🚨New Review!

Tectonic processes can lead to the formation of semi-enclosed seas and the deposition of extensive salt deposits.

Krijgsman et al. explire the drivers and impacts of the Mediterranean Messinian salinity crisis.

Super stoked to see this paper led by Lewis Alcott out today! We've made a model for global C, O and P cycles over Earth history and it does a fair job of matching combined proxies. The key driver for oxygen rise is the build up of crustal carbon.

Nearly all diamonds on Earth are brought to the surface by the supersonic eruptions of volcanoes called kimberlites. One question about them has always endured: why did they go extinct? newscientist.com/article/mg2613…

strange volcanos called kimberlites are the only way diamonds reach the surface from Earth's depths. scientists have always struggled to understand why they switched off millions of years ago...but perhaps they didn't 🌋 by Dr Robin George Andrews 🌋☄️ newscientist.com/article/mg2613…

NEW: The only reason we have diamonds is because ancient supersonic eruptions brought them to the surface.

But these volcanoes went extinct—or, just maybe, they haven’t. It’s possible these diamantine eruptions are making a comeback.

I don’t believe academic peer review in its current form is useful. As an editor, I saw it all. Most of the time, reviewers spend their time trying to find a reason to reject a paper. Often reasons for rejection or acceptance came from bias. Many editors don’t know enough to even

Our comment features on the cover of January's issue of Nature Reviews Earth & Environment 🌈 ! The image was generated by Thea Hincks while plotting GPlates plate tectonics reconstructions for Matt Russo's sonification.

Listen to the song of breaking continents and kimberlite eruptions in this entrancing animation!
