Apr. 6, 2021 Comparison of coda waves, the scattered waves that arrive after the direct waves of a seismic event, can be used to determine the relative locations of two underground explosions, according to a new ...
Sep. 27, 2023 The mechanism facilitating the smooth movement of the oceanic lithosphere over the underlying asthenosphere (upper mantle) remains poorly understood. Recently, researchers from Japan investigated the ...
July 7, 2021 Although wastewater disposal has been the primary driving force behind increased earthquake activity in southern Kansas since 2013, a new study concludes that the disposal has not significantly ...
May 12, 2022 A new method of detecting mega earthquakes, which picks up on the gravity waves they generate by using deep-learning models, can estimate earthquake magnitude in real time and provide earlier warning ...
Aug. 1, 2023 A new study uses nearly a century of data to show that the average heights of winter waves along the California coast have increased as climate change has heated up the ...
Apr. 13, 2021 A new method was developed for high-resolution detection of landslides based on seismic data. This method was applied to detect landslides that occurred during the transit of Typhoon Talas across ...
June 3, 2021 A complex zone of folding and faulting that links two faults underneath downtown Salt Lake City could deform the ground during a large earthquake, according to a new ...
Jan. 25, 2021 To predict when earthquakes are likely to occur, seismologists often use statistics to monitor how clusters of seismic activity evolve over time. However, this approach often fails to anticipate the ...
Dec. 7, 2021 At the crushing pressures of Earth's lower mantle (670-2890 km deep), electrons were long ago predicted to swap dance partners, an effect that has escaped geophysical detection for decades until ...
Sep. 21, 2021 Researchers have calculated moment tensors for 130 underground nuclear and 10 chemical test explosions that took place at the Nevada National Security test ...
