Many faults that generate earthquakes are clogged with water-saturated gouge. This granular medium likely plays a role in the fault’s response to stress. Read more
The dynamics of plate tectonics and mantle convection are inseparably coupled. Rigid oceanic plates are made from the same material as the ductile mantle below, but are much colder. Read more
Our understanding of the long-term evolution of the Earth is informed by analysis of the history of the geomagnetic field that also protects the environment and permits surface habitability. Read more
The South Caucasus (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Turkiye) is a region prone to earthquake and related hazards, with an abundant record of earthquakes (e.g. Read more

Within just ~5 Myr following the ignition of the Sun, our solar system transformed from a chaotic disk of dust and gas into an organised system of planetary bodies. Read more
CaSiO. 3. Davemaoite is a high-pressure and high-temperature calcium silicate perovskite mineral with a cubic crystal structure (Tschauner et al., 2021). Read more
The surface of the Earth moves nearly continuously. It is shaken by wind, ocean waves, meteor impacts, earthquakes, cars, and trains, among other sources. Read more
