A study funded by NASA reveals that the Moon is shrinking, having decreased in radius by 45 meters due to the cooling of its interior, which has generated more than 10,000 faults on its surface that could trigger earthquakes. #Luna #Ciencia #Geología (translated)
In Longyearbyen in Svalbard, residents cannot drink tap water due to high levels of toxic metals, including manganese, the presence of which is a result of environmental acidification caused by local geology and the history of mining. #Longyearbyen #zmianyklimatyczne #zanieczyszczenieśrodowiska (translated)

The article discusses the potential for discovering new resource deposits in Poland, emphasizing that geologists are confident that significant resources, such as copper, accompanying metals, and hydrocarbons, may still exist in the country, despite the global race for critical raw materials. #złoża #geologia #surowce (translated)
"Starting from this work, the evolutionary models we developed to explain Venus must account for this globally significant characteristic," points out Javier Ruiz, a researcher at UCM. #Venus #Geología #Vulcanismo (translated)
Researchers from the Complutense University of Madrid have discovered a significant asymmetry on Venus, where the northern hemisphere has a thinner lithosphere and more than double the number of volcanoes compared to the south, which could provide new clues about how the planet releases its internal heat. #Venus #Geología #Vulcanismo (translated)

A study from the University of Oslo, published in Science, revealed that during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods, the Earth underwent two episodes of rapid reorientation relative to its axis of rotation, as indicated by variations in ancient sea levels. #RiorientamentoTerra #Geologia #Paleoclimatologia (translated)
A new finding of a volcanic formation buried in the Dewar crater suggests that the young Moon may have had a magnetic field generated by an internal dynamo about 4.2 billion years ago, which provides clues about its geology and could protect future missions. #Luna #Volcanismo #Magnetismo (translated)
A new study reveals that the Earth's crust and mantle experienced four episodes of rapid displacement on its axis, which drastically altered the global climate and suggests that extreme geophysical phenomena have had a significant impact on the planet's configuration throughout its history. #DerivaPolar #Geología #CambioClimático (translated)

Geólogos de la Universidad de Columbia han descubierto que la fragmentación de África está ocurriendo más rápidamente de lo que se pensaba, con una grieta en el sistema de Rift de África Oriental alcanzando un umbral crítico que llevará a la formación de un nuevo océano en el futuro. #RiftAfricano #Geología #Continentes
Il libro sul clima, criticato da geologi e presidi per la sua mancanza di fondamento, è arrivato in Parlamento grazie a interrogazioni di Avs e Pd riguardo a un manuale scolastico di Belluno che mette in dubbio l'impatto umano sul cambiamento climatico. #CambiamentoClimatico #Geologia #EducazioneAmbientale
Ustedes nos han preguntado qué está pasando con la sismicidad registrada entre el 20 y 21 de septiembre de 2026 en Chaparral, Tolima. 🎥En este video, Freddy Tovar, coordinador de la Red Sismológica Nacional de Colombia (RSNC) del Servicio Geológico Colombiano (SGC), explica qué está ocurriendo en esta zona. Con corte a las 3:30 p. m. de este 21 de septiembre, la RSNC ha registrado más de 130 sismos de magnitud superior a 2,0 con epicentro en Chaparral, de los cuales 5 han tenido magnitudes iguales o superiores a 4,0. Adicionalmente, se han recibido más de 1.000 reportes de la ciudadanía desde departamentos como Tolima, Huila, Valle del Cauca, Risaralda y Cauca. #SismosColombia #Chaparral #Geología
