Leading geologist Sherwood Lollar and her team initially anticipated discovering tiny pockets of trapped water when investigating the mine ...

Earth’s soil is drying up. It could be irreversible. The losses in soil moisture already pose issues for farming, irrigation systems and critical water resources for humans. But new research ...

With a mission to ensure access to clean water for every American, Earth Water stands as a beacon of hope in a sea of denial and inaction.

Did Earth’s water come from outer space? Or did a younger Earth’s magma oceans give birth to much of the life-giving liquid?

Water frozen in the depths of space has long been considered a shapeless, frozen fog. For decades, scientists believed it formed without structure, too cold and still to grow orderly crystals.

New research suggests that the thousands of dams built over the past two centuries have caused the Earth's poles to drift ...

New research has uncovered that the construction of water dams has shifted Earth's poles in subtle but important ways.

Comet 67P's water has the same molecular signature as Earth's oceans, suggesting it may have contributed to Earth's water supply.

This water, now over 4.5 billion years old, has been perpetually renewed through Earth’s water cycle. My research team has recently proposed a new theory to explain how water first arrived on Earth.
