A new finding rests on the recognition that fault types differ between the two regions. It helps explain prior evidence that human-induced quakes and natural ones behave the same in the nation’s center.Read More »Ocean Sciences
Simulations of the historical quake raise new concerns: A similar event in the future could cause a devastating tsunami in Chile’s most populated coastal region.Read More »Geology & Geophysics
A new approach may fine-tune estimates of the range of shaking from earthquakes and help define areas of potential damage.Read More »Mathematical Geophysics
A global review of earthquake rupture parameters reveals that deep earthquakes have larger fracture energies and may have different rupture mechanisms than shallower seismic events.Read More »History of Geophysics
Last August, stations on a newly deployed permanent ocean floor observation network recorded rarely seen, very low frequency signals from shallow earthquakes.Read More »
