Using Mars orbiter data, field observations and laboratory experiments, a team of researchers, including Peter Englert, professor in the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (SOEST), developed a new theory about what is causing landslides on the surface of Mars.
The human brain as we know it today is relatively young. It evolved about 1.7 million years ago when the culture of stone tools in Africa became increasingly complex. A short time later, the new Homo populations spread to Southeast Asia, researchers from the University of Zurich have now shown using computed tomography analyses of fossilized skulls.

A comprehensive review of the COVID-19 pandemic, led by University of Hawaiʻi Cancer Center researcher Michele Carbone, was published in the Journal of Thoracic Oncology.
The COVID-19 pandemic has worsened many of the problems faced by Native Hawaiian communities, but in a new paper, public health researchers detail the numerous efforts of Native Hawaiian-led groups that show these communities’ strength and resilience.
The introduction of invasive, non-native species to Hawaiʻi has made the islands one of the most altered ecosystems on the planet
Predictions of future climate change require a clear and nuanced understanding of Earth’s past climate. University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa oceanographers solved a controversy that has been debated in scientific literature for decades by fully reconciling climate and carbon cycle trends of the past 50 million years.
