The study of Earth’s systems, including its physical structure, natural processes, and interactions between the lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere. Earth sciences investigate phenomena such as weather, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions to understand our planet’s past, present, and future.

The world’s largest iceberg A23a resumed its movement on December 13, 2024, after decades of being lodged on the seafloor.

Movements within Earth’s molten outer core are causing millisecond-scale changes in the length of a day (LOD), according to researchers from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETH Zurich). Their findings, reported on November 26, 2024, are based on historical eclipse data analyzed using advanced machine learning (ML) and it traces rotational speed variations over the past 3 000 years.
