A UCLA-led team of scientists has uncovered how the devastating magnitude 7.7 earthquake that struck Myanmar in March 2025 ...

Complex interior: illustration showing the two different layers of the Martian mantle between the core and crust. Also shown is how the layers affect seismic waves detected by InSight. (Courtesy: IPGP ...

New research published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters uses the San Gabriel Valley Basin in California as a case study for a new method of monitoring groundwater storage. Monitoring the ...

Scientists observed seismic waves traveling through Mars’ core for the first time and confirmed model predictions of the core’s composition. “In 1906, scientists first discovered the Earth’s core by ...

Chemical reactions deep below ground affect water quality, but methods for 'seeing' them are time-consuming, expensive and limited in scope. A research team found that seismic waves can help to ...

When a slab slides beneath an overriding plate in a subduction zone, the slab takes on a property called anisotropy, meaning ...

Pressure waves from the colossal 2022 Tonga eruption rippled through Alaska’s crust, offering scientists a rare look into the state’s deep subsurface. Atmospheric waves from a powerful volcanic erupti ...

Researchers working in the Marsquake Service at ETH Zurich have been analyzing the measurements made by the NASA InSight mission’s seismometer on one of our neighbouring planets. For almost three ...

Geophysics has shown that precise measurements and a little modeling can perform wonders, like showing us the detailed structure of the Earth’s interior despite the fact that it is inaccessibly buried ...

New NASA InSight research reveals that Mars has a liquid core rich in sulfur and oxygen, leading to new clues about how terrestrial planets form, evolve and potentially sustain life. Scientists ...
