Research on hidden structures deep within Earth’s mantle challenges theories about our planet’s middle layer and could ...

Therefore, they conclude that the southern mantle experiences higher temperatures and lower viscosity. This is also supported by the thicker southern hemisphere crust slowing heat loss from the ...

Deeply hidden in Earth's mantle there are two huge "islands" the size of a continent. New research from Utrecht University ...

Why does its southern hemisphere rise significantly above the smoother northern plains? A groundbreaking study using seismic ...

Mars' dramatic north-south divide has puzzled scientists for half a century. However, they may now have a conclusive answer.

The emerging model of mantle convection suggests that some relatively cool subducting slabs of oceanic plate (blue) are deflected at the 660 km discontinuity (dashed black line) whereas others ...

Over 25 years ago, researchers discovered that some of these deep Earth reverberations pointed to the existence of two ...

Scientists from Utrecht University have discovered two enormous structures deep in Earth's mantle, suggesting that these ...

The study published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, suggests that the dichotomy might be due to internal heat ...

These ancient buried "super-continents"—known to scientists as large low-seismic-velocity provinces (LLSVPs)—were found ...

We apply these models to a range of problems, including faulting, mantle convection, and melting and melt migration in the Earth’s mantle, as well as to societally-relevant issues, such as the dynamic ...
