Around 14,500 years ago, toward the end of the last ice age, melting continental ice sheets drove a sudden and cataclysmic ...

The idea behind it is to launch a global program with the aim of synchronizing age models for particularly important geological climate records from the past 100 million years. The researchers ...

Deaths of nearby massive stars may have played a significant role in triggering at least two mass extinction events in ...

A new study underscores the ubiquity of pleasant smells attached to commonly displayed objects, like sarcophagi and wrappings used in mummified remains.

We perform chemical and physical analyses on sediments and other materials. The samples and measurements are used for help reconstruct past climate and environmental conditions. X-radiograph of ...

This deformation reflects past changes in local and regional stress and strain, and can be used to reconstruct past crustal movements and dynamics. Dynamic rupture modeling suggests that ...

Colossal Biosciences has focused on identifying key traits of extinct animals by studying ancient DNA, with a goal to genetically "engineer them into living animals," said CEO Ben Lamm.

"It can be applied to studies of paleobiology, to answer how megaherbivores migrated in the past. It can also be ... microsampling-modeling workflow to reconstruct herbivore migrations ...
