Dr. Marina Martínez, geologist and researcher at the Department of Geology of the UAB, gave a lecture on the importance of the Moon for life on Earth entitled "From Apollo to Artemis: Why do we return to the Moon?". Based on...
A study led by ICP-CERCA improves the understanding of the paleoenvironment of the Miocene site of Can Llobateres, which records one of the latest great apes from mainland Europe. The study, based on the dental morphology of large herbivorous mammals,...
Researchers from Spanish and Italian institutions, including the National Museum of Natural Sciences and the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, have uncovered key aspects about climate changes of the Lower Pleistocene by analysing fossil hippopotamus...
Recently, researchers from two different departments of the UAB and the Materials Science Institute of Barcelona (CSIC), in collaboration with researchers from other institutions, have published two articles in the field of archeology that refute the common perception of thin-sections...
3,980 years ago occurred the largest eruption of the last millennia in Antarctica, according to the latest analysis of the lake sediments on the Byers Peninsula. This...
The geothermal energy is one of the energy sources that has been enhanced to move forward to a sustainable energetic model. However, an induced seismicity is produced in Enhanced Geothermal Systems and sometimes it may potentially end up damaging the Earth’s surface....
An international group from University Tübingen (Germany) in collaboration with the UAB Geology department have published a study about the conglomerates deposited by rivers in central China over a...

Researchers at CREAF have compared the amounts of dust deposited through the wet and dry pathways in two regions of contrasted African influence: the Tenerife Island and the Montseny massif. Data show that elements from African dust were mostly delivered as wet deposition in Montseny,...
A recent geological study reveals the existence of correlations between periods of drought and ground subsidence. It is an unexplored geomorphological effect, with possible adverse consequences in the current context of anthropogenic climate change.
The palaeontological site of Fumanya, in the Berguedà region, is well-known for containing numerous samples of fossilised dinosaur footprints. It is there that researchers from the UAB and the Catalan Institute of Palaeontology recently discovered some very peculiar...
