Earth's continents are slowly moving across the planet's surface due to plate tectonics, culminating in regions of crustal expansion and collision. In the latter case, high temperatures and pressures ...

A new study from the USC Viterbi School of Engineering researchers, along with researchers from the Institute de Physique du Globe de Paris at the University of Paris Cité, has found that the increase ...

Massive erosion shaped the surface of Mars, according to planetary scientists at Washington University in St. Louis. Brian M. Hynek, doctoral candidate in Earth and Planetary Sciences, and Roger J.

Researchers in Spain have tested the erosion resistance of common galvanized coatings using both free-falling sand and forced-air sand-impingement methods. The study found that continuously galvanized ...

A new study has found that the increase in soil erosion in coastal areas due to desertification is worsening flood impacts on Middle Eastern and North African port cities. The researchers focused ...

Map showing (in red) the areas where heavy erosion was detected by satellite radar images following Storm Daniel in the watersheds of Eastern Libya and how the the streams loaded with high amounts of ...
