Deep beneath the red soils of Western Australia, an ancient secret lay locked in stone. And through the stubborn durability ...

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 ...

"It helps us understand how do you make continents ... Massive ocean discovered beneath the Earth's crust containing more water than on the surface ...

Earth's crust today has a surprisingly similar composition ... previously thought to occur only in continental crusts made by the process of subduction, in which one tectonic plate slides under ...

Hold onto your sense of balance. Scientists have found fresh proof that Earth doesn't just drift through space — sometimes, ...

Earth’s uppermost layer, the lithosphere, is made up of the rigid crust and the top part of the mantle, which is in a denser, but more fluid state. This layer also contains Earth’s oceanic ...

Seafloor is made of a denser rock called basalt, which presses deeper into the mantle, producing basins that can fill with water. Except in the crust, the interior of the Earth cannot be studied ...

New crust is continually being pushed away from divergent boundaries (where sea-floor spreading occurs), increasing Earth's surface. But the Earth isn't getting any bigger. What happens ...

Our research group uses multidisciplinary tools to address fundamental geological questions related to the origin and evolution of Earth and other planetary bodies. The main focus is on the crust ...
