A new earthquake model has been developed by Northwestern University that considers the full history of a fault’s earthquakes to better forecast the next one….
By studying seismic and orbital data from two major meteorite impacts in late 2021, the international teams of NASA’s InSight and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter missions…
Researchers have observed seismic waves traveling throughout the surface of a planet other than Earth for the first time after two large meteorite impacts on…
The composition of gases could forewarn of increased volcanic activity. Volcanic eruptions are dangerous, but unfortunately, they are also difficult to predict. Now, a team…
A new method to scan the deep interior of planets in our solar system to confirm whether they have a core at the heart of…
What Seismic Waves Reveal About the Martian Crust Scientists have observed, for the first time, seismic waves propagating along the surface of a planet other…
Magnetometers detected faint signals that may improve our understanding of what happens before earthquakes and offer promise for early detection. Scientists studying intermediate to large…
Scientists explain an unusual tsunami. A new study published in the journal Nature describes the process that produced and propagated an unusual tsunami following the catastrophic…
Theory underpins our understanding of convection in the Earth’s outer core and its function in controlling the planet’s magnetic field. Convective flows or how they…
New research led by the University of Cambridge is the first to obtain a detailed ‘image’ of an unusual pocket of rock at the boundary…
NASA’s InSight lander’s seismometer on Mars has recorded two of its strongest seismic events to date: a magnitude 4.2 and a magnitude 4.1 marsquake. The…
High resolution illumination of Earth’s interior down to the planet’s core with 3D global numerical simulations. Earthquakes do more than buckle streets and topple buildings….
Earthquakes themselves affect the movement of Earth’s tectonic plates, which in turn could impact on future earthquakes, according to new research from the University of…
Researchers have uncovered the most detail ever of the mysterious structures laying between the Earth’s mantle and core, also providing the strongest evidence yet they…
The dramatic collapse of Indonesia’s Anak Krakatau volcano in December 2018 resulted from long-term destabilizing processes, and was not triggered by any distinct changes in…
A simulation of the evolution of the Earth’s interior over time, showing the thermal (bottom), chemical (middle), and thermochemical evolution under the simulated conditions. The…
Earthquakes of similar magnitude can cause tsunamis of greatly varying sizes. This commonly observed, but not well-understood phenomenon has hindered reliable warnings of local tsunamis….
There might be a quadrillion tons of diamonds 100 miles below Earth’s surface. But the farthest we’ve traveled is 7 miles down, so how could…
