The hidden earth below our feet creates the forces that drive the movement of plates, the stresses relieved in earthquakes and the creation of mountains. Research into this realm is at the scale of ...

Determining how iron behaves in these extreme conditions could thus help to advance the current understanding of our home planet's structure and geodynamics. Researchers at the European ...

Are subterranean lifeforms viable on Mars? A new interpretation of Martian seismic data by scientists Ikuo Katayama of ...

Emplacement of the north polar cap of Mars is investigated by combining viscoelastic deformation calculations and observations, showing that it formed over the last 1.7–12.0 Myr atop a stiff ...

Research into these processes is the subject of geodynamics, as it is practised in Münster. With the help of complex computer models, it is possible to investigate the processes in the Earth's ...
