One of the reasons I could never be a serious scientist is because when I read stories about “mysterious signals” from “huge ...

A new study has investigated the use of a new monitoring technique for early warning of a volcanic eruption. The research team compared the earthquake signals during two eruptions of Ontake Volcano in ...

Learn about the escalating threat of volcanoes in Iceland and how a new warning system is helping to inform the public when ...

Lake sediment cores in Guatemala reveal directional ground shaking from the 1976 earthquake, offering rare insight into ...

Sediment cores drawn from four lakes in Guatemala record the distinct direction that ground shaking traveled during a 1976 magnitude 7.5 earthquake that devastated the country, according to ...

Normally, researchers might expect that this shaking would produce the thinnest sediment deposits in lakes furthest away from an earthquake, since seismic waves weaken as they travel away from an ...

with their seismic waveforms containing strong oscillations or coda after the arrival of the seismic surface waves. These oscillations can occur when there is water inside a crevasse, with the ...

soft soil acts like a natural amplifier of seismic waves, making even far-off earthquakes feel intense. This phenomenon isn't unique to Bangkok. Cities such as Mexico City, built on ancient ...

Underwater waves could also be used to reduce the risks of tsunamis and to improve their early warning systems.
