An international team of researchers has discovered amounts of highly toxic mercury in the deepest trenches of the Pacific Ocean that exceed any value ever recorded in distant marine sediments. Experts report that the mercury levels that have accumulated in the remote Pacific are even higher than in many areas …

The research group of Professor YAO Huajian of the School of Earth and Space Sciences of the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), in cooperation with Dr Piero Poli of the University of Grenoble-Alpes from France, combined the unique resolution of reflected body waves (P410P and P660P) extracted …

A scientific article recently published in Nature Publishing’s Scientific reports The newspaper found unprecedented amounts of highly toxic mercury being deposited in the deepest trenches in the Pacific Ocean. The study, a multinational effort involving scientists from Denmark, Canada, Germany and Japan, reports the first-ever direct measurements of mercury deposition …

High Pressure Science and Technology Advanced Research Center As the plates carry water inside the Earth, the phase transitions of dry olivine, the main mineral in the plates, are believed to be responsible for deep-focusing earthquakes and deformation of the plates. This study resolves the contradiction of the presence of …
