Research on hidden structures deep within Earth’s mantle challenges theories about our planet’s middle layer and could ...

Our planet's interior is much too deep and hot to explore with probes, so scientists rely on seismic waves to understand and ...

Scientists at the Australian National University have made a highly unusual discovery thousands of miles beneath the Earth's surface: a doughnut-shaped structure within our planet's liquid core.

The Earth has a layered structure made up of the core, the mantle and the crust. Different elements are present in different parts of the Earth’s structure. The crust is made from enormous ...

Deeply hidden in Earth’s mantle there are two huge ‘islands’ with the size of a continent. New research from Utrecht ...

While most of us take the ground beneath our feet for granted, written within its complex layers, like the pages of a book, is Earth's history.

Research using ultrafast X-ray spectroscopy unveils iron's melting and phase behaviour at Earth core pressures.

The heart of this theme is our expertise in isotope geochemistry, atmospheric processes, mineral physics and seismology, allowing the investigation of the formation, interior structure and atmospheres ...
