Introduction Geophysics: Interesting Volcanoes Facts
8/23/2008 11:34:21 AM
I have focused many of my recent applied geophysics posts on earthquakes, which are a large sector of the discipline but another large field of education circles around volcanoes. Volcanoes are a fact of life around the world. They are literally the reason we are here. They are like the earth’s blow off valve on a turbo car. Volcanoes release pressure from the inner core,… Read More

Applied Geophysics News: A New Take on the Earth’s Iron Core
8/11/2008 9:45:11 AM
I found a really interesting applied geophysics article from the environment section of the New Scientist that talks about a new theory about our planet’s iron core. Scientists of the applied geophysics discipline have often speculated why the earth’s core behaves differently depending on the hemisphere that is being look at. For example, the eastern hemisphere produces… Read More
