There are places on this planet that feel less like corners of the Earth and more like fragments from a dream, or perhaps the ...

Subduction zones, where one tectonic plate dives underneath another, drive the world’s most devastating earthquakes and tsunamis. How do these danger zones come to be? A study in Geology presents ...

Each table is composed of fragments of Peruvian stone – marble, travertine, onyx – joined with remarkable precision to create a kind of sculptural geology. The designs are based on abstractions of ...

A flurry of seismic activity that caused 160 quakes in just two hours at the Laguna del Maule volcanic field in central Chile has put authorities on alert. 160 quakes occurred in the area during a ...

The central Andes provide an excellent place to study potential linkages among such processes. The region features a tectonically erosive forearc, protracted arc magmatism, a high-elevation hinterland ...

The ice loss in the Andes could reduce the water flow to the Amazon rivers by up to 20%.

Hiking down from 15,000 feet in the Bolivian Andes mountains to our mineral exploration base camp at 13,000 feet, I was thinking; “Why do mountains have to be so dang ...
