Volcanologists from the University of Leicester have uncovered one of the world's best-preserved accessible examples of a monstrous landslide that followed a huge volcanic eruption on the Canarian island of Tenerife. View More (2011-10-03)
Rebecca boldly goes from star-gazing to space research
A Kingston University graduate is about to set off on an academic mission to discover if there is life on other planets. Earth and planetary science specialist Rebecca Blackhurst hopes to land a research job at America's National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) at the end of her trek through the academic world. First she intends to finish her postgraduate quest for signs of water and... View More (2003-06-27)
Biologist and geologist honoured in major international prizes
A Swiss developmental biologist, Walter Gehring, and a French geologist, Xavier Le Pichon, have each been awarded a prize of 1,000,000 Swiss Francs for their work on genes that control the development of the eye, and plate tectonics respectively. [Note: Swiss Francs 1 million is equivalent to £431,000 or US$ 667,000]. They were the two science winners of the four major annual awards... View More (2002-09-10)

The Brief but Violent Life of Monogenetic Volcanoes
A new study in the journal Geology is shedding light on the brief but violent lives of maar-diatreme volcanoes, which erupt when magma and water meet in an explosive marriage below the surface of the earth. View More (2012-10-04)
Anthropocene Continues to Spark Scientific Debate
How have humans influenced Earth? Can geoscientists measure when human impacts began overtaking those of Earth's other inhabitants and that of the natural Earth system? View More (2012-11-02)
Earth-bound asteroids carried ever-evolving, life-starting organic compounds
Detailed analysis of the most pristine meteorite ever recovered shows that the composition of the organic compounds it carried changed during the early years of the solar system. View More (2011-06-10)
DFG Awards 2004 Bernd Rendel Prize - Six Young Geoscientists Honoured
The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) awarded the Bernd Rendel Prize to six young researchers from the field of geology on 25 February 2005 in Tübingen, Germany. This is the second time that the prize has been given since its inception in 2002. The awards, worth EUR2000 each, are designed to enable young scientists who have not yet received their doctorate to... View More (2005-03-02)
'New' ancient Antarctic sediment reveals climate change history
Recent additions to the premier collection of Southern Ocean sediment cores at Florida State University's Antarctic Marine Geology Research Facility will give international scientists a close-up look at fluctuations that occurred in Antarctica's ice sheet and marine and terrestrial life as the climate cooled considerably between 20 and 14 million years ago.

Old maps and dead clams help solve coastal boulder mystery
Perched atop the sheer coastal cliffs of Ireland's Aran Islands, ridges of giant boulders have puzzled geologists for years. What forces could have torn these rocks from the cliff edges high above sea level and deposited them far inland? View More (2012-05-01)
Rocks could reveal secrets of life on Earth - and Mars
A new UK project could help detect evidence for life on Mars, as well as improve our understanding of how it evolved on Earth. The aim is to develop a technique that can identify biomolecules in water that have been trapped in rocks for millions to billions of years. As well as analysing samples from Earth, the proposed technique could be used to obtain important information from water sealed... View More (2003-10-09)
