Unraveling the Origins of Australia’s Ancient Mountain Chains

by Terri Cook 5 November 201813 October 2022

New data synthesis suggests that varying rates of trench retreat along the margin of the Gondwana supercontinent were responsible for the curvature of the Tasmanide mountain chains.

Removing the Drudgery from Earthquake Seismology

by M. K. Savage 26 July 201813 January 2022

New methods of machine learning are bringing the phase arrival time and polarity picking used for automatic determination of earthquake fault planes to accuracies better than human analysists.

Basement Structure Mapped by Phase Autocorrelations of Noise

by M. K. Savage 9 July 201813 January 2022

Cross-correlations of ambient seismic noise are combined with well log data to image shallow crustal basement features in the Ebro Basin in Spain.

New evidence suggests volcanoes on China’s Hainan Island are the result of a hot spot

Linking Mantle Plumes to Volcanoes and Hot Spot Tracks

by E. Underwood 11 June 20184 August 2023

Study bolsters hypothesis that volcanoes on China’s Hainan Island were formed by a hot spot.

A new study uses GPS data to trace how aquifers in karst affect deformation of the Eastern Alps

Karst Groundwater Contributes to Deformation in Eastern Alps

by David Shultz 8 June 20181 November 2021

GPS data show compression and extension strains in the region resulting from changes in aquifer water levels.

Researchers model magma flow under Iceland’s Bárðarbunga volcano to spot previously undetected eruptions

Magma Flow in a Major Icelandic Eruption

Sarah Stanley, Science Writer by Sarah Stanley 23 May 20181 November 2021

Mechanical modeling suggests that previous, undetected eruptions released tectonic stress near the ice-covered Bárðarbunga volcano.

Challenging the Day Diagram, a Rock Magnetism Paradigm

by Terri Cook 22 May 201827 January 2023

A critique of the plot routinely used to determine bulk magnetic properties concludes the technique is so ambiguous that new approaches to understanding magnetic mineral assemblages must be developed.

What Shaped the Northern Apennine Deformation Front?

by Terri Cook 18 May 20188 November 2021

An integrated interpretation of well and seismic reflection data from Italy’s Po Valley shows the range’s undulations are controlled by the slope and composition of two major gliding horizons.

Researchers map continental deformation in northwestern Tibet.

New Insights into Continental Deformation in Northwestern Tibet

by Terri Cook 9 May 201813 April 2022

A new surface velocity map shows strain localized along major strike-slip features, suggesting the central Tibetan Plateau is not deforming as a fluid in response to gravitational collapse.

Researchers use the 2015 eruption of Chile’s Calbuco volcano to test how well remote infrasound monitoring can detect volcanic activity

Harnessing Remote Infrasound to Study Volcanic Eruptions

by Terri Cook 30 April 20182 May 2022

Data from the 2015 eruption of Chile’s Calbuco volcano suggest the international network built to monitor nuclear explosions may also be used to detect and characterize volcanic activity.
