New study shows that seasons affect the impact of earthquakes

According to a new study, recently published in Seismological Research Letters, the season an earthquake strikes may affect the ground's response and the damage on infrastructure. The research team f...

Deep landslides triggered by the 1964 Alaska earthquake were not re-activated in the 2018 Anchorage earthquake

According to a new study, published in Seismological Research Letters, the deep landslides that were triggered by the massive M 9.2 Alaska earthquake in 1964 were not re-activated by the M 7.1 earthq...

New findings about Martian landslides

A new study, published in Nature Communications, reveals new evidence about Martian landslides. The surface of Mars consists of large ridges that were formed 400 million years ago and were a result...

Rice irrigation affected a massive, earthquake-induced landslide in Indonesia

Back in 2018, massive landslides were triggered after a Mw 7,5 earthquake struck the city of Palu, Indonesia. According to a new study, published in Nature Journal, rice irrigation may have exacerbat...

Greenland's thick ice slabs may cause sea level to rise

Sea level may rise by 10 centimeters due to the presence of thick ice slabs in Greenland. A new study, recently published in Nature, suggests that climate change not only affects Greenland's glaciers...

New volcanic eruption prediction model

Researchers from the University of Illinois and the University of Michigan have developed a new technique to predict a volcanic eruption. In the new study, published in the Journal Geophysical Resear...

Soil hydraulic properties affected by climate change

According to a new study, published in the journal Science Advances, soil hydraulic properties can be affected by altered precipitation caused by climate change. The impact of climate change could re...

A supposedly dormant fault may cause a large earthquake in Los Angeles

According to a new study, a fault previously considered as dormant may cause a Mw 6.4 earthquake in the region of Los Angeles. The Wilmington blind‐thrust fault is located deep beneath the LA area. I...
