Seismic wave propagation in porous media is a multifaceted phenomenon where elastic waves traverse rock matrices hosting fluids within their interconnected pores and fractures. This interplay between ...

In some parts of Earth's interior, seismic waves travel at different speeds depending on the direction in which they are ...

You are going about your day. All is calm and quiet until suddenly, the ground beneath your feet begins to shake, and items ...

According to physics, seismic waves from earthquakes should travel in a four-leaf clover pattern, but in the real world they behave more like ripples in a pond. New research has found the pattern ...

Over a thousand miles from the surface, in Earth’s D” layer—right on the edge of the liquid metal outer core—there is a weird acceleration of seismic waves. Experiments recreating the phenomenon in a ...

Comparison of coda waves, the scattered waves that arrive after the direct waves of a seismic event, can be used to determine the relative locations of two underground explosions, according to a new ...

Chemical reactions deep below ground affect water quality, but methods for "seeing" them are time-consuming, expensive and limited in scope. A Penn State-led research team found that seismic waves can ...

Earth’s heart may have a secret chamber. The planet’s inner core isn’t just a solid ball of nickel and iron, researchers say, but contains two layers of its own: a distinct central region nestled ...

Scientists are raising the alarm about a potential seismic catastrophe on the West Coast of North America. Recent studies ...

Before Martian dust blanketed the solar panels of NASA’s InSight lander and brought about its end, the robotic mission felt two seismic events passing through the planet’s liquid metal core. Irving, ...
