Starting at the surface, you would have to dig nearly 2,000 miles before reaching the Earth’s core. No one could survive that trip – and the 10,000-degree F heat once there would vaporize you anyway.

New research could eventually lead to better earthquake models on strike-slip faults, regions with frequent and major earthquakes.

Researchers may have a way to forecast hard-to-predict events like earthquakes and pandemics with less data.

Mars has generally been considered geologically dead. But marsquakes indicate volcanic activity still plays a role in shaping its surface.

New research led by the University of Cambridge is the first to obtain a detailed 'image' of an unusual pocket of rock at the boundary layer with Earth’s core,

New breakwater designs and more sustainable materials can cut the carbon cost of coastal defences by 40%.

When researchers look at CCTV footage of how people really react during earthquakes – as opposed to what they report after the fact – it looks like alerts aren’t yet inspiring protective action.
