A gold reservoir is hidden in Earth's core and it's leaking into the mantle, says new study A new study claims that Earth is ...

In this cross-journal Collection, we focus on the contributions from geophysics and geochemistry that advance understanding of Earth’s core, the core mantle boundary, and the nature of ultra-low ...

A ‘ghost plume’ identified deep in the mantle beneath Oman suggests there may be more heat flowing out of Earth’s core than ...

The Earth is leaking. The good news is this isn’t bad news, because the Earth is leaking gold and other precious metals.

Scientists have uncovered evidence that precious metals like gold are leaking from Earth’s core into the mantle, ultimately ...

They reveal that the chemical composition of the deep mantle has remained almost intact since the Earth's formation 4.5 ...

The vertical movement of the mantle is one of the driving forces that brings about large-scale geological changes to the ...

Mantle plumes are important geologic processes—they interact with plate tectonics, create rich mineral deposits, and even ...

A phase change in post-perovskite materials at the so-called D” discontinuity is also evidence for long-predicted slow, convective flows in the mantle itself ...

The driving force behind this volcanic activity is believed to be the “Iceland Plume”—a deep, hot column of molten rock that ...

Iceland is one of the most active volcanic regions in the world, but its seismic nature is part of a much broader geological ...
