First Evidence of Proto Earth: 4.5-Billion-Year-Old Materials Unearthed by Geologists
New Clues from the Deep Past: Proto Earth Resurfaces In a groundbreaking study published in Nature Geoscience, researchers from MIT and collaborating institutions report the most compelling evidence yet of proto Earth materials. These remnants, dating back roughly 4.5 billion years, predate the giant collision that shaped the Earth as we know it today. The…

North American Ice Sheets Triggered Most Sea-Level Rise Before 8,000–9,000 Years Ago
New Evidence Reframes the End of the Last Ice Age Groundbreaking findings published in Nature Geoscience reveal that melting ice sheets in North America played a far larger role in global sea-level rise during the final stages of the last ice age than previously thought. By examining ancient sediments and integrating a global data set,…

North American Ice Sheets Fueled End-Ice Age Sea-Level Rise
New findings rewrite the ice-melt narrative of the late last ice age Recent research led by Tulane University and published in Nature Geoscience upends decades of assumptions about how Earth’s oceans responded as the last ice age waned. The study shows that retreating North American ice sheets, not Antarctica, were the dominant driver of global…

North American Ice Sheets Triggered Most of the End-Ice-Age Sea-Level Rise, Study Finds
Breakthrough reshapes our view of last‑ice‑age sea level A Tulane University-led study has overturned long‑standing assumptions about the forces behind the dramatic global sea‑level rise that marked the end of the last ice age. The research, published in Nature Geoscience, finds that melting ice sheets in North America contributed far more to sea‑level rise between…

Moon Mantle Colder on Far Side: New Lunar Study Shifts Our History
New evidence of a colder far side mantle A Chinese-led team has reported a groundbreaking discovery about the Moon: the mantle beneath the far side is colder than the near side. The finding, published in Nature Geoscience on September 30, comes from meticulous analysis of lunar dust samples retrieved by the Chang’e 6 mission, a…

Cold Moon Mystery: Far Side Mantle Found Colder, Chinese Researchers Report
H2: Breakthrough on the Moon’s hemispheric dichotomy A new study published in Nature Geoscience reports that the Moon’s mantle on the far side is colder than the mantle on the near side. The finding, based on lunar samples from Chang’e 6, offers crucial insights into the Moon’s hemispheric dichotomy—the striking contrast between the near and…

New Findings Confirm: Moon’s Far Side Mantle Is Colder Than the Near Side
Groundbreaking Insight into the Moon’s Hemispheric Dichotomy The Moon’s far side has always intrigued scientists with its stark differences from the side facing Earth. A collaborative effort involving the Beijing Research Institute of Uranium Geology, the China National Nuclear Corp, Peking University, and Shandong University has produced a landmark finding: the lunar mantle on the…
