have allowed ice caps to form on Earth are rare events in the planet’s history and require many complex processes working at once, according to new research.

Earth’s inner core is shifting, slowing, and reshaping. Scientists study its impact on magnetic fields, pole movement, and ...

Scientists at Yale and in Singapore have devised what may be the ultimate acid test — a comprehensive model for estimating the origins of Earth’s habitability, based in part on ocean acidity. The new ...

New research reveals that Earth and Mars lost essential elements due to violent cosmic collisions, not early planetary ...

Iraq is sinking. Or, to be exact, the region surrounding the Zagros Mountains in the country’s north is. A team of ...

This observation, combined with a thickened crust, points to a process known as lithospheric dripping. Lithospheric dripping occurs when dense fragments of Earth's crust and upper mantle detach ...

bridging a longstanding gap between surface processes and processes deep in the Earth," said Jun Korenaga, a professor of Earth and planetary sciences in Yale's Faculty of Arts and Sciences ...
