Grains of sand prove people – not glaciers – transported Stonehenge rocks A new study shows the monument’s most exotic stones did not arrive by chance but were instead deliberately selected and transported.

Carbon emissions along divergent plate boundaries modulate icehouse-greenhouse climates - Communications Earth & Environment Combined degassing from mid-ocean ridges and continental rifts outweigh volcanic arc emissions before 50 Ma, according to thermodynamic modelling coupled to tectonic reconstructions of carbon reservoi...

The way Earth’s surface moves has a bigger impact on shifting the climate than we knew Earth has experienced many icehouse and greenhouse climates. A new study shows how they connect to plate tectonics.

#EarthScience #ClimateScience #CarbonCycle #Geodynamics #ResearchInfrastructure #NCRIS #AuScope

New research shows tectonic plate motion has shaped Earth’s climate far more than we thought.

Using AuScope-supported tools — GPlates, pyGPlates, SAM Node compute, and EarthByte/STELLAR datasets — researchers trace how carbon moves through deep‑sea sediments and plate boundaries.
