In a new Science Advances paper, Asst Prof James Dottin shows Hydrogen may leak from the Earth's core into the mantle. "This means that some the the water you're drinking today might be seeing the surface for the first time since the Earth was formed." science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Researchers analyzed a global database of 500,000 strange streaks that occur on steep Martian slopes, concluding that they’re most likely caused by dry processes rather than liquid flow. Brown DEEPS brnw.ch/21wSNrs

At Brown's ninth annual Celebration of Research, 33 researchers were recognized for making a significant impact globally by advancing knowledge through their contributions, achievements, and discoveries.

Research.com's 2025 Ranking of Best Scientists in the field of Earth Science has named DEEPS Professor Jim Head #1 in the world ranking and #1 in United States. He has also been awarded the Earth Science Leader Award for 2025. research.com/careers/world-…

We are pleased to announce our 2025 Friend of Darwin and Friend of the Planet award recipients! ncse.ngo/friend-darwin-… #CelebrateScience

Earlier this month, we had the honor of hosting nearly 100 alumni of Brown’s planetary science program for a celebratory symposium called “Brown in Orbit: 60+ Years of Planetary Sciences at Brown.” 🚀✨

Brown researchers led a study that found that surface coatings on tiny glass beads found on the moon reveal how the environment around the moon’s volcanoes changed over time. mashable.com/article/nasa-a…

So much to see this month!

“If we can see how global climate influenced what the water cycle is doing at that point in history, it could inform predictions of the future rainfall in this already water-stressed region,” Mitsunaga said. brown.edu/news/2025-06-2…

A study led by researchers from Brown University found that rainfall patterns across northern Africa remained largely stable between 3.5 and 2.5 million years ago, challenging long-held interpretations of the climate history of northern Africa. brown.edu/news/2025-06-2…
