Geotimes May 2007 Kathryn Hansen	Deep Earth May Hold an Ocean Earth's deep interior, more than 1,000 kilometers below the surface in the mantle, could prove to be a watery place. That's the conclusion researchers drew from an anomaly uncovered by the first global map of Earth's lower mantle, using a new type of seismic analysis.
Geotimes November 2005 Sara Pratt	Super-Rotation for Earth's Core A new earthquake study supports the 1996 finding that Earth's inner core is spinning faster than the planet's mantle and crust -- at a rate detectable on human timescales, but about one-third of the rate first suggested.

Geotimes February 2004 Naomi Lubick	Triggering Tsunamis A controversy over whether an earthquake or an underwater landslide generated the 1998 Papua New Guinea tsunami rekindled interest in such events; it also drew geologists into a field that had been dominated by modelers and seismologists.
Geotimes September 2005 Naomi Lubick	Repositioning Tokyo's Fault Seismologists now think Tokyo's fault sits closer to Earth's surface than previously thought. If the fault is indeed shallower, the new assessment has the potential to revise the projected hazards Tokyo may face in the future.
Geotimes January 2006 Naomi Lubick	Seismic Warnings Researchers suggest that the first few seconds of an earthquake have the potential to reveal the final size that an earthquake will grow to be -- with implications for how earthquakes physically unfold.
