The mystery of Utah’s deep quakes

The modern Seattle fault zone cuts directly through the densely populated Puget lowlands, including Seattle and its metro area. Fifty million years ago, the continent tore in two here, setting the geologic stage for the modern faults, according to a new Tectonics study. Credit: Washington Geological Survey.

What Is the Cause of an Earthquake?

Stick-slip events in the earth cause damage like this, but limited data from these relatively rare earthquakes makes them difficult to model with machine learning. Transfer learning may provide a path to understanding when such deep faults slip. Credit: Dreamstime

Could geometry offer a new explanation for why earthquakes happen?

Magnified through a microscope, diatoms, which are a type of siliceous microalgae preserved within sediment, helped the researchers determine the salinity levels of the core samples. Photo courtesy of Jessica DePaolis.

Subduction zone splay faults compound hazards of great earthquakes

Researchers used unmanned aerial vehicle images superimposed on centimeter-resolution topography to study the surface rupture of the 2021 magnitude 7.4 Maduo earthquake in China. This image shows the fault scarp, tensional cracks on the hanging wall, and the left-laterally offset channel. Credit: Yanxiu Shao

Fault maturity or orientation: Which matters more for quakes?

Shears — or breaks caused by strain — in rock outcrops like the one pictured here could shed new light on tectonics that occur between major earthquakes in the subduction zone, according to new research.
