NASA and ISRO Join Forces for NISAR Satellite Launch in 2025 to Track Earth’s Changing Surface
The NISAR satellite, a joint NASA-ISRO Earth observation mission launching in 2025, will provide precise data on shifts in Earth’s surface, focusing on high-risk areas. Using advanced radar technology, the satellite aims to support natural disaster response and infrastructure monitoring by tracking subtle movements in regions prone to earthquakes...

Study Reveals Ultra-Low Velocity Zones May Be More Common in Earth's Mantle Than Previously Thought
A new study published in AGU Advances has unveiled intriguing findings about ultra-low velocity zones (ULVZs) in Earth's mantle, suggesting these mysterious features might be more widespread than previously thought.ULVZs, which are known to dramatically slow seismic waves by up to 50%, have long been associated with volcanic hotspots such as Hawaii...
