When we think of earthquakes, we imagine sudden, violent shaking. But deep beneath the Earth's surface, some faults move in near silence. These slow, shuffling slips and their accompanying hum -- ...

Mountains rise, volcanoes spew, and Earth itself quakes as the crust constantly remakes itself in the ceaseless cycle of ...

LoopStructural is an opensource Python library for 3D geological modelling ... LoopStructural can: Model fault networks integrating fault kinematics and overprinting relationships Model folds using ...

OK, you might remember that from a geology class. When they move against each other, that causes friction, not only at their edges, but rippling through their surfaces, and giving rise to ...

The key to establishing a three-dimensional geological model of the grille filling structure inside a cave-like reservoir is that, compared with the fault plane, the cave-like reservoir is an ...

a WHOI postdoc in Geology & Geophysics, and lead author of the study. "The conductivity structure defied all of our expectations based on what we thought we knew about oceanic transform faults." ...

Evidence suggests that the rocks in this formation were deposited in an ancient marine environment during a period of significant tectonic activity, which contributed to the complex geological ...
