Researchers find that Earth’s orbital rhythms influenced sediment and organic preservation in Jurassic shale deposits.

The team analyzed borehole data from several wells using natural gamma-ray logs, core observations, and geochemical ...

A team has developed a more accurate formula to calculate how much sediment a fluid can push across a granular bed, which could help engineers manage river restoration and coastal erosion. The key to ...

When bottom trawls are dragged across the seafloor, they stir up sediments. This not only releases previously stored organic carbon, but also intensifies the oxidation of pyrite, a mineral present in ...
