The banks of the Dead Sea are the lowest point on dry land but not the deepest point on Earth's surface. That distinction ...

Satellite imagery has revealed a yet-to-be-explained rise in the Southern Ocean's salinity. It could be a key factor in the ...

"Its deep, undisturbed waters have acted like a natural time capsule, trapping layers of sediment year after year, each ...

Normally, younger rocks are deposited above older ones, forming predictable geologic layers. In the North Sea, this process ...

The graphite found in your favorite pencil could have instead been the diamond your mother always wears. What made the ...

Key Takeaways on Earth's Inner Core Earth's inner core is solid and blistering hot. For decades, scientists have known ...

Tropospheric scintillation on Earth-space paths greatly increases at low elevation angles and/or higher carrier frequencies, may impair low margin systems, and can interfere with the power control ...

Plans to expand stone quarrying to within 100-150 metres of an historic village near Banbury are being fiercely opposed.

This work presents a laboratory study on the behavior of turbulent boundary layers over steep topographic elevations. Two main topics of interest are addressed here: (i) to investigate and ...

Geologists have long debated whether a stony formation in Canada contains the world’s oldest rocks – new measurements make a ...

Over a thousand miles from the surface, in Earth’s D” layer—right on the edge of the liquid metal outer core—there is a weird acceleration of seismic waves. Experiments recreating the phenomenon in a ...

Current standard numerical methods are of little use in solving mathematical problems involving boundary layers. In Robust Computational Techniques for Boundary Layers, the authors construct numerical ...
