The chance finding of a note in a 15th-century Hebrew prayer book fills an important gap in the historical Italian earthquake record, offering a brief…
Aftershocks follow large earthquakes — sometimes for weeks, other times for decades. But in the U.S., some areas may be experiencing shocks from centuries-old events….
The 1923 Kantō earthquake in Tokyo led to fires responsible for 90% of the 105,000 casualties. This tragedy, detailed in a new paper in the…
Research from the University of Tokyo links fast radio bursts (FRBs) to “starquakes” on neutron stars, offering new insights into earthquakes and nuclear physics. Fast…
Caltech researchers used advanced imaging techniques to investigate increased seismic activity in California’s Long Valley Caldera, a dormant supervolcano. Since the 1980s, researchers have observed…
The cultural and political hub of El Salvador lies along the Central American Volcanic Arc. Along the Pacific coastline of Central America, a string of…
A significant water reservoir discovered beneath the ocean floor near New Zealand may offer insights into the mechanics of slow slip earthquakes and tectonic activity….
Researchers have developed a deep learning model, RECAST, that outperforms traditional methods in predicting earthquake aftershocks, especially with larger datasets. This advancement promises improved earthquake…
These findings could have implications for seismic preparedness measures in the region. In February, a 7.8-magnitude earthquake shook the Turkey-Syria border, followed by one nearly…
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…
