A breakthrough study has provided the most detailed 3D look yet at the inner workings of the Tonga Subduction Zone, where ...

This is a 3D view of the top 1,000 kilometers of the earth's mantle beneath the central Pacific showing the relationship between seismically-slow "plumes" and channels imaged in the study.

The ground beneath your feet may feel solid, but Earth is constantly shifting. While we have mapped the surface in detail, ...

Indian scientists have uncovered the possible cause behind the Indian Ocean Geoid Low (IOGL), the lowest geoid anomaly on ...

Conducted by researchers from Ocean University of China and Tohoku University, Japan, the work combines innovative seismic methodologies to map mantle flow patterns, slab-plume interactions ...

Using the adjusted GIA model, they reduced the viscosity to the upper mantle rocks along the path of the plume across Greenland. The new model simulations showed that the rate of ground uplift was ...
