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, they're dynamic systems. Plate tectonics raise mountains, while erosion—driven ...

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 ...

Led by Curtin University geologists Chris Kirkland and Tim Johnson, a research team unearthed this primeval crater beneath ...

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

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

These results underscore the role that rock strength plays in crafting landscapes like the Rockies or the Great Plains; while ...

Erosion is the suspected culprit in Thursday's collapse of the arch -- a hole formed in the 190-million-year-old sandstone ...

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 ...

Different types of erosion include hydraulic action where the force of the wave traps air into the rock and breaks it apart. There is also abrasion which is the action of pebbles grinding against ...
