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…
Magnetometers detected faint signals that may improve our understanding of what happens before earthquakes and offer promise for early detection. Scientists studying intermediate to large…
A 6-mile (10-kilometer) asteroid hit Earth 66 million years ago, triggering the extinction of the dinosaurs. According to new evidence, the Chicxulub impact also triggered…
Scientists explain an unusual tsunami. A new study published in the journal Nature describes the process that produced and propagated an unusual tsunami following the catastrophic…
Recent earthquakes in West Texas have been connected to oil and gas operations. The number of earthquakes has been steadily increasing in the West Texas…
Theory underpins our understanding of convection in the Earth’s outer core and its function in controlling the planet’s magnetic field. Convective flows or how they…
New models that show how the continents were assembled are providing fresh insights into the history of the Earth and will help provide a better…
What Can Deep Diamonds Tell Us About Deep Earthquakes? Diamonds that formed deep in the Earth could help seismologists answer a decades-old question: could fluids…
On the micrometer scale deformation properties of metals change profoundly: the smooth and continuous behavior of bulk materials often becomes jerky due to random strain…
Earthquakes themselves affect the movement of Earth’s tectonic plates, which in turn could impact on future earthquakes, according to new research from the University of…
Researchers uncover why a complex earthquake in the south Atlantic sent an unexpected tsunami around the world in 2021. A 47 km-deep, magnitude 7.5 earthquake…
In July 2019, a series of earthquakes including two major shocks of magnitude 6.4 and 7.1 a day apart struck near Ridgecrest, CA, between Los…
