The two continent-sized provinces have been known since the 1970s, but it’s only in the last few years we’ve started to ...

This is caused by the connection between the topography of the core-mantle boundary and mantle density anomalies. Changes near the edge of the inner core are likely the result of such deformation ...

The two giant blobs — one beneath the Pacific Ocean and one beneath Africa — lie at the boundary between Earth's mantle and its outer core, some 1,900 miles (3,000 kilometers) beneath the surface.

The Picker Interdisciplinary Science Institute (Picker ISI) has announced this year’s awards supporting interdisciplinary approaches in innovative research. The awards bring together Colgate faculty ...

Tectonic plates move, causing strain energy to build up, and that energy eventually releases in the form of an earthquake. As ...

Researchers explore the likelihood that Earth's climate, as affected by solar heat, plays a role in seismic activity. Using mathematical and computational methods, they analyzed earthquake data ...

For decades, seismologists have worked to understand and predict earthquakes, but forecasting remains elusive. Now, ...

Incorporating solar activity predictions into detailed Earth temperature models may improve seismic forecasts and save lives.
