Far beneath Earth’s surface, two enormous structures lie hidden at the edge of the planet’s molten core. These formations, ...

Earth’s inner core has long puzzled scientists because seismic waves move through it unevenly. Compressional waves from ...

On September 9 of last year, in the middle of the morning, seismometers began lighting up around East Asia. From South Korea to Russia to Japan, geophysical instruments recorded squiggles as seismic ...

Scientists report that small seismic signals in lakes can aid science. As a record of wave motion in a lake, they can reveal when a lake freezes over and when it thaws. And as a small, constant source ...

Complex interior: illustration showing the two different layers of the Martian mantle between the core and crust. Also shown is how the layers affect seismic waves detected by InSight. (Courtesy: IPGP ...

New research published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters uses the San Gabriel Valley Basin in California as a case study for a new method of monitoring groundwater storage. Monitoring the ...

As a geophysics major, you will learn to apply the principles of physics to the study of the Earth. In geophysics, evaluation of gravity, magnetic and electrical fields, seismic wave propagation and ...

Researcher have uncovered a new geophysical phenomenon where a hurricane or other strong storm can spark seismic events in the nearby ocean as strong as a 3.5 magnitude earthquake. A Florida State ...

The data collected with the InSight lander revealed properties of the Martian core that could indicate why it is unfriendly to life. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

Glacial earthquakes are a special type of earthquake generated in cold, icy regions. First discovered in the Northern ...

The hidden earth below our feet creates the forces that drive the movement of plates, the stresses relieved in earthquakes and the creation of mountains. Research into this realm is at the scale of ...
