Researchers have discovered an unusual plume of magma beneath Oman that may have changed the course of the Indian tectonic plate between 25 million and 40 million years ago.

Previous planetary boundary assessments, including those as recent as 2023, had judged ocean acidification to be nearing its critical limit but not yet beyond it.

A ‘ghost plume’ identified deep in the mantle beneath Oman suggests there may be more heat flowing out of Earth’s core than previously thought ...

This surpassed planetary boundary directly impacts seven others. Novel entities, most notably plastic, have also passed the safe threshold and are impacting other planetary boundaries.

In the 2017 Earth science decadal survey, the community indicted broad interest in improving measurements of the planetary boundary layer. To this end, NASA competed and formed the PBL Incubation ...

John Wheeler: Lingering winter cold and freezing rain are byproducts of the boundary layer It is not unusual for the air temperature within the boundary layer to be quite different from the air above.

The Earth is dangerously close to breaching its seventh planetary boundary, with ocean acidification approaching a critical threshold, according to a new report from the Potsdam Institute for ...
