Crustal limestone platforms feed carbon to many of Earth’s arc volcanoes
A new analysis suggests that much of the carbon released from volcanic arcs, chains of volcanoes that arise along the tectonic plates of a...
Scientists shed light on carbon’s descent into the deep Earth
Examining conditions within the Earth's interior is crucial not only to give us a window back to Earth's history but also to understand the...

Mars
Hot rocks, not warm atmosphere, led to relatively recent water-carved valleys...
Present-day Mars is a frozen desert, colder and more arid than Antarctica, and scientists are fairly sure it's been that way for at least...
Rover findings indicate stratified lake on ancient Mars
A long-lasting lake on ancient Mars provided stable environmental conditions that differed significantly from one part of the lake to another, according to a...

How a young-looking lunar volcano hides its true age
While orbiting the Moon in 1971, the crew of Apollo 15 photographed a strange geological feature -- a bumpy, D-shaped depression about two miles...
More Earth-like than moon-like
Mars' mantle may be more complicated than previously thought. In a new study published today in the Nature-affiliated journal Scientific Reports, researchers at LSU...
