When Earth was a molten inferno, water may have been locked safely underground rather than lost to space. Researchers ...

Scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery that challenges our understanding of Earth’s structure: an ocean located deep within the Earth’s mantle. This hidden reservoir could rival the volume of ...

“Water changes everything about the way a planet works.” With those words, Graham Pearson, a foremost expert on deep Earth minerals, conveyed the scale of a breakthrough that is revolutionizing our ...

Early Earth got much of its water from relentless bombardment by water-rich asteroids and icy comets. Now, scientists say the young planet had a way to hold onto much more of that water than once ...

Some 4.6 billion years ago, Earth was nothing like the gentle blue planet we know today. Frequent and violent celestial impacts churned its surface and interior into a seething ocean of magma—an ...

New study explains how winter sea ice and melting ice shelves control the formation of deep ocean water in Antarctica.

Scientists discovered deep Arctic methane mounds that release gas, shape ecosystems, and inform climate risks.

There could be a large body of water buried deep beneath the Earth's surface containing as much water as in every ocean combined, according to new scientific research. You know, just your average ...

Researchers have discovered there was an anomaly in Earth's gravitational field between 2006 and 2008, potentially caused by a mineral shift deep within Earth's mantle. GRACE satellites detected a ...

At the bottom of the world’s trenches, there’s a fish that shouldn’t exist. Here’s how it earned the title of the ...
