Geologist urges seismic shift in process for selecting EarthScope study sites
EarthScope, an enormous, nationwide earth science project, is poised to revolutionize understanding of earthquakes, fault systems, volcanoes and the North American continent's structure. view more (2005-10-17)
New Madrid fault system may be shutting down
The New Madrid fault system does not behave as earthquake hazard models assume and may be in the process of shutting down, a new study shows. view more (2009-03-16)
Loma Prieta Fault Not So Weak?
A new study adds to evidence that the fault responsible for the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake is not as unusually weak as had been thought. view more (2007-12-20)
MESSENGER discovers an unusual impact basin on Mercury
A previously unknown, large impact basin has been discovered by the MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging (MESSENGER) spacecraft during its second flyby of Mercury in October 2008. view more (2009-05-01)
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)
UK should introduce a no-fault compensation system
It is time for the UK to introduce a no-fault compensation system in dealing with clinical negligence, argues a senior doctor in this week’s BMJ. view more (2003-05-07)
Scripps Studies Offer New Picture of Lake Tahoe's Earthquake Potential
For more than a decade, scientists at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego have been unraveling the history of fault ruptures below the cobalt blue waters of Lake Tahoe one earthquake at a time. view more (2009-04-30)
Tiny tremors and earthquakes provide intriguing clues about seismic activity, study finds
The elusive science of earthquake prediction has been reinvigorated in recent years with the discovery of "non-volcanic tremors"—faint vibrations that originate deep inside active fault zones. view more (2006-07-13)
Scientists cable seafloor seismometer into state earthquake network
A newly laid, 32-mile underwater cable finally links the state's only seafloor seismic station with the University of California, Berkeley's seismic network, merging real-time data from west of the San Andreas fault with data from 31 other land stations sprinkled around Northern and Central California. view more (2009-03-19)
New evidence shows New Madrid Seismic Zone may be cold and dying
New results about the temperatures of rock deep below the New Madrid Seismic Zone in the central United States shed light on the puzzling questions of why large earthquakes happened there in 1811 and 1812 and when they may happen again. view more (2006-12-12)
New activity on old fault lines: French earthquake no surprise
The relatively powerful earthquake that hit eastern France last Saturday confirms the findings of the postgraduate research currently being conducted by Gideon Lopes Cardozo at the Université Louis Pasteur in Strasbourg and the Faculty of Earth and Life Sciences at the VU Amsterdam. Lopes Cardozo is investigating the causes of earthquakes... view more... (2003-02-27)
Newly discovered active fault building new Dalmatian Islands off Croatian coast
A newly identified fault that runs under the Adriatic Sea is actively building more of the famously beautiful Dalmatian Islands and Dinaride Mountains of Croatia, according to a new research report. view more (2008-01-23)
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)
K-State researchers study how children view and treat their peers with undesirable characteristics
A study by Kansas State University researchers is looking at how children perceive and interact with peers who have various undesirable characteristics, such as being overweight or aggressive. view more (2009-07-31)
To a Fault: The Bottom Line on Earthquakes
Although many people think that California "owns" all the earthquakes, Ohio also has its share of faults. Unlike another earthquake that woke people on another April 18, 102 years ago, this quake was fairly mild. view more (2008-04-23)
First few seconds of earthquake rupture provides data for distant shake warnings
A University of California, Berkeley, seismologist has discovered a way to provide seconds to tens of seconds of advance warning about impending ground shaking from an earthquake. view more (2005-11-10)
The impact of 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake -- 20 years later
The Loma Prieta earthquake transformed the earthquake sciences and engineering and remains a major focus of study, some twenty years later. The 17 October 1989 magnitude 6.9 Loma Prieta earthquake severely shook the San Francisco and Monterey Bay regions and initiated major changes in earthquake science and engineering, disaster response and... view more...

AMPUTATION AND PROSTHESIS OF THE BIG TOE IN ANCIENT EGYPT
Pathological research of human remains in the cemetery of the capital of ancient Egypt suggests that ancient Egyptians were the pioneers of amputation and prosthetic surgery, conclude investigators in a study published in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Andreas Nerlich and colleagues from Ludwig-Maximilians-University, Munich, Germany,... view more... (2000-12-21)
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)
Slip rate along the Lijiang-Ninglang fault zone estimated from repeating microearthquakes
The China Digital Seismic Network (CDSN) provides excellent opportunities to quantify the kinematics and characterize the dynamics of the active fault systems in China. view more (2008-12-22)
