Communities in the High Atlas Mountains were among the hardest hit after a magnitude 6.8 earthquake caused widespread damage. A powerful earthquake has devasted communities…
New research has confirmed that fracking is responsible for the previously unexplained slow, small earthquakes or tremors. The tremors are produced by the same processes…
A University of Minnesota professor heads an international group of geoscientists investigating earthquake-impacted regions. An international team led by the University of Minnesota Twin Cities…
An 8.1-magnitude earthquake in 2009 worsened land subsidence in American Samoa. NASA scientists introduced InSAR technology, revealing increased subsidence rates post-earthquake. This research underscores the…
Computer simulations confirm that the African Superplume causes the unusual deformations and rift-parallel seismic anisotropy detected below the East African Rift System. Continental rifting involves…
A systematic global analysis of GPS time-series data from nearly 100 large earthquakes suggests the existence of a precursory phase of fault slip that occurs…
Scientists use a supercomputer to unveil the intricate dynamics of multi-fault earthquake systems. In the early hours of July 4, 2019, a 6.4 magnitude earthquake…
Leveraging the combined strengths of genetics and geology, a team of researchers from the University of Otago has revealed a previously unidentified zone of coastal…
Scientists have found a strong statistical link between changes in cosmic radiation and seismic activity, potentially aiding in earthquake prediction. However, the ability to predict…
According to new research, the Campi Flegrei supervolcano in southern Italy has become weaker, making it more likely to erupt. Using a unique model to…
Real-time classification of underwater earthquakes based on acoustic signals enables earlier, more reliable disaster preparation. Researchers have developed an AI-powered early warning system for tsunamis…
Scientists are using satellite images to locate landslides following the powerful earthquakes that struck in early February. The magnitude 7.8 and 7.5 earthquakes that shook…
350-mile-deep earthquake used in scientific study to make elusive measurements of the Earth’s layers. There may be a layer of surprisingly fluid rock ringing the…
Scientists from NASA and other agencies are using satellites to map damage caused by the devastating earthquake in the Republic of Türkiye. On February 6,…
Current fiber-optic cable systems could be leveraged to create a cost-effective, real-time ocean-to-land observatory, providing the possibility to monitor everything from ships, to earthquakes, to…
A new earthquake model has been developed by Northwestern University that considers the full history of a fault’s earthquakes to better forecast the next one….
Supershear earthquakes occur when a fault ruptures faster than seismic shear waves can travel through rock. The events were thought to be rare because scientists…
Research reveals magma activity beneath Mount Edgecumbe. According to a recent study from the Alaska Volcano Observatory, magma underneath the long-dormant Mount Edgecumbe volcano in…
