A recent "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" showcased Nick Cave's journey, musical and personal, from cynic to hope-warrior ...

Beneath the continent is the asthenosphere, the ductile upper layer of Earth’s mantle. How mantle waves buoy Earth’s surface to form broad plateaus The researchers also linked their ...

Climate change and asteroids are linked with animal origin and extinction—and plate tectonics also seems to play a key evolutionary role, "groundbreaking" new fossil research reveals.

This course deals with the composition and evolution of the crust, lithospheric mantle and asthenosphere. Seismic imaging techniques and interpretation of tomographic images in terms of composition ...

Structure and evolution of oceanic lithosphere and asthenosphere, including seismic attenuation and shear velocity. Flow in the upper mantle.

The melting temperatures of deep mantle rocks decrease with an increase in mantle oxygen concentration, suggesting the need for re-evaluation of current Earth core formation and thermal evolution ...

This course addresses topics like material recycling across the geospheres and how mantle dynamics, volcanism and plate tectonics influence long-term, global environmental and climatic changes. Open ...

The boundary between the core and the mantle does not remain constant. As the heat of the earth's interior is constantly but slowly dissipated, the molten core within Earth gradually solidifies and ...
