Iron isotopes in pyrite are frequently used to better understand environmental conditions throughout our planet’s history, going back to sedimentary archives dating back billions of years. A team of researchers […]
This study explains the heat transfer between a magma reservoir and the surrounding rock in the high-enthalpy geothermal exploration area of Krafla, Iceland. Thermomechanical numerical models explain the sudden jump […]
What forms does life take on Earth? This is the question asked by scientists from the University of Toulouse and the CNRS, who are exploring the morphological limits of life […]
As part of the MACIV project, funded by the French National Research Agency (ANR), a team of scientists deployed the largest mobile seismological network ever installed by a university team […]
The scarlet lands covering the plains and plateaus of West Africa are much more than just a typical tropical landscape. These laterites bear witness to a geological history spanning tens […]
The Perseverance rover has uncovered sedimentary rocks containing minerals and organic matter organized into structures never before seen on Mars, opening up new perspectives on the Red Planet’s past habitability. […]
From the Chauvet cave to the Ile d’Yeu, prehistoric sites are under close surveillance. The hope: to understand how climate change threatens them. And prevent the disappearance of cave paintings. […]
ow did continents appear on Earth? This question, crucial to understanding the emergence of civilizations and life itself, remains one of the great mysteries of the early stages of planetary […]
2.9-billion-year-old marine sedimentary rocks from Canada’s Red Lake region reveal areas of oxygen accumulation at a time when the oceans were globally anoxic and iron-rich. These oxygen oases played a […]
