Research reveals that plate tectonics started on Earth 600 million years before what was believed

Experimental geochemists have discovered compelling evidence that magmas may be wetter than once thought

Years ago, scientists realized that earthquakes along mid-ocean ridges are linked with the tides. But nobody could figure out why there’s an uptick in tremors during low tides

Just 10 seconds into a quake, GPS data can detect signs of acceleration that point to an event's magnitude

The beads formed in the atomic cloud from melted or vaporized concrete, marble, stainless steel, and rubber

To recover a meteorite record for millions of years, the researchers headed to the Atacama Desert

A new paper paints an even more intricate picture of Earth's mantle as a geochemically diverse mosaic

Cornell geoscientists have discovered the first direct evidence that material from deep within Earth’s mantle transition zone can percolate to the surface to form volcanoes

Computer model and field experiment data suggest a new link between subsurface injections and earthquake swarms

A new study is the first to show how two types of sand can behave like liquids, shedding light on geological processes
