A new scientific atlas has just redrawn the map of Antarctica’s seafloor—and what it reveals could alter how researchers model sea-level rise, ocean circulation, and the continent’s past. The study, published in Marine Geology and led by researchers from the University of Barcelona and University College Cork, identifies 332 previously unmapped submarine canyons hiding beneath the Antarctic margin—five times more …

Scientists have mapped 332 Antarctic canyon networks to help assess the future course of climate breakdown. The research, published in the journal Marine Geology, shows in high resolution submarine valleys that can reach down more than 4,000 metres, more than twice the depth of the Grand Canyon in the US. The resulting data shows that the canyons may have a …

In a surprising twist, two of Arizona’s most iconic landmarks—Meteor Crater and the Grand Canyon—may be linked by a cosmic event that occurred around 56,000 years ago. According to a new study, the asteroid responsible for forming Meteor Crater might also have played a key role in creating a temporary lake within the Grand Canyon. Cosmic Impact and Geological Shake-Up …

In a groundbreaking study published in Marine Geology, researchers have uncovered a total of 332 submarine canyons under Antarctica’s icy expanse, revealing five times more than previously documented. This new research not only deepens our understanding of the Southern Ocean’s underwater features but also highlights the significant role these canyons play in ocean circulation, ice-shelf dynamics, and global climate change. …

GRAND CANYON NATIONAL PARK, Ariz. (AP) — Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs toured the destruction left by a wildfire along the Grand Canyon’s North Rim, on Saturday, surveying what she described as devastating damage. The governor, who has called for an investigation into how the blaze was handled, sought to gather information ahead of meetings with federal officials next week. She …
