The search for water on the Moon has captivated scientists for decades. Beyond its implications for understanding planetary science, lunar water could play a pivotal role in humanity’s ambitions to ...

While it has been established that water exists on the Moon, pinpointing its precise locations presents a formidable ...

An unexpected radioactive discovery beneath the Pacific Ocean seabed may provide researchers with a new global geologic time ...

Oxygen, for example, has eight protons. However, the number of neutrons in an atom can vary, leading to different forms of elements, called isotopes. The recently observed type of oxygen is one ...

The researchers analyzed oxygen isotopes from 14 samples from the moon and carried out 191 measurements on minerals from Earth. Isotopes are varieties of the same element that differ only in the ...

Africa is often synonymous with its drylands that cover two-thirds of the continent. Relief is brought through rainfall ...

Groundwater is water stored beneath the Earth's surface in the spaces between rocks and sediments, collectively known as aquifers.

Oxygen was the first stable isotope used to determine migratory history in marine environments. Stable isotope analyses using marine oxygen have used barnacle shells attached to the study animal.

This measurement provides carbon, oxygen and “clumped” isotope ratios for carbonate minerals, which enables us to reconstruct the temperature at which the carbonate formed, along with information ...
