Giant regions of the mantle where seismic waves slow down may have formed from subducted ocean crust, a new study finds.
Surprising differences in the two so-called Large Low-Velocity Provinces may risk instability in Earth's protective magnetic field.
Researchers examining seismic data recorded on Mars say the have found evidence supporting the presence of liquid water deep ...
Mars might hold enough subsurface water to cover its surface in a global ocean between 0.62 to 1.24 miles (1 to 2 kilometers) ...
Full Waveform Inversion (FWI) is capable of finely characterizing the velocity structure, anisotropy, viscoelasticity, and attenuation properties of subsurface media, which provides critical ...
Earth’s solid inner core appears to have changed shape in the past 20 years or so, according to seismic wave measurements – but the behaviour of these waves could also be explained by other ...
which uses "electrical energy . . . as a wave source" that "monitor[s] seismic wave energy" on dry, wet, and frozen diabase samples. Experimentation revealed that the seismic velocities of the dry ...
