Deepwater rock wrinkles likely formed from chemosynthetic microbes, not just physical processes, reshaping assumptions about ...

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 ...

New research near Uluru in Australia's arid center shows that rock structures formed deep within the ancient Gondwana supercontinent controlled the rupture pathways of one of Australia's largest ...

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 ...

At Bates, faculty advise student theses on a range of topics. To get a sense of what is possible in EACS, have a look at the list of theses and e-copies of theses that have been done over the last ...

Researchers created a seismic map of Earth's interior beneath the southeastern Pacific Ocean and discovered an ancient slab of oceanic crust that appears to be stuck midway through the mantle. When ...
