While climbing a crater rim, NASA's Perseverance Mars rover spotted a curious striped rock that may have rolled from farther ...

Mars wasn't always the cold desert we see today. There's increasing evidence that water once flowed on the red planet's ...

Billions of years ago, Mars was a very different place—likely wet, with rivers flowing across its surface and a thick ...

but so far carbonate rocks have been few and far between in our exploration of the Red Planet. Olivine is a more common mineral on Mars, and is associated with water on the surface in the past.

An ordinary rock could hold an extraordinary answer to combating climate change. A Christchurch geologist has discovered a way to use olivine to sequester 1000 years' worth of the world's ...

New research suggests the atmosphere of Mars may be hiding in plain sight, having been absorbed by minerals in the Red Planet's clays. If Mars' envelope of gas did "go to ground" over 3 billion years ...

New research suggests Mars' missing atmosphere -- which dramatically diminished 3.5 billion years ago -- could be locked in the planet's clay-covered crust. Water on Mars could have set off a chain ...

For now, the MIT team is studying rock salt cathodes to develop a scalable manufacturing process. The researchers also want ...

More than perhaps any other material, cement is the glue that holds the globalized world together—especially our cities. But producing it requires huge amounts of fossil fuels, and the industry ...

Papers with interesting supplementary info (which can be a pain to track down, so I've provided bundled links), movies, and selected recent papers. More publications on my CIRES page. Tectonic ...

In deep Earth, rocks take up and release water all the time, and the effects can be wide reaching. Dehydration can cause ...

In the case of the Canada Goose Olivine Coat, that’s thankfully not the case. Designed with unpredictable weather in mind, this lightweight coat is ideal for fall, which is why I chose to ...
