Seismology News Stories
Current Seismology News Events, Discoveries and Articles
Big quakes spark jolts worldwide
Until 1992, when California's magnitude-7.3 Landers earthquake set off small jolts as far away as Yellowstone National Park, scientists did not believe large earthquakes sparked smaller tremors at distant locations. (2008-05-27)
Seismologist's project uses public's laptops to monitor and predict earthquakes
A simple idea for monitoring earthquakes that Elizabeth Cochran, a seismologist at UC Riverside, came up with in 2006 is being realized today, and has the potential to save lives in case an earthquake strikes. (2008-04-03)
COROT surprises a year after launch
The space-borne telescope, COROT (Convection, Rotation and planetary Transits), has just completed its first year in orbit. The observatory has brought in surprises after over 300 days of scientific observations. (2007-12-21)
Geoscience converges under pressure
The contents of the deep Earth affect the planet as a whole, including life at its surface, but scientists must find unusual ways to "see" it. (2007-05-22)
Complex structure observed in Tonga mantle wedge has implications for the evolution of volcanic arcs
The subduction zones where oceanic plates sink beneath the continents produce volcanic arcs such as those that make up the "rim of fire" around the Pacific Ocean. (2007-04-13)
High-resolution images herald new era in Earth sciences
High-resolution images that reveal unexpected details of the Earth's internal structure are among the results reported by MIT and Purdue scientists in the March 30 issue of Science. (2007-04-09)
Experts at Nevada develop technology to increase effectiveness of tsunami warning systems
Scientists at the University of Nevada, Reno are at the forefront on a number of seismological fields, including helping the world better determine whether an earthquake is big enough to generate an ocean-wide tsunami. (2007-04-03)
Seismologists measure heat flow from Earth's molten core into the lower mantle
For the first time, scientists have directly measured the amount of heat flowing from the molten metal of Earth's core into a region at the base of the mantle, a process that helps drive both the movement of tectonic plates at the surface and the geodynamo in the core that generates Earth's magnetic field. (2006-11-27)
Alaskan storm cracks giant iceberg to pieces in faraway Antarctica
A severe storm that occurred in the Gulf of Alaska in October 2005 generated an ocean swell that six days later broke apart a giant iceberg floating near the coast of Antarctica, more than 8,300 miles away. (2006-10-03)
Is a Russian peninsula really part of North America?
For many years geologists have harbored a belief that the Kamchatka Peninsula, shrouded in mystery and secrecy on Russia's east coast, actually sits on the same tectonic plate as the mainland United States, Canada and Mexico. (2006-05-03)
