Earth’s spin is not as steady as it looks. As ice melts and groundwater is pumped from deep aquifers to the surface, the ...

About 1,800 miles (2,900 kilometers) below our feet, two enormous patches of strange rock sit above Earth’s core. New ...

A Rutgers researcher and collaborators have linked unusual geological anomalies to Earth’s molten origins and its unique habitability. For many years, researchers have struggled to understand two ...

Scientists have uncovered massive, dense rock structures deep beneath the western Pacific, challenging long-held theories ...

By integrating seismic data, mineral physics and geodynamic modeling, the study reconceived large low-shear velocity ...

Though the exact length of a "stadia" is unknown, his measurement is thought to be accurate to within one percent of the ...

Scientists may finally be closing in on the origins of two colossal, mysterious structures buried nearly 1,800 miles inside ...

Seismic imaging has exposed two massive zones hidden deep in Earth’s mantle. These giant blobs, known as large low-velocity provinces, or LLVPs, stretch beneath Africa and the Pacific. They are so ...

Two mysterious blobs deep inside Earth may hold clues about the origin of life on our planet, new research finds. Deep ...

Earth’s deep-sea hydrothermal vents provide a model for understanding how life could exist on Europa. Holden’s team is studying how vent microbes generate energy using hydrogenases to predict what ...
