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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists have discovered an ancient geologic structure that restricts where ocean water flows, and reveals that local ocean currents may play a critical role in the ice shelf's future retreat. The ...
