Recent research has revealed that Earth’s core is undergoing a slowdown in its rotation, a phenomenon that has piqued the ...

When his team members embarked on their research, they did not expect to document structural changes to Earth's inner core. Instead,they were focused on learning more about the slowing of its ...

The research team used that same earthquake data for a 2024 study to resolve a longstanding debate over the inner core’s rotation. They found that the inner core once spun faster than Earth itself.

Researchers will slowly melt the ice over the course of seven weeks, releasing ancient dust, volcanic ash, and diatoms, which ...

As climate change continues to be a pressing global issue, scientists are racing against time to analyze Earth’s oldest ice ...

The changes of the inner core has long been a topic of debate for scientists. However, most research has been focused on assessing rotation. John Vidale, Dean's Professor of Earth Sciences at the ...

The research team used data from 121 earthquakes gathered between 1991 and 2023 and analyzed their seismic waves, which had passed through Earth’s inner core as they traveled from the remote ...

New research uncovers how Earth's molten core leaks precious metals like gold into the mantle, contributing to volcanic island formation over billions of years.

A dynamic inner Earth Earth’s inner core is surrounded by an outer core, and the interface between the two, around 5,100 kilometres below the planet’s surface, is a mysterious realm.
