Tsunamis can be triggered as secondary disasters following megathrust earthquakes, with their intensity largely dependent on the magnitude of shallow seismic ruptures. Historically, considerable ...

The Yellowstone Seismic Network is designed to record ground shaking due to earthquakes. But earthquakes aren’t the only ...

A substantial earthquake of magnitude 7.6 struck in the Caribbean Sea southwest of the Cayman Islands. Occurring at 6:23 pm ...

I’m now funded by Research Ireland on a Government of Ireland postdoctoral research fellowship to look at how machine learning techniques could help us to apply seismic data in new ways.

“We can use the ambient seismic vibrations and analyze the speed of seismic waves to sense the aquifers. These are vibrations that are going on in the earth all the time from all sorts of different ...

Despite record rainfall in the region in early 2023, only a fraction of Southern California’s groundwater reserves has been replenished, researchers report. Their study, which leverages seismic noise ...

Researchers made the discovery by analysing how seismic waves from earthquakes travelled from the South Sandwich Islands in the South Atlantic Ocean to seismometers in Alaska and Canada ...

Pic: Reuters Why is it happening? Earthquakes occur when tectonic plates move suddenly along a fault line, releasing energy in the form of seismic waves. The shaking that results from these waves ...

And we see that seismic waves slow down there." Earth scientists therefore call these regions "Large Low Seismic Velocity Provinces" or LLSVPs. "The waves slow down because the LLSVPs are hot ...

Light to weak seismic activity was reported in coastal New England and weak seismic activity was felt further inland.

Two huge masses deep within Earth may have remained stable for billions of years, surviving the powerful churn of the interior, according to an analysis of seismic waves ringing throughout the planet.
