As oil companies push for drilling on the Amazon coast, an underwater war silences the ocean’s most vocal creatures.

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 ...

A tsunami struck a fjord in East Greenland in 2023, ringing seismometers for nine straight days. A new satellite study provides the first observational evidence of the waves.

A new kind of earthquake has been detected in western Canada, one that shakes the ground slower and longer than typical ...

Israel war. Seismologists confirm natural origin for the 5.2 magnitude quake—no link to warfare or nuclear activity. The post ...

Seismic waves carry information about the earthquake that produced them as they propagate around the planet.” These are the ...

Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, shifting tectonic plates—these are all signs that our planet is alive. But what is revealed deep inside Earth surprises laymen and scientists alike: Almost 3000 ...

Meteorites and marsquakes We made our discovery thanks to two meteorite impacts in 2021 (named S1000a and S1094b) and a marsquake in 2022 (dubbed S1222a). These events sent seismic waves rippling ...

Enlarged section: At the D layer, perovskite changes to post-perovskite. The researchers assumed that this change explained the strange acceleration of the seismic waves. But that was not the full ...

When seismic waves propagate through hydrocarbon reservoirs, there is a significant attenuation of high-frequency energy. The quality factor Q is usually treated as a sensitive parameter indicating ...

Scientists recorded a seismic event so strange that they named it a USO—unidentified seismic object. It reverberated around the world for a staggering 9 days.
