Rheological cycles of damage and healing: how cratons become strong At the core of every continent lies a cold, ancient heart. This heart, termed a “craton” (from Greek “Krátos,” meaning “power, strength”), has a deep, thick root extending greater than 200 km. To have survived for billions of years on a continually resurfaced planet, cratons and their roots must maintain a delicate balance between thermal and chemical buoyancy. Some cratons, however, show signs of breakage induced by unusua...

Hunting for High-Energy Neutrinos: the Coherent Radio Technique Austin Cummings, PhD; Penn State University High energy neutrinos provide a unique window into observations of the most violent physical phenomena in the universe. At the highest energies, the flux of these particles at Earth is incredibly low, making direct detection challenging, a problem which is further compounded by their miniscule interaction probabilities. By measuring emission from particle cascades sourced from neutri...
