2006 tectonic plate motion reversal near Acapulco puzzles earthquake scientists
A reversal of tectonic plate motion between Acapulco and Mexico City in the last half of 2006 probably didn't ease seismic strain in the region or the specter of a major earthquake anticipated there in the coming decades, says a University of Colorado at Boulder professor. view more (2007-08-03)
FSU classics professor exploring a 'lost' city of the Mycenaeans
Along an isolated, rocky stretch of Greek shoreline, a Florida State University researcher and his students are unlocking the secrets of a partially submerged, "lost" harbor town believed to have been built by the ancient Mycenaeans nearly 3,500 years ago. view more (2008-03-12)
Scientists identified earthquake faults in Sichuan, China
Only last summer research published by earth scientists in the international journal Tectonics concluded that geological faults in the Sichuan Basin, China "are sufficiently long to sustain a strong ground-shaking earthquake, making them potentially serious sources of regional seismic hazard." view more (2008-05-19)
New research reveals hidden earthquake trouble spots
A team from the University of Leicester has used a powerful laser mounted on an aircraft to uncover earthquake fault lines that are hidden by forest cover and never before seen by earth scientists. view more (2006-11-08)
Ancient glaciers still affect the shape of North America, say scientists
Long after the disappearance of the glaciers that once covered much of North America, the land they rested upon is still recovering from their weight - and the slow movement of this recovery includes horizontal motion never seen before. view more (2005-12-15)
New CIESM Monograph
Human records of recent geological evolution in the Mediterranean Basin-historical and archaeological evidence. This is one of the most ambitious volumes produced yet in the young -- and already sizeable - CIESM Workshop Monograph collection. This 152 page- report, edited by Jean Mascle and Frederic Briand, is rich in thoughts, analyses,... view more... (2004-05-26)
Hazard mitigation can save money
An ounce of prevention may actually be worth a pound of cure, especially if the actions taken are to reduce losses from natural hazards, such as tornados, hurricanes or flooding, according to a Penn State researcher. view more (2006-01-23)
Scientists return from first ever riser drilling operations in seismogenic zone
he Deep-sea Drilling Vessel CHIKYU successfully completed riser drilling operations on Aug. 31, for IODP Expedition 319, Stage 2 of the Nankai Trough Seismogenic Zone Experiment (NanTroSEIZE). view more (2009-09-08)

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)
Pacific Northwest tectonic plates are moving
he three major tectonic plates off the Pacific Northwest coast are undergoing a gradual shift, and the area in which they converge - popularly known as the "Triple Junction" - appears to be migrating in a southeasterly direction. view more (2006-04-12)
Major flooding risk could span decades after Chinese earthquake
Up to 20 million people, thousands of whom are already displaced from their homes following the devastating Chinese earthquake, are at increased risk from flooding and major power shortages in the massive Sichuan Basin over the next few decades and possibly centuries. view more (2008-09-05)
Researchers report successful riser-drilling operations in seismogenic zone
Kumano Basin off Kii Peninsula, approximately 58 km southeast of Japan- Despite harsh atmospheric and ocean conditions, and complex geological characteristics of its drill site, the deep-sea drilling vessel CHIKYU, for the first time in the history of scientific ocean drilling, conducted riser-drilling operations to successfully drill down to a... view more...

San Andreas Fault Observatory at Depth reveals new insights into the 'earthquake machine'
The San Andreas Fault Observatory at Depth (SAFOD)-the first underground observatory to provide physical samples and real-time seismological data from deep inside an active fault zone-is yielding surprising new clues about the origin of earthquakes. view more (2005-12-06)
Invitation to the Media - Environmental Catastrophe Hits London
A major interdisciplinary conference on environmental catastrophes in the recent geological past will be held at Brunel University from 28 August to 2 September 2002. All media are welcome to attend, by prior arrangement with the Conference Organiser (see Further Information). Although the Conference is being promoted by the Geological Society of... view more...

A century after 1906 earthquake, geophysicists revisit 'Big One' and come up with new model
Almost a century after the 1906 earthquake, Stanford geophysicists have revisited San Francisco's ''Big One'' and now paint a new picture of a fault that was ready to go and that ruptured farther and faster than previously supposed. view more (2005-12-06)
Scientists: Earthquakes, El Ninos fatal to earliest civilization in Americas
First came the earthquakes, then the torrential rains. But the relentless march of sand across once fertile fields and bays, a process set in motion by the quakes and flooding, is probably what did in America's earliest civilization. view more (2009-01-20)
Scientists find evidence that structural damage to the Alhambra is due to seismic activity
The Granada Basin, home to the Alhambra, is located in one of the most seismically active zones in the Iberian Peninsula. Historical evidence shows that the last major earthquake occurred there in 1431. New evidence indicates, however, that the topographical features of the area surrounding the Alhambra reflect recent and recurrent, though... view more... (2004-04-13)
