Sustained monitoring is essential for assessing volcanic hazards. Integration with igneous petrology is key to linking monitoring data to underlying magmatic processes.

Space exploration has expanded the realm of geoscience to the outermost Solar System. A new generation of missions shines the way.

The correct pronunciation of a word in English is not always straightforward, and this is particularly the case for place names and other proper nouns that are prominent in geoscience research. For example, sedimentary deposits in former coal strip-mining pits in northern Illinois, USA, bear an assemblage of well-preserved Carboniferous fossils, including the enigmatic Tullimonstrum, an extinct soft-bodied

The intense, efficient transfer of organic carbon from the surface to the deep Southern Ocean make it a key component of the global carbon cycle. Observations show that this process isn’t always driven by sinking diatom skeletons, which often don’t make it past the mid-depth twilight zone, challenging the understanding of how climate change may impact the region.

Early career researchers (ECRs), including those in undergraduate and graduate programmes as well as those at the start of their academic careers, are a critical part of the geoscience workforce seeking to understand Earth’s history. This work is especially important for understanding the growing impacts of anthropogenic climate change. However, the recent decommissioning of one of the few ships capable

The level at which Earth is instrumented, observed, and modelled has radically advanced our knowledge of recent and ongoing climate change, but this knowledge lends a false sense of sophistication to our understanding of Earth system behaviour. The geological record has revealed repeated examples of seemingly unimaginable climate scenarios — times when Earth’s climate evolved in surprising ways (for
