This sample, which is more than six times longer than the previous core of mantle rock, has given us a glimpse into the composition of this mostly inaccessible layer of the Earth. You can read full ...

Interdisciplinary in scope, The Earth's Mantle is a comprehensive overview of the composition, structure and evolution of the mantle layer. Striking a balance between established consensus and ...

The mantle can, rarely, be sampled directly, as in the study discussed in the News & Views article on page 215 of this issue. But its composition can also be inferred from basaltic rocks in the ...

China’s Chang’e-6 mission uncovers 2.83-billion-year-old secrets on the Moon’s far side, revealing unique volcanism, mantle mysteries, and crustal insights that reshape lunar science.

A research published in ‘Earth and Planetary Science Letters’, focuses on the crustal dynamics of collision zones like the ...

The oxygen fugacity (fO 2) of the mantle controls the speciation and mobility of volatiles within it, influencing the composition of volatiles released during mantle-derived magmatic activity ...

ITHACA, N.Y. – By probing chemical processes observed in the Earth’s hot mantle, Cornell scientists have started developing a library of basalt-based spectral signatures that not only will help reveal ...
