Each blow sends a clang echoing down the street and vibrations deep into the ground. In a lab half a mile away, scientists watch their screens to see whether those vibrations register on a seismometer ...

Every year, the Earth shakes thousands of times. Most of those tremors go unnoticed, felt only by sensitive instruments buried deep in the ground. Occasionally, though, one of them tears apart cities, ...

Scientists discovered that deep earthquake faults can heal far faster than expected, sometimes within hours. Slow slip events in Cascadia reveal repeated fault movements that only make sense if the ...

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) - A grad student at UAF is helping with an Alaska Earthquake Center project aimed at developing a new method for better locating offshore earthquakes that could be integrated ...

A rare, ultra-long earthquake in Myanmar revealed that mature faults can deliver their full force directly to the surface. The discovery could mean stronger shaking near faults like California’s San ...

On January 1, 2008, at 1:59 am in Calipatria, California, an earthquake happened. You haven’t heard of this earthquake; even if you had been living in Calipatria, you wouldn’t have felt anything. It ...

A research group led by Satoshi Ide from the University of Tokyo has demonstrated that classic earthquake generation theory does not hold in areas where the angle at which a tectonic plate dips under ...

Sometimes to truly study something up close, you have to take a step back. That's what Andrea Donnellan does. An expert in Earth sciences and seismology, she gets much of her data from a bird's-eye ...
