BSSA special issue on rotational seismology
A special May issue of the Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America (BSSA) focuses on the emerging field of rotational seismology and its applications to engineering. View More (2009-04-27)
Media invitation: Nuclear test ban spurs research into UK`s rocky foundations
The vital role UK earth scientist play in monitoring the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CTBT), and how their research is leading to a greater understanding of what the Earth is like under the British Isles, is the subject of a two-day meeting in London on the 7th and 8th of February. Sponsored by the Royal Astronomical Society and the British Geophysical Association, the international... View More (2002-02-03)
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)
Helping to forecast earthquakes in Salt Lake Valley
Salt Lake Valley, home to the Salt Lake City segment of the Wasatch fault zone and the West Valley fault zone, has been the site of repeated surface-faulting earthquakes (of about magnitude 6.5 to 7). View More (2013-04-17)
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. View More (2007-05-22)
Monitoring Yellowstone earthquake swarms
The Seismological Society of America (SSA) is an international scientific society devoted to the advancement of seismology and its applications in understanding and mitigating earthquake hazards and in imaging the structure of the earth. View More (2009-04-10)
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. View More (2007-12-21)
New Research Uncovers Deep Origins of the 'Hawaiian Hotspot'
A new study by an international research team has opened up a window into the earth to reveal Hawaii's deep roots and the best picture yet of a plume originating from the lower mantle. The findings suggest that the Hawaiian hot spot is the result of an upwelling high-temperature plume from the lower mantle. View More (2009-12-07)
Quake prediction model developed
The third in a series of papers in the journal Nature completes the case for a new method of predicting earthquakes. View More (2009-12-04)
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)
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)
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. View More (2006-05-03)
Magnetic Tremors Pinpoint the Impact Epicenter of Earthbound Space Storms
Using data from NASA's THEMIS mission, a team of University of Alberta researchers has pinpointed the impact epicenter of an earthbound space storm as it crashes into the atmosphere, and given an advance warning of its arrival. View More (2009-05-29)

Oil exploration and drug discovery to benefit from NuTec/Daresbury high performance computing deal
More accurate prediction of the location of oil reserves and faster screening of potential new drugs could result from a new collaborative agreement between NuTec Sciences Ltd. and Daresbury Laboratory. Daresbury's Computational Science and Engineering group will work with NuTec on the development of advanced simulation software with applications from oil exploration to bioinformatics. The...

The year of the Alaska volcano: Eruptions keep observatory busy
Three Alaska volcanoes erupted in midsummer 2008. Cleveland, Okmok and Kasatochi volcanoes, all located in Alaska's Aleutian Chain, made for a hectic 20th anniversary for the Alaska Volcano Observatory. View More (2008-12-17)
Modelling earthquake risk of gas fields
Using qualitative modelling, the risk of earthquakes due to gas extraction can be determined more clearly. "This is done by using three dimensional modelling software to calculate and simulate the forces and movements around geological faults deep under the ground," says Frans Mulders who, on 3 December, will defend his PhD thesis at TU Delft. "Currently, the KNMI determines the... View More (2003-12-03)
Astrophysicists Listen to Loops Shivering on the Sun
You would imagine that a 500,000 kilometre long arch of super heated plasma releasing energy equal to the simultaneous explosion of 40 billion Hiroshima atomic bombs would be as easy to "hear" as it is to "see" - but it's not. Astrophysicists have long thought about using the acoustic waves in these flares to understand more about these gigantic events, that can be dozens of... View More (2004-02-17)
New research puts focus on earthquake, tsunami hazard for southern California
Scientists will convene in San Diego to present the latest seismological research at the annual conference of the Seismological Society of America (SSA), April 17-19. View More (2012-04-13)
Prelude to an Earthquake?
A geophysicist from the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) has identified possible seismic precursors to two recent California earthquakes, including the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake that wreaked havoc throughout the Bay Area. View More (2005-12-12)
