Everything You Need to Know About Earthquakes
Learn about types of earthquakes, causes of earthquakes, effects of earthquakes, measuring earthquakes, and we mitigate against their effects.
The lithosphere is a slow-moving, by human standards, system that is responsible for all geologic activity on our planet. This activity makes our planet unique in the solar system in that the other terrestrial planets no longer have this level of activity (Venus) or any at all (Mars and Mercury).
The Pelagic Zones of the Ocean
The ocean a vast environment, with most ocean water being found in the unlit depths where life is assumed to not be abundant. However, the deeper pelagic zones are actually highly productive environments, contrary to what one might assume given the lightless nature of the deep-sea environment.
Lake Vostok’s Potential for a Diverse, Undisturbed Microbial Ecosystem
Lake Vostok, a liquid lake deep beneath the Antarctic ice sheet, harbors a diverse undisturbed biological profile
Learn about the layers of the atmosphere and in what ways each is unique and important to preserving life on our planet
Factors That Drove Early Cetacean Ancestors to the Sea
Whales (cetaceans) were not always the marine mammals we know today. Climatic and biogeographic conditions may have contributed to their movement from land mammal to marine mammal.
Learn about Antarctica's history and how we know it wasn't always a frozen continent.
