Climate, tectonics and time combine to create powerful forces that craft the face of our planet. Add the gradual sculpting of the Earth’s surface by rivers and what to us seems solid as rock is ...

Sparse early-stage data limits accurate geological risk assessment, increasing the chance of undetected hazards ahead of the TBM. By integrating borehole-derived information through an observation ...

A comprehensive study of the reserve and production potential of the Barnett shale integrates engineering, geology, and economics into a numerical model that allows for scenario testing based on ...

How is it that one underwater landslide leads to a devastating tsunami, while another of similar size barely causes a ripple? The answer may lie in the way the sediments slide. Cascading landslides ...

Earth’s surface is the “living skin” of our planet—it connects the physical, chemical, and biological systems. Over geological time, landscapes change as this surface evolves, regulating the carbon ...
