Geoscientists from the Universities of Cologne and Göttingen develop a novel geochemical approach to analyse landscape evolution: cosmogenic krypton, a rare noble gas, provides information on how long ...

Krypton from the Earth’s mantle, collected from geologic hot spots in Iceland and the Galapagos Islands, reveals a clearer picture of how our planet formed, according to new research from the ...

An international research team involving the University of Cologne has found a new way to reconstruct how landscapes developed tens of millions of ...

Surprisingly, the krypton isotopes in the meteorite correspond to those from chondritic meteorites, not the solar nebula. That means that meteorites were delivering volatile elements to the forming ...

We tap it, pump it and draw it from below the surface of every imaginable landscape, from desert to well-manicured suburban yard. It is the one essential ingredient required to sustain life. Water. So ...
