Zeedyk structures are low-cost, high-impact conservation tools helping to preserve Colorado’s threatened grasslands.

At first glance, landscapes like the Great Plains and the Rockies may seem unchanging, but over geological time scales, ...

Since physical and chemical erosion yield comparable carbon fluxes, studying both together is essential to avoid biases in erosion-driven carbon flux estimates.

Weathering and erosion slowly chisel, polish, and buff Earth's rock into ever evolving works of art—and then wash the remains into the sea. The processes are definitively independent ...

New research reveals how rock strength plays a crucial role in erosion, shaping landscapes over millions of years.

ISLA: Yep, the cracks in the rock are how erosional features like The Old Man of Hoy start. The different features here show the different stages of coastal erosion. It starts with a crack in the ...

According to a model of the geological forces shaping the climate over the past 420 million years, reaching such “ice house” temperatures requires a combination of rapid rock erosion removing ...

In the March 4, 2025, online issue of the journal Geology, Utah State University geoscientists Jordan Jensen and Alexis Ault describe a new forensic tool to help researchers understand the creation of ...
