For decades, climate science has treated Earth’s shifting crust as a slow, distant backdrop to the drama of global warming.

First global map of mantle earthquakes reveals seismic activity far beneath continents, challenging old ideas about Earth’s ...

Learn how seismic waves helped identify rare mantle earthquakes deep below Earth’s crust, offering new insight into the ...

Stanford University researchers have pulled back a curtain on a hidden part of Earth that rarely makes headlines. Their new ...

As much as 45 oceans’ worth of hydrogen may be in Earth’s core, scientists reported, suggesting most of Earth’s water was ...

A new theoretical study explores how activity high above Earth could subtly influence processes deep within the planet’s crust. Researchers at Kyoto University are advancing a new idea about how space ...

New research reveals that Earth’s continents owe their stability to searing heat deep in the planet’s crust. At more than 900°C, radioactive elements shifted upward, cooling and strengthening the ...

The record-breaking mission offers an unprecedented opportunity to study the geology of our planet’s largest layer.

Researchers studying the deep biosphere, Earth’s largest ecosystem, have found evidence that life thriving miles below the ...

Stanford scientists have developed a new method for identifying rare earthquakes in the Earth’s upper mantle, under the ...

Precious metals may be escaping from the planet’s core. This hotly debated subject could help us understand Earth’s evolution and determine whether life exists elsewhere in the Universe ...

Fresh evidence suggests early Earth wasn’t locked under a rigid stagnant lid but was already experiencing intense subduction. Ancient melt inclusions and advanced simulations point to continents ...
