Research on hidden structures deep within Earth’s mantle challenges theories about our planet’s middle layer and could ...

Whether convection in the Earth's mantle extends through its entire depth or if the mantle is layered has long been debated. Recent research suggests that spatially and temporally intermittent or ...

Scientists have discovered hidden treasures in the Earth's mantle. Hidden deep within Earth's mantle are two colossal ...

To find out, the team used whole-Earth oscillation data from 104 past earthquakes to create a detailed 3D model of the upper and lower mantle. Specifically, they incorporated data on the damping of ...

For example, the mineralogy of the Earth's mantle, especially near the Earth's core, has not been determined with certainty, or how the Earth's mantle influences convection in the Earth's core and ...

Scientists from Utrecht University have discovered two enormous structures deep in Earth's mantle, suggesting that these ...

The Earth is made up of different layers: Therefore, instead of tectonic plates moving because of the convection currents, evidence suggests it is the plates that drive the convection. Slab pull ...

My research group develops geodynamic models to relate laboratory-based rheologic and petrologic models to the large-scale behavior of the Earth. We apply these models to a range of problems, ...
