Researchers from the Australian National University (ANU) have discovered evidence suggesting that the Earth’s inner core is solid, according to a study published in the ...

A common geoscientific misconception is that land-based shear-wave (S-wave) seismic data accounts for only a small percentage of the total amount of compressional-wave (P-wave) data acquired in ...

Mantle plumes beneath volcanic hotspots, like Hawaii, Iceland, and the Galapagos, seem to be anchored into a large structure ...

Surface wave seismology has emerged as a critical tool in the investigation of the Earth’s near‐surface structure. Dispersion analysis, which examines the frequency‐dependent velocity of surface waves ...

BUTTE, Mont. — Envision this scenario: You are going about your day. All is calm and quiet until suddenly, the ground beneath your feet begins to shake, and items within your home or workspace begin ...
