The research article, published in ACS Earth and Space Chemistry, also resulted in a journal cover. "Representing the relationship between olivine structure and composition is essential for taking ...

The Inaccessible Earth: An Integrated View to Its Structure and Composition. 2nd ed. Chapman and Hall, 1993. DOI: 10.1007/978-94-011-1516-2. Drake, Michael J., and Kevin Righter.

For generations, scientists have probed the structure and composition of the planet using seismic wave studies. This consists of measuring shock waves caused by earthquakes as they penetrate and ...

The composition and temperature of the Earth's interior are fundamental for understanding the Earth's interior and dynamics. Because it's impossible to directly access most areas of the Earth's ...

A thin, yet dense, sunken ocean floor could be deep between the Earth’s core and mantle. The findings of a new study published April 5 in the journal Science Advances used global-scale seismic ...

The Earth’s inner core, predominantly composed of iron with a minor admixture of nickel and light elements, is a critical component in understanding our planet’s magnetic field and thermal ...

A team of researchers from around the world has mapped the electrical structure of Earth's lithosphere — or the crust and upper mantle — to a depth of about 155 miles (250 kilometers).

Knowing the shape and composition of the solid Earth beneath the Antarctic ice sheet is important because it influences how the ice flows ... Because of gravity and Earth structure and rotation, ...
