Curiosity detected over 20 organic molecules in 3.5-billion-year-old Martian rocks using a wet chemistry experiment, showing complex carbon compounds can survive for billions of years and may preserve...

GeoSPACE is the first geoscience field camp designed specifically to be accessible and inclusive for students and faculty with disabilities.

The sudden disappearance of large herbivores transformed landscapes after the asteroid impact.

Dinosaurs promoted open habitats in the Late Cretaceous, and their extinction could have led to a radical reorganization of the landscape and ecosystem structure at the beginning of the Paleogene, acc...

Local beach nourishment choices strongly affect regional shoreline change Frequent nourishment lowers efficiency but helps neighboring beaches through sand sharing Coordinated nourishment boosts...

The chemistry of the youngest lunar lavas and experiments show how the mantle stayed hot enough to melt for billions of years.

Assistant Professor of Geological Sciences Stephen Elardo's findings contradict previous theories on how and when the moon’s layers formed.

Glacial environments initially absorb greenhouse gases, but eventually emit them.

Soil samples from the far side of the Moon provide clues about the origin of lunar asymmetry and the effects of ‘mega-basin’ impacts on the evolution of rocky planets Soil samples from the far side of the Moon provide clues about the origin of lunar asymmetry and the effects of ‘mega-basin’ impacts on the evolution of rocky planets

Weathering of fresh comminuted sediment during glacial to interglacial transitions can result in net carbon dioxide sinks, whereas enhanced methanogenesis in deglaciated soils acts as a source of gree...

Assistant Professor of Geology Stephen Elardo will help NASA with plans for a potential landing in the moon's South Pole-Aitken Basin Crater.

Early-career geoscientists share melancholy memories about hard science and intangible networks of collaboration.

We believe that "accessible" also includes financial accessibility. For the past 3 years, all logistical costs have been covered by grants and not passed on to students. We also offer a needs-based st...

Do you ever wish you could have attended a Hydro field camp or learned to code in Python over the summer? Maybe a shorter, local field experience would have been practical for you? Many of our alumni ...
