Delving into the Earth’s deep interior: the future of plate tectonics? (5 min read)
The theory of plate tectonics has been in the mainstream of science thinking for the past 50 years. At such a milestone it is appropriate to see how far things have come and indeed what is still left to discover.

Excellent Geophysics Articles As Teaching Aids: Series
I will be doing a series of posts highlighting excellent (recent) geophysics articles that I feel could be used as a starting point for teaching current theories on topics in the field.
