A new study shows that landslides, on slopes where ice retreats, can trigger massive tsunamis. Ice behaves like a shelter for rocky slopes but as it melts, the risk of massive landslides increases....
Read MoreResearchers at UC Santa Cruz found that bigger and more distant earthquakes can occur when injecting fluid into sedimentary rock than into the underlying basement rock. The evidence from this study...
Read MoreA research from scientists at Oregon State University shows that a severe earthquake can cause other quakes on the opposite side of the planet. The study, published in 2 of August 2018 (see at...
Read MoreAccording to scientists from École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne EPFL and the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris, pressurized ground water can reduce the intensity of seismic events. Undergroun...
Read MoreScientists at The Ohio State University and Cornell University have found a way to measure the health (productivity) of soils. The health of soils is very important when it comes to growing crops....
Read MoreIn a research from the University of Liverpool the 1929 Grand Banks underwater avalanche was reconstructed to better understand these common geohazards. The avalanche was triggered by the Mw 7.2 Gr...
Read MoreDam removal has become a mainstream option for dam safety management restoring river, coastal ecosystems and the human communities that depend on them. Researchers from Portland State University re...
Read MoreScientists have come up with a new method of analysis, and the secret lies with an eerie phenomenon we can best describe as 'volcano music'. A volcano in Ecuador, called Cotopaxi, with a deep cylin...
Read MoreLarge parts of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet did not retreat significantly during a time when carbon dioxide concentrations were similar to today's levels. Three major ice sheets are being closely w...
Read MoreScientists from the U.S. believe that a significant increase of earthquakes will occur beginning from 2018. Their predictions are correlated with the deceleration of the Earth's spin velocity, a ph...
