Study reveals seismic shift in methods used to track earthquakes
The team, led by scientists from the University of Edinburgh, says that the new method, which uses data collected from earthquakes, potentially allows the Earth's seismic activity to be mapped more comprehensively. View More (2009-09-02)
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 moderate, seismic activity. The research is published...

Homing in on a potential pre-quake signal
Changes in seismic velocity--changes in the speeds at which seismic waves move through the Earth's crust--have been identified during and after many earthquakes. View More (2012-08-03)
Major population centers may be at risk; building codes must reflect new seismic data
Earthquakes in stable continental regions lack sufficient understanding to prepare local populations for future seismic activity, according to a paper published in the February issue of the Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America (BSSA). View More (2007-02-08)
Deadly mine 'bump' was recorded as seismic event
The University of Utah Seismograph Stations recorded a magnitude-1.6 seismic event at the time of a Thursday, Aug. 16 "bump" that killed and injured rescuers at a Utah coal mine where six miners were trapped by an Aug. 6 collapse. View More (2007-08-20)
EARTH: Well-healed faults produce high-frequency earthquake waves
Much like our voices create sound waves with a variety of low and high pitches, or frequencies, earthquakes produce seismic waves over a broad spectrum. View More (2013-03-11)
Scientists detect seismic signals from tornado
An Indiana University geophysical experiment detected unusual seismic signals associated with tornadoes that struck regions across the Midwest last week -- information that may have value for meteorologists studying the atmospheric activity that precedes tornado disasters. View More (2012-03-08)
No Redoubt: Volcanic eruption forecasting improved
Forecasting volcanic eruptions with success is heavily dependent on recognizing well-established patterns of pre-eruption unrest in the monitoring data. View More (2013-04-30)
Earthquakes Happen at Full Moon
Russian physicists have found that flashes of neutron radiation from the Earth surface are bound to increasing in seismic activity. They believe that this phenomenon can be used as a novel kind of earthquake foreboding. The researchers of the Department of Cosmic Radiation of the Research Institute of Nuclear Physics at Moscow State University have noticed that at new moon and full moon periods...

City of Ottawa sits atop soil, geologic features that amplify seismic waves
Engineers and city planners study surface geology in order to construct buildings that can respond safely to earthquakes. View More (2012-10-03)
EARTH: Better warnings for consequences of earthquakes
Global seismic hazard maps exist to help societies and decision-makers anticipate and prepare for earthquakes. View More (2012-05-30)
Researchers distinguish waves from mine collapses from other seismic activities
Researchers have devised a technology that can distinguish mine collapses from other seismic activity. View More (2008-07-11)
Processing seismic waves emanating from the ocean bottom
Iban Rodr'guez Barbarin, a telecommunications engineer from Pamplona, has carried out a study on processing seismic waves emanating from the ocean's floor. View More (2003-11-25)
10 years of Soufriere Hills Volcano research published
The Soufriere Hills Volcano on Montserrat erupted in 1995, and an international team of researchers has studied this volcano from land and sea since then to understand the workings of andesite volcanos more completely. View More (2010-11-19)
Scientists find increase in microearthquakes after Chilean quake
By studying seismographs from the earthquake that hit Chile last February, earth scientists at the Georgia Institute of Technology have found a statistically significant increase of microearthquakes in central California in the first few hours after the main shock. View More (2011-02-25)
URI geologist develops improved seismic model for monitoring nuclear explosions in Middle East
Geologists from the University of Rhode Island and Princeton University, in collaboration with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, have taken an important step toward helping the United States government monitor nuclear explosions by improving a 3-dimensional model originally developed at Harvard University.

New seismic hazard assessment for Central America
A new study evaluates the seismic hazards for the entire Central America, including specific assessments for six capital cities, with the greatest hazard expected for Guatemala City and San Salvador, followed by Managua and San José, and notably lower in Tegucigalpa and Panamá City.

Why do earthquakes stop?
The underlying structure of a fault determines whether an earthquake rupture will jump from one fault to another, magnifying its size and potential devastation. View More (2008-02-06)
European researchers successfully predict a major earthquake
Earthquakes are by far the most deadly natural disasters in the world. Since 1975, they have killed over 340,000 people. Since the beginning of this century, they have caused an average of 20,000 deaths each year. Unfortunately, until recently, there was no reliable scientific technique for forecasting forthcoming earthquakes. View More (1999-06-24)
The Strange Rubbing Boulders of the Atacama
A geologist's sharp eyes and upset stomach has led to the discovery, and almost too-close encounter, with an otherworldly geological process operating in a remote corner of northern Chile's Atacama Desert. View More (2011-10-12)
