When the edge of a Greenland glacier breaks off into the sea to become an iceberg, can a global seismic network "hear" it?

A new look at the Juan de Fuca tectonic plate beneath the coast of northern Oregon suggests this subducting slab is shallower ...

The Ontong Java Plateau (OJP), located in the Pacific Ocean, formed around 110 to 120 million years ago through massive submarine volcanic eruptions. This event is considered the most extensive ...

SWOT satellite captured a Pacific-wide tsunami in high-resolution, revealing complex wave patterns that challenge tsunami ...

Surface wave seismology has emerged as a critical tool in the investigation of the Earth’s near‐surface structure. Dispersion analysis, which examines the frequency‐dependent velocity of surface waves ...

An earthquake in Alaska causing seismic waves to penetrate the Earth's innermost inner core. Credit: Drew Whitehouse, Son Phạm and Hrvoje Tkalčic. Data captured from seismic waves caused by ...

A little over a year ago, seismic instruments across the planet picked up an unprecedented signal of unknown origin for which, until recently, no scientific explanation had been discovered. Dickson ...

The study of earthquakes called Seismology, relies on the fact that different materials within the Earth react differently to stress. When a fault slips, energy radiates outward from the focus (the ...

A tsunami stemming from a landslide in a Greenland fjord, caused by melting ice, was behind a surprising seismic event last year that shook the earth for nine days, a researcher told AFP on Friday.

Researchers have mathematically elucidated how the presence of crystals and gas bubbles in magma affects the propagation of seismic P-waves. A novel equation was derived to describe the travel of ...

Rock sample of Bentheim sandstone, inside a protective neoprene jacket and with all the sensors glued to its surface, before going into GFZ's experimental press. Solid as they are, rocks are not ...
