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

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.

Another prong of the administration’s actions is an attempt to influence what research is funded. Russell Vought, the head of ...

These crustal collisions occur gradually over millions of years, yet have a profound impact in reshaping the Earth's surface.

In 2021 and 2022, NASA’s InSight lander picked up the tremors coming from the depths of Mars. These Marsquakes were quickly linked with orbital images revealing fresh craters. This was no coincidence: ...

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

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

A team of geologists and mineral physicists at Harvard University, the University of California, Argonne National Laboratory and the University of Chicago has found evidence via lab experiments ...

At the top of the world, there is a sea—the remains of one, at least. The summit rocks of Mount Everest, the highest ...

Studying the tectonic forces within the Earth give rise to continents, ocean basins, mountain ranges, earthquake belts, and most volcanoes, along with the resulting deformation of geological ...

Boundaries are a topic that will likely never go out of season. The reason is that there is always room for self-development, and that often includes learning to set limits with people and things ...
