if you were able to hold the Earth in your hand and slice it in half, you'd see that it has multiple layers. But of course, the interior of our world continues to hold some mysteries for us. Even as we intrepidl
Seismological studies have previously detected abundant scatterers in the lower mantle, potentially linked to long-term slab subduction, and petrology studies suggest carbonates can be sequestrated within the oceanic crust and transported into the lower mantle via subduction. Here, we report ab initio ...
Revealed by powerful earthquakes, the subterranean structures offer exciting new clues to why our planet is a chemical oddball.

This review presents the progress made in the last decade in the field of large-scale electromagnetic (EM) induction with natural sources, which fluctuate
Gap models have been implemented in numerous forest biomes worldwide at the stand scale (Shugart et al., 2018, 2020) and also spatially distributed across large regions including the Amazon basin (Rödig et al., 2017), Russia (Shuman et al., 2017), and interior Alaska (Foster et al.,...
Las Vegas—Inclusions are important not only in the study of their host gemstones but also for other scientific disciplines, and one recent discovery shows how much scientists rely on these imperfections to further their understanding. The University of Nevada, Las Vegas saidin a statementthat...
Chinese scientists are confident by doing so, many of the previous unknown events and patterns in Earth's history will reveal themselves, thus give them a more objective perspective on the state of our biodiversity today. The use of supercomputers in geological studies are am...
Processes that redistribute mass on Earth’s surface or in the interior, such as ice melting, groundwater depletion, sea-level rise and solid Earth deformation, induce a polar motion through a perturbation of the inertia tensor I(t). Deglaciation of the Northern Hemispheric ice sheets since the...
A range of parameterization options is available to account for the cumulative effects of unresolved processes in the models, such as cloud formation, radiation, planetary boundary layers, and land surface processes. By combining the aforementioned components, forecasts are routinely carried out by ...
