A tube of mud can look like nothing special at first. Pull it from half a kilometer under Antarctic ice, though, and every smear starts to read like a diary.

Bates students are getting a firsthand look at 7,000 years of ancient climate history with a group of lake sediment cores ...

An international research team has achieved a scientific milestone by recovering a 228-meter-long sediment ...

Deep beneath Antarctica’s ice, scientists have uncovered a geological archive that could reshape predictions of future sea-level rise.

Beneath the ice of West Antarctica lie natural records of past climate variability, containing sediments deposited during warmer periods when the region was partly or entirely ice-free. An ...

Pune: Deep inside the forests of Bandhavgarh in Madhya Pradesh, scientists found a long and surprising story written in the soil. The narrow core of sediment, just 60cm long, led researchers to trace ...

The 748-foot-long sediment core contains a record of roughly the past 23 million years, including periods when the planet's surface temperature was hotter than it is today ...

New research from the University of Rhode Island shows that thousands of tons of microplastics have accumulated in seabeds and marshes throughout Narragansett Bay. In recent years, seals, sea turtles, ...

A new study shows that during the last two deglaciations, i.e., the transition from an ice age to the warm interglacial periods, meltwater from the Antarctic ice sheet intensified stratification in ...
