Extraordinary Polar Wander During the Late Jurassic?

by Mark J. Dekkers 22 April 201927 January 2023

Small amounts of polar wander have occurred during geological history, but whether larger amounts occurred is still controversial. Did a truly large polar wander event really happen?

Unraveling the Origin of Slow Earthquakes

by Terri Cook 22 January 20195 October 2022

Different nucleation styles detected in five slow-slip events in the same area of Japan’s Ryukyu subduction zone suggest the physical properties along this tectonic plate interface change over time.
