The threat of explosive volcanic eruptions looms over many cities around the world. Earthquakes, another major geological hazard, are known to have some relationship with…
New seismic data provide structural basis for strong earthquakes that strike at both ends of the Pacific Northwest fault zone. With four years of data…
Geophysicists have obtained detailed three-dimensional images of a dangerous megathrust fault west of Costa Rica where two plates of the Earth’s crust collide. The images…
Scientists presented evidence tying the disposal of wastewater from shale gas hydrofracking to an increased occurrence of earthquakes. The scientists presented their findings at the…
Last year, the surprise 5.8-magnitude earthquake that struck central Virginia was actually worse than previously thought. Detailed analyses of the ground motions triggered by the…
A new study from the Australian National University examines defects in rocks found below the earth’s surface in an attempt to better understand how seismic…
Geologists are using new airborne lidar equipment to study earthquakes and provide comprehensive before-and-after pictures earthquake zones. The lidar (light detection and ranging) equipment can…
Italian toads can apparently sense earthquakes like the earthquake that struck L’Aquila on April 6th, 2009. We know this because Dr. Rachel Grant of the…
