"Our results represent the most globally complete understanding of recent lunar tectonism to date," Nypaver said. "The ...

Scientists have produced the first global map and analysis of small mare ridges (SMRs) on the moon, a characteristic ...

Researchers have uncovered more than a thousand previously unknown tectonic ridges across the Moon’s dark plains, showing the ...

Scientists have mapped thousands of young tectonic ridges across the Moon, showing it is still slowly shrinking. These ridges may mark previously unknown sources of moonquakes.

The Moon, long treated as a geologically inert relic, is still contracting and cracking. A growing body of peer-reviewed research now confirms that tectonic faulting on the lunar surface has occurred ...

We tend to think earthquakes are predominantly driven by deep-Earth forces. But in Kenya’s Lake Turkana Rift, researchers recently found that as surface water levels dropped roughly 100 to 150 meters ...

New research reveals the source of this carbon – and the driving forces behind it – are far more complex than previously ...

Scientists have produced the first global map and analysis of small mare ridges (SMRs) on the moon, a characteristic geological feature of tectonic activity. Published in The Planetary Science Journal ...
