More than 25 million cubic yards of rock and ice broke loose and plunged into Greenland's Dickson Fjord, creating a ...

Seismic hazard assessment and ground motion prediction are critical fields that underpin earthquake engineering and risk mitigation strategies worldwide. By combining probabilistic methodologies with ...

In May 1997, a large earthquake shook the Kermadec Islands region in the South Pacific Ocean. A little over 20 years later, in September 2018, a second big earthquake hit the same location, its waves ...

When it comes to making a rapid estimate of ground motion and moment magnitude for an earthquake, using data from Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) might be a good alternative or addition to ...

Geophysics has shown that precise measurements and a little modeling can perform wonders, like showing us the detailed structure of the Earth’s interior despite the fact that it is inaccessibly buried ...

MIMIZAN, FRANCE—For an experiment with such ambition, the setting couldn’t have been more humble. Yet scientists from across Europe converged here—a dirt lane between a farmer’s field and a small wood ...

Lori Dengler is looking for your stories of unique observations around quakes. “I’ve heard of strange smells before, during, ...

Mars has had its first CT scan, thanks to analyses of seismic waves picked up by NASA’s InSight lander. Diagnosis: The Red Planet’s core is at least partially liquid, as some previous studies had ...

The massive earthquake that struck central Japan on Monday at 4:10 p.m. local time immediately registered on nearby seismometers. It was also recorded in the minutes that followed around the world, ...
