When we talk about amazing geological features, we often limit ourselves to those on Earth. But as a geologist, I think that’s crazy – there are so many structures on other worlds that can excite and ...

This semester's classes are GE 1200, GE 2000, GE 2020, and GE 2300. Introduction to materials and processes that shape the earth we live on. Lecture and laboratories acquaint students with minerals, ...

Far beneath Earth’s surface, two enormous structures lie hidden at the edge of the planet’s molten core. These formations, ...

Geological modeling and structural analysis are cornerstones of modern geoscience, enabling the construction of three-dimensional representations of the Earth's subsurface through the integration of ...

Far below our feet, two colossal structures the size of continents sit atop Earth’s core, one beneath Africa and one beneath the Pacific Ocean. These dense, hot anomalies have puzzled geophysicists ...

I am a structural geologist, one who studies how and why the crust of Earth and other terrestrial planets deform in response to stresses arising from plate motions, loading and erosion. My research ...

Benthic foraminifera are rare on the Nazca Plate and patchy on the continental margin of the Arica Bight. The population recovered from an apparently sediment-free portion of the Peru-Chile Trench ...
