A persistent "gravity hole" beneath Antarctica gives scientists a window into Earth's deep interior, showing how processes ...

Scientists at Stanford have unveiled the first-ever global map of rare earthquakes that rumble deep within Earth’s mantle rather than its crust. Long debated and notoriously difficult to confirm, ...

Gravitational anomalies detected by NASA and the German Aerospace Center’s GRACE satellites confused scientists for years. Here’s what happened.

Deep inside Earth, far below the crust and mantle we learn about in school, scientists are mapping strange, continent-sized structures that appear to shape everything from volcanic hotspots to the ...

When we dream of landscapes, we might imagine rolling valleys or rugged mountains. But there is a whole landscape hidden from human view: the secret world of the seafloor.

According to a new study, researchers have identified a massive gravity hole-technically known as a Geoid Low-beneath the Antarctic ice surrounding the Southern Ocean. This discovery is providing ...
