Earthquakes Could Funnel Radio Waves to Dark Zones in Mountains
By being coupled with a layer of mobile electrical charges on the Earth's surface, radio waves could travel over the ground to areas that would normally be unreachable, like behind a mountain.
All Earthquakes Are Created Equal
A study of the development of earthquakes shows that the size of the initial rupture does not determine its intensity or range later on.
Tremors Reveal the Structure of Deep Glacial Shafts
Seismic waves produced by free-falling meltwater could improve understanding of glacial drainage processes.
Mapping the Movement of Energy Under Japan
New research on the energy waves caused by earthquakes provides the most detailed map to date of the subduction zone beneath Japan.
Tracking Down Elusive Origins of Kazakhstan's 1889 Chilik Quake
New fieldwork and satellite data suggest that three faults may have caused a large earthquake near Almaty, Kazakhstan, more than a century ago.
Understanding Slow Slip and Tremor on Plate Boundaries
Chapman Conference on Slow Slip Phenomena; Ixtapa, Mexico, 21–25 February 2016
New Law Puts the Squeeze on the Arizona Geological Survey
Arizona state services at risk include a program to map Earth fissures; the state's earthquake-monitoring network; and the Survey's mineral resources program.
A New View of the Plate Dynamics Behind Earthquakes in Ecuador
Scientists get one step closer to an updated seismic hazard map that could help Ecuador prepare for future tremors.
Does Geothermal Exploitation Trigger Earthquakes in Tuscany?
For the past 25 years, power production has been accompanied by a small but steady increase in seismicity near geothermal wells. A new project seeks to explore why.
