Astronomers have used the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) to peer into the early universe and uncover the building blocks of galaxies during their formative years. The CRISTAL ...

New images from the European Space Agency’s Biomass mission show how the satellite uses advanced radar to map flows of carbon through our planet’s most precious and remote ecosystems ...

Seen as a long strand with smaller threads branching, the Quipu superstructure contains 68 galaxy clusters spanning 1.4 ...

For years, scientists have worked to chart the universe’s massive structure, aiming to test key models of cosmology. These ...

For generations, a popular belief has held that the Great Wall of China is the only human-made marvel visible from space. But ...

Seismic waveform modeling is a powerful tool for determining earth structure models and unraveling earthquake rupture processes, but it is usually computationally expensive. We introduce a scheme to ...

Earthquakes create ripple effects in Earth's upper atmosphere that can disrupt satellite communications and navigation systems we rely on. Nagoya University scientists and their collaborators have ...

Unlike typical aftershocks, doublets are difficult to model because they don’t follow standard patterns. Simulating Complex Shaking Patterns with 3D Precision “The combination of 3D fault geometry and ...

"The combination of 3D fault geometry and 3D Earth structure model makes our simulations much more realistic and explains a wide set of observations very well," Mai said.

Geophysicists have discovered unexpected structures deep within the Earth’s mantle, resembling subducted tectonic plates in areas where no subduction should have occurred, using a new high-resolution ...

By analyzing the structure of the Earth's mantle, the team led by Jingchuan Wang from the University of Maryland used seismic tomography. This technique allows visualization of the Earth's internal ...

It is the first model to incorporate Earth structure to forecast Antarctic ice melt, and it estimates how quickly – and differently – sea levels will rise across the world’s coastlines.
