Ocean wave intensification since the late 1980s: Each circle is a seismic station, with size proportional to the vertical acceleration of the Earth at that station smoothed over three years.

Two Australian scientists argue in a new paper that within the Earth’s core, based on measurements of waves reverberating along the Earth’s diameter, is an innermost inner core, about 800 ...

A Revolutionary Way to Study Earth’s Core. Seismic waves, traditionally generated by earthquakes, can now be detected from the movement of ocean waters caused by intense storms.The recent ...

ON April 2 a strong tunami, beginning near Unimak in the Aleutians, ranged the Pacific Coast of the Americas and the Pacific Islands to distances of 7,000 miles. At Scotch Cape Lighthouse, near ...

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 ...

Wave energy increased, on average, more than twice the global rate since the 1980s, with seismic stations in the eastern United States showing increases between 0.6 and 0.8 percent per year.

Seismic Oceanography: The application of seismic reflection methods to image the internal structure of the ocean, enabling interpretations of temperature, salinity, and density variations.

The sea is getting angry, my friends. Waves and surf along the California coast are getting bigger and taller because of global warming, a new study released this week suggests.. In fact, winter ...

These mysterious waves, known as PKP precursors, arrive just before a type of seismic wave known as PKP waves, which travel through the Earth during an earthquake.

Scientists have known that seismic waves slow down when passing through ultra-low velocity zones, or ULVZs, but only knew they existed around hotspots that create volcanic island chains. Now, a ...
