In the past week, California and Nevada experienced 945 earthquakes in post-atmospheric river shaking phenomenon
Ever since Southern California was struck by that historic “atmospheric river” rain event a few weeks back, which dumped trillions of gallons of water across large swaths of Ventura, Los Angeles, Orange and San Diego counties before traveling east across Las Vegas and beyond, the West Coast has been shaking with earthquakes at an incredible […]

Major volcanic eruption looms: Iceland evacuates residents of Grindavik following magma-induced seismic activity
Icelandic authorities are sounding the alarm of a possible major volcanic eruption in the country of under 400,000 people. A state of emergency has already been declared, and nearly 4,000 people in the small town of Grindavik have been evacuated following magma-induced seismic activity in the area. Nearly 100 earthquakes have been shaking the south of […]

Virginia hit by series of small earthquakes, suggesting that a larger quake is coming
Since mid-June, at least six small earthquakes have rattled various parts of Virginia, alarming residents and leaving some experts to wonder if a bigger, deadlier earthquake is coming. On July 8, a 2.6 magnitude earthquake was detected in Carroll County, near the border with North Carolina. Two days prior, a 2.7 magnitude quake once again struck […]

Gooey rocks deep within the San Andreas fault generate silent earthquakes, study finds
Seismologists have been detecting deep, silent earthquakes along the Parkfield segment of the San Andreas fault for years. These tremors occur well below the point where most seismic activity in California is recorded, leaving geologists puzzled about why they happen. Researchers from the University of Southern California and the China Earthquake Administration attempted to find out what’s […]

Carbon dioxide may be the key to unlocking vast natural gas resources, research says
Carbon dioxide may be used to help produce natural gas from deposits buried deep beneath the Earth. A recent study is proposing that air and carbon dioxide injected into methane ice deposits that are buried beneath the Gulf of Mexico could unlock vast natural energy resources. Researchers from the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) […]

The appearance of deep-sea fish in Japanese shallow waters DOESN’T mean an earthquake is about to occur, explain scientists
According to Japanese folklore, deep-sea fish such as oarfish, ribbonfish, dealfish and crestfish appearing in shallow waters foretells of an impending disaster, such as a tsunami, an earthquake or both. However, a statistical analysis of deep-sea fish sightings in Japan has now proven that this is not true. In a study published in the Bulletin of the […]

A quake in 1959 sent “time traveling” aftershocks that were felt 60 years later
Sixty years after it left a trail of death and destruction, a powerful earthquake is still making its presence felt, according to a new study. In a study published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, researchers from the University of Utah determined that the small earthquakes that rocked Maple Creek, just outside of Yellowstone volcano […]

Researchers identify CRUCIAL 10- to 15-second moment that can signal a magnitude 7 megaquake
A pair of researchers may have found a way to predict how strong an earthquake will be. Diego Melgar from the University of Oregon and Gavin Hayes from the National Earthquake Information Center of the US Geological Survey (USGS) analyzed and compared information between various databases and GPS-gathered intel. Through this, they pinpointed a specific moment during […]

Fracking triggers “potentially damaging” earthquakes, even in areas AWAY from injection sites
Earthquakes attributed to fracking operations are not limited to the areas around the injection site. A Tufts study has revealed that pumping fluids underground disturb natural networks of fault fractures that reach quite a ways off. The fracking industry relies on subsurface fluid injection to recover oil and natural gas from deep underground. It also […]
