Researchers combined satellite geodetic measurements of surface motion with a new geophysical data inversion method to probe the Chilean subduction zone in the wake of the 2010 Maule earthquake.Read More »Geology & Geophysics
A better understanding of how earthquakes are caused by hydraulic fracturing is an important part of building better practices to manage and mitigate their risks.Read More »Geology & Geophysics
Waveform‐based location methods are being used to better characterize and understand seismic sources from the laboratory to the global scale.Read More »Geology & Geophysics
Researchers used the largest GPS data set yet to examine deformation of the crust across continental China and its implications for tectonic activity.Read More »Geology & Geophysics
A theoretical study explores why small earthquake sources can produce quasiperiodic sequences of identical events, whereas earthquakes on large faults are intrinsically more variable.Read More »Geology & Geophysics
Numerical simulations of earthquake cycle deformation reveal that co-seismic and interseismic fault propagation can produce distinct propagation angles that may be recorded in the crust.Read More »Geology & Geophysics
An international team of scientists installed a novel, dense network of 48 seismic sensors on the island of Lipari to investigate the active magma system underground.Read More »Natural Hazards
A new seafloor seismic network detected low-frequency tremor on the subduction zone interface offshore northern Japan, indicating regions of slow slip in close proximity to shallow megathrust events.Read More »
