A ‘ghost plume’ identified deep in the mantle beneath Oman suggests there may be more heat flowing out of Earth’s core than ...

Mantle plumes are important geologic processes—they interact with plate tectonics, create rich mineral deposits, and even ...

The Earth’s crust is disappearing right beneath our feet – and most people don’t even realise it. Now, if you’re a geologist, ...

A gold reservoir is hidden in Earth's core and it's leaking into the mantle, says new study A new study claims that Earth is ...

Hidden beneath the thick crust and scorching layers deep inside our Earth lies an immense stash of precious metals. Scientists have long believed these riches, which include gold and ruthenium, remain ...

In this cross-journal Collection, we focus on the contributions from geophysics and geochemistry that advance understanding of Earth’s core, the core mantle boundary, and the nature of ultra-low ...

Beneath Earth s surface, nearly 3,000 kilometers down, lies a mysterious layer where seismic waves speed up inexplicably. For decades, scientists puzzled over this D' layer. Now, groundbreaking ...

A phase change in post-perovskite materials at the so-called D” discontinuity is also evidence for long-predicted slow, convective flows in the mantle itself ...

Mantle plumes rise from the boundary of the Earth’s outer core, bringing extra heat to the underside of the Earth’s crust. In familiar cases, that heat drives magma through the crust ...

Unlocking Earth’s Hidden Hydrogen Reserves Clean hydrogen could play a major role in building a greener, more sustainable future—and it turns out, there’s plenty of it hidden deep within the Earth’s ...
