Using nearly four decades of seismic data from stations encompassing the northern, central, and southern Sierra Nevada along California's eastern border, geologists have uncovered signs of a critical ...
I study the elastic properties of silicate glasses, experimental analogues for silicate melts, to interpret seismic anomalies in Earth's upper mantle. I use shockless dynamic compression, resonant ...
When an earthquake rattles Earth's surface, seismic waves shoot through the mantle—the 2,900-kilometer-thick dynamic layer of hot rock between Earth's crust and metal core. Thorne's team is ...
I study the elastic properties of silicate glasses, experimental analogues for silicate melts, to interpret seismic anomalies in Earth's upper mantle. I use shockless dynamic compression, gigahertz ...
Seismic anomalies in the area further support this connection, revealing a complex interplay of volcanic and glacial processes. The discovery of the fact that the Great Lakes originate from a ...
