Greenland’s Ice Sheet will surely continue its unprecedented melt.  But will the melting ice expose more rock that might push ...

A global reanalysis of both short- and long-term deformation clarifies how obliquity affects strain partitioning in convergent plate boundaries.

Yellowstone and Hawaiʻi. These systems a well known for producing large volumes of magma through time and leaving chains of ...

An image analysis technique shows that crustal damage from an earthquake can extend further than expected with implications for slip rate estimates and hazard assessment.

The driver of all this is plate tectonics: Earth’s surface is divided into several dozen plates, which move horizontally. Figuring out how this got started, however, has proved surprisingly ...

the shallow water slows the waves the height of the waves can increase by several metres the waves get closer together ...

Harvard scientists studying the mystery of water and life on ancient Mars believe they may have finally found a solution.

Accurate assessment of the land surface damage (such as small-scale fracturing and inelastic deformation) from two major earthquakes in 2023 can help scientists assess future earthquake hazards ...

This sudden slip, which yields meter-scale movement within seconds, causes extensive crustal damage. This damage is not just in the immediate vicinity of a plate boundary or fault, but also "off-fault ...
