In 2024, researchers transformed readings of an epic upheaval of Earth’s magnetic field flipping 41,000 years ago into an eerie, auditory experience. Now a team containing some of those same scientists has sonified an even earlier flip, from epochs ago. The resulting cacophony is an unnerving translation of geological data on the Matuyama-Brunhes reversal, a switching of the planet’s magnetic …

A new study published in iScience reveals intriguing insights into the evolutionary origins of mammals through the detailed analysis of 380-million-year-old lungfish jawbones found in the Gogo fossil field, located in northern Western Australia. This cutting-edge research offers a unique glimpse into the predatory habits of ancient lungfish and their significant role in the transition from aquatic to terrestrial life. …

Humans have built so many dams around the world that the Earth’s poles have wandered away from the planet’s rotational axis, new research suggests. Over the last 200 years, humans have constructed nearly 7,000 massive dams, impounding enough water to nudge the Earth’s poles by about three feet (one meter) and cause a 0.83-inch (21-millimeter) drop in global sea levels, …

The highest point on Earth’s surface is the top of Mount Everest, which towers more than 29,000 feet (8,800 meters) above sea level. But what’s the lowest point on land? The lowest spot on dry land are the banks of the Dead Sea in the Middle East. These lie about 1,300 feet (430 m) below sea level, according to the …

The North Sea, a region known for its rich history and vital role in energy production, holds a surprising geological anomaly. A study led by scientists from the University of Manchester has uncovered a phenomenon where the typical process of geologic layering is reversed. Known as stratigraphic inversion, this discovery challenges our fundamental understanding of how Earth’s layers are formed. …

Niagara Falls pulls in tourists by the boatload. Angel Falls towers higher than city skyscrapers. Yet both pale in comparison to Earth’s largest waterfall – an enormous, rushing torrent concealed below Arctic waves. The Denmark Strait cataract drops in slow motion beneath the chilly surface between Iceland and Greenland. The chute begins thousands of feet down, rolls over …

The effects of climate change could awaken hundreds of volcanoes worldwide – which in turn could worsen the effects of climate change. According to recent models predicting changes in the magma beneath Patagonia’s glaciers, the retreat of ice has the power to shake subglacial volcanoes out of their slumber. The world isn’t at imminent risk of volcanic bombardment, but the …
