Modern life can feel dizzying, like everything is motion and change. But there are some constants we set our lives against: the relative position of the stars wheeling above, the mountaintops below, ...

GFZ researchers identify where to expect natural and exploitable hydrogen resources using state-of-the-art simulations of plate tectonic processes The solution may be found in nature, since various ...

Springer has awarded the Computational Science and Engineering (CSE) Prize 2011 to Laura Alisic, Carsten Burstedde and Georg Stadler for their outstanding work on simulating global mantle convection ...

With tectonic plates bumping and grinding against each other, Earth is a pretty active planet. But when did this activity begin? A new study from Yale University claims to have found evidence that ...

Geophysicists can use a new model to explain the behavior of a tectonic plate sinking into a subduction zone in the Earth's mantle: the plate becomes weak and thus more deformable when mineral grains ...
