The scientific revelation comes from a seismic modeling study led by Professor Arwen Deuss, a geoscientist at Utrecht ...

On a time scale of tens to hundreds of millions of years, the geomagnetic field may be influenced by currents in the mantle. The frequent polarity reversals of Earth's magnetic field can also be ...

The evolution of our Earth is the story of its cooling: 4.5 billion years ago, extreme temperatures prevailed on the surface of the young Earth, and it was covered by a deep ocean of magma. Over ...

Southwest Research Institute’s Dr. Simone Marchi collaborated on a new study finding the first geophysically plausible scenario to explain the abundance of certain precious metals — including gold and ...

Scientists are taking advantage of an $2.5 million NSF grant to develop a new framework for integrated geodynamic models that simulate the Earth’s molten core. More than 1,800 miles thick and ...

This schematic illustrates the most geophysically plausible explanation for the abundance of HSE metals present in the Earth’s mantle. During the long period of bombardment, impactors would strike the ...
