Where Are the World’s Rare Earth Mineral Deposits? A new global map, based on U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) data, pinpoints the richest rare earth mineral reserves on the planet. While these ...

An AMOC collapse would usher in global weather and climate shifts — including plunging temperatures in Europe, which relies ...

Image: A mosaic of global land cover from Envisat's MERIS instrument. The same sensor is to be used as the basis of ESA's GLOBCOVER project to creating the most detailed land cover map ever. For ...

“The overall crust, like what people would walk on, what would make up continents on Earth,” Williams says, “in the case of Titan would be water ice.” The complete global map of tita ...

rare earth minerals are relatively abundant the world over, but not often found in concentrated deposits. This makes extraction and refinement a complex and costly process. The map above ...

The map was produced with detailed measurements from NASA’s Terra spacecraft. The new global digital elevation model of Earth was created from nearly 1.3 million individual stereo-pair images ...

See, the world maps we’ve been using for centuries don’t show the most accurate appearance of the landmasses, either. But the Equal Earth World Map is changing that. Cartographers presented ...

High-precision 'TanDEM-X 30 m DEM Change Maps' show changes in the Earth's surface. The 3D change maps are the latest product of the TanDEM-X radar satellite mission. The global TanDEM-X elevation ...

The most detailed portrait ever of the Earth’s land surface is being created with ESA’s Envisat environmental satellite. The GLOBCOVER project aims at producing a global land cover map to a ...
