Rising global temperatures are driving the sharp decline in terrestrial water storage. This trend isn’t likely to change, scientists say.

They conserve water efficiently and are capable of surviving long periods without direct access to water sources. As the largest land carnivores on Earth, polar bears are well-suited to the Arctic ...

A team of researchers at the University of Oxford have uncovered crucial evidence for the origin of water on Earth. Using a ...

Oxford researchers have unearthed a cosmic surprise showing that the hydrogen needed for water was embedded in the very rocks ...

So if the meteorite has its own source of hydrogen, then early Earth likely did, too—meaning it could have produced water without the help of foreign emissaries. “A fundamental question for ...

Pinpointing when and where Earth’s hydrogen is an essential key to understanding how life arose on the planet. Without hydrogen, there’s no water, and without water, life can’t exist here. Ironically, ...
