From time to time, when Earth's tectonic plates shift, the planet emits a long, slow belch of carbon dioxide. In a new ...

Acid sulfate soils are characterized by their orange hue and their tendency to kill surrounding vegetation and fish. Anders ...

Using radioactive isotope systems to determine the age and origins of minerals and rocks, primarily as tracers of magmatic processes and the evolution of the earth. Organic molecules in natural waters ...

The Center for Isotope Geochemistry is a world-class facility for high-precision analysis of both radiogenic and stable isotopes on a wide range of materials. The Center is spread over two ...

Understanding the chemical processes affecting minerals, water, and air at high temperatures and pressures, typically deep below earth's surface. Specializing in high-precision isotopic analyses, ...

At the end of the last global ice age, the deep-frozen Earth reached a built-in limit of climate change and thawed into a slushy planet. Results provide the first direct geochemical evidence of the ...

Chonkus, a mutant strain of cyanobacteria seen here in a microscopy image, contains large white spots that appear to be carbon-dense granules. Those granules may explain why the cyanobacterium grows ...

Climate skeptics blame volcanic eruptions for rising temperatures. Iceland researchers say it's just the opposite ...

The Organic Geochemistry Unit (OGU) is an international research group that uses high-end analytical techniques such as gas chromatography mass spectrometry and compound specific light stable isotope ...

Recently, Prof. Xiao Yilin's team from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), in collaboration with the ...

The deepest part of our oceans is not just some of the least-explored places on our planet, but in our entire solar system.
