A Caltech-led study suggests that two massive, iron-rich structures deep within Earth’s mantle are the remains of Theia, an ancient planet that collided with Earth,…
Most of Earth’s near-surface permafrost could disappear by 2100, according to an international group of scientists. This prediction was made after analyzing current climate patterns…
Mars’s liquid iron core is smaller and denser than previously thought. Not only is it smaller, but it is also surrounded by a layer of…
Recent data challenges initial NASA InSight Mars Lander mission findings about Mars’ internal structure. Researchers have discovered a molten silicate layer at the Martian mantle’s…
A global collaboration led by the University of Oxford has determined that the largest-ever seismic event on Mars, known as S1222a, was not caused by…
MIT scientists find the sounds beneath our feet are fingerprints of rock stability. If you could sink through the Earth’s crust, you might hear, with…
Researchers have developed a deep learning model, RECAST, that outperforms traditional methods in predicting earthquake aftershocks, especially with larger datasets. This advancement promises improved earthquake…
A new study discovered rapid “collective motion” of iron atoms in Earth’s inner core. This movement may explain the core’s unexpected softness in seismic data…
Navigation systems suitable for lunar surface exploration to chart future expeditions. Kamilla Cziráki, a geophysics student from the Faculty of Science at Eötvös Loránd University…
New research has confirmed that fracking is responsible for the previously unexplained slow, small earthquakes or tremors. The tremors are produced by the same processes…
How has the atmosphere and mantle oxidation state of the Earth changed? The connection between a planet’s interior and its surface plays a pivotal role…
Researchers unveil a more accurate pressure scale using advanced x-rays, revealing Earth’s inner core has twice the light material previously estimated. Their methodology provides an…
A team from UNIGE has identified three easily measurable parameters that offer insights into the structural characteristics of volcanoes, marking progress in the area of…
Computer simulations confirm that the African Superplume causes the unusual deformations and rift-parallel seismic anisotropy detected below the East African Rift System. Continental rifting involves…
Steamboat Geyser’s spray slowly fossilizes the trees it lands on – preserving the geyser’s past and providing a glimpse into Steamboat’s uncertain future. A recent…
Models show Venus’ superheated core could produce extended volcanism and long-lived resurfacing. A Southwest Research Institute-led team has modeled the early impact history of Venus…
New research suggests that ancient microorganisms helped cause massive volcanic events. Banded iron formations, sedimentary rocks with stunning strata of burnt orange, yellow, silver, brown,…
