The Moon, long treated as a geologically dead world, is producing seismic activity from sources that scientists are only now beginning to identify. Reanalysis of decades-old Apollo seismic records, ...

As PG&E’s aging Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant is up for a 20-year federal license renewal, one scientist cites new GPS data to suggest there’s a looming seismic threat from an active thrust fault ...

Three hundred seventeen years ago, the last really Big One let loose in our area. A great earthquake on the Cascadia subduction zone ruptured a 600 to 700 mile-long fault from Humboldt County to ...

The orange line is the current interpretation of the Keweenaw Fault location. Based on Graff and Tyrrell’s observations and analysis, the fault appears to be a system of splay faults (shown here by ...

The most broadly distributed contractional tectonic landforms on Mercury are lobate scarps 2,3,4,5. These scarps are the surface manifestation of thrust faults and are often hundreds of kilometres ...

On Saturday, a portion of the thrust fault underneath central Nepal ruptured, causing an earthquake that killed at least 5,200 people, injured more than 10,000 and destroyed centuries-old temples, ...

Figure 1: Comparison of earthquake slip determined from surface geodetic displacements with long-term interseismic coupling. Figure 2: Deformation patterns observed in Sentinel-1 interferograms for ...
