Volcano-like tremors detected deep within Earth's crust near San Andreas
Tremors within the Earth are usually-but not always-related to the activity of a volcano. Now, such vibrations have been recorded nowhere near a volcano, but at a geologic observatory at the San Andreas Fault. view more (2006-04-13)
Real-Time Seismic Monitoring Station Installed Atop Active Underwater Volcano
This week, researchers will begin direct monitoring of the rumblings of a submarine volcano in the southeastern Caribbean Sea. view more (2007-05-11)
DOES NESSIE STIR WHEN THE EARTH SHAKES?
The Loch Ness Monster could be the result of earthquakes, according to Dr Luigi Piccardi, a geologist at the Centro di Studio dell' Appennino e delle Catene Perimediterranee (Firenze) who specialises in finding links between mythical and historical descriptions and geological phenomena. Dr. Piccardi presents his theory in a poster session at Earth... view more... (2001-06-21)
An active spreading ridge discovered off the Futuna Islands (South-West Pacific)
In the context of a French national research programme on natural hazards, a bathymetric survey was undertaken off the Futuna and Alofi Islands in the South-West Pacific. Its objective was to improve knowledge of deformations of the oceanic lithosphere in this part of the Pacific which suffers intense seismic activity. During the campaign, called... view more...

Fatal mine collapse covered 50 acres
New calculations show that the deadly Crandall Canyon mine collapse - which registered as a magnitude-3.9 earthquake - began near where miners were excavating coal and quickly grew to a 50-acre cave-in, University of Utah seismologists say in a report on the tragedy. view more (2008-06-02)
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. view more (2007-04-09)
Earth's first rainforest unearthed
A spectacular fossilised forest has transformed our understanding of the ecology of the Earth's first rainforests. It is 300 million years old. view more (2007-04-23)
U of M to help NASA 'follow the sun' — in stereo
Like geologists poring over seismograph records to identify the telltale signature of an imminent earthquake, University of Minnesota researchers are poised to probe the sun for a tipoff that a huge eruption of its corona is brewing. view more (2006-10-19)
Marsquake detection sensors will take search for water underground
Researchers at Imperial College London have just begun a 5-year project to design and build tiny earthquake measuring devices to go to Mars on the 2007 NetLander mission. Unlike the instruments on next year`s European Mars Express/Beagle II mission, the Marsquake sensors will be the first to look deep inside the planet. The internal structure of... view more...

UCL scientists create first earthquakes in the laboratory
Scientists at UCL have recreated earthquakes in the laboratory for the first time allowing them to better understand the origin of the largest and most violent earthquakes. This is the first time scientists have been able to generate and observe deep and intermediate focus earthquakes in the laboratory, recreating the exact pressure and... view more... (2002-11-14)
New data shakes accepted models of collisions of the Earth's crust
New research findings may help refine the accepted models used by earth scientists over the past 30 years to describe the ways in which continents clash to form the Earth's landscape. view more (2007-02-08)
Status quo of the tsunami early warning system for the Indian Ocean
The German-Indonesian Tsunami Early Warning System for the Indian Ocean (GITEWS) runs on track. Main milestones like the development of the automatic data processing software SeisComP3, as well as the underwater communication for the transmission of the pressure data from the ocean floor to a warning centre are already finalised. view more (2007-12-21)
Cornell Web site will aid Gulf Coast recovery with precise geographic data
A Web site being developed at Cornell University will give reconstruction workers and researchers access to detailed information on the status of critical infrastructure in communities along the Mississippi coast, tied in with existing information about the location of roads, bridges, public and private buildings and even economic and demographic... view more...

Earthquakes may endanger New York more than thought, says study
A study by a group of prominent seismologists suggests that a pattern of subtle but active faults makes the risk of earthquakes to the New York City area substantially greater than formerly believed. view more (2008-08-22)
RTD info digs below the surface of earthquakes
Issue 43 of RTD info delves into the latest advances in European seismology as scientists grapple to crack the hidden secrets of earthquakes in their bid to minimise the devastating impact of this deadly phenomenon. view more (2004-12-09)
A new discovery helps us to understand the complex nature of earthquakes
Álvaro Corral, a physicist at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, has discovered that the structure of the recurrence time of earthquakes, which is the time interval between successive earthquakes, is similar to the spatial structure of physics systems when they change phase in the "critical points". view more (2005-07-11)
Trapped water cause of regular tremors under Vancouver Island: UBC researchers
University of British Columbia researchers are offering the first compelling evidence to explain regular tremors under Vancouver Island. view more (2009-01-05)
NJIT architect professor advocates best-building practices for high wind regions
More than ever before, building design and construction can be significantly improved to reduce wind pressures on building surfaces and to help better resist high winds and hurricanes in residential or commercial construction, said NJIT architecture professor Rima Taher, PhD. view more (2008-07-10)
Fragmented Structure of Seafloor Faults May Dampen Effects of Earthquakes
Many earthquakes in the deep ocean are much smaller in magnitude than expected. Geophysicists from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) have found new evidence that the fragmented structure of seafloor faults, along with previously unrecognized volcanic activity, may be dampening the effects of these quakes. view more (2007-07-13)
