Scientists have traced a baffling monotonous planetary hum that lasted for nine days back to a glacier in Greenland ...

arrive just before a type of seismic wave known as PKP waves, which travel through the Earth during an earthquake. Now, according to a new paper in the journal AGU Advances, researchers may have ...

The earliest scientists first observed the waves that earthquakes produce before they could accurately describe the nature of earthquakes or their fundamental causes, as discussed in Lessons 1–5.

A newly discovered doughnut shape in Earth's outer core may reveal elements that help drive the formation of the planet's ...

A strange signal that shook the planet in September last year has been traced back to a tsunami from a melting glacier in the ...

A doughnut-shaped structure almost 3,000 kilometers beneath our feet has been discovered by scientists, providing new clues ...

Seismologists study earthquakes by looking at the damage that was caused and by using seismometers. A seismometer is an instrument that records the shaking of the Earth's surface caused by seismic ...

When Jared Bryan talks about his seismology research, it's with a natural finesse. He's a fifth-year Ph.D. student working ...

Precursor PKP waves arrive before the main wave after scattering off mystery features in Earth's ... patterns in real earthquake data. The researchers used data from 58 deep earthquakes with ...

Scientists at ANU have discovered a doughnut-shaped area in Earth's liquid outer core that could help explain mysteries about ...

Geologists have known for decades that gold forms in quartz with the help of earthquakes, but now they have worked out ...

According to researchers, hurricanes and other systems that create significant pressure gradients can cause seismic events.
