Underwater Earthquakes
Seismologists investigating
undersea earthquakes have
found that molten rock
lubricates faults. This
decreases the amount of
friction between sides of
the fault and decreases the
intensity of earthquakes.

World On Water
Geophysicists determined
that tectonic
mountain-building processes
are not the only factor that
determines elevation in
North America. The
temperature of the crust
affects its density, and

Protecting Miners
Industrial hygienists,
applying geology and
engineering, can test mine
support systems with the
only mine roof simulator of
its kind. Using up to 3
million pounds of vertical
force and 1.6 million pounds

Preparing For A Walk On The Moon
Astrophysicists found that
the moon's surface becomes
electrified during each full
moon. The moon passes
through the Earth's
magnetotail, a cone of
highly-charged particles,

Seismologists Use Ultrasounds to Assess Quakes Faster
Using ultrasound imaging, seismologists can now determine the epicenter and magnitude of an earthquake quake within 10 to 20 minutes, precisely imaging which fault ruptured and where the rupture ... > more -
Space Physicists and Atmospheric Scientists Can Now Predict Disruptions Caused by the Sun's Coronal Mass Ejections
Solar activity can wreak havoc in communications systems -- particularly during coronal mass ejections, when plumes of electrically charged particles hit earth's atmosphere. Scientists can now track ... > more -
Seismologists Build Global Listening Posts to Detect Quakes
In the Global Seismographic Network, 138 networked stations can pick up quake movement and send instant information to computers around the world. The network has passed its first real-world test: ... > more -
