Scientists’ groundbreaking recovery of mantle rock provides new insights into Earth’s volcanic activity, elemental cycles and possibly the origin of life, and represents a significant advance in geoscience. An international team has begun studying the role of the Earth’s mantle in supporting life on Earth, driving volcanism and influencing global cycles. Scientists have successfully recovered […]
Rocks on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean hold many secrets that could help scientists understand our planet and the origins of life on it. That’s why a group of researchers has undertaken a difficult task: They dug a hole more than three-quarters of a mile deep and extracted a record core of rock from […]
