Echo chamber and trench warfare dynamics in online debates

In this article, we take issue with the claim by Sunstein and others that online discussion takes place in echo chambers, and suggest that the dynamics of online debates could be more aptly described by the logic of 'trench warfare', in which opinions are reinforced through contradiction as well as confirmation. We use a unique online survey and an experimental approach to investigate and test ...

Evidence for active subduction at the New Guinea Trench

[1] Recent seismic tomography imaging shows clear evidence for southwestward subduction along the entire length of the New Guinea Trench (NGT) in Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. Viewed in conjunction with the occurrence of large (Mw > 7) thrust earthquakes that are known to have occurred on the trench, this confirms conclusions of earlier studies that the NGT is an active, inter-plate boundary....
