The Mission Creek and Banning faults are two principal strands of the San Andreas fault zone in the northern Coachella Valley of southern California. The two faults merge at depth to form one fault ...

Researchers studied quartz from the San Andreas Fault at the microscopic scale, the scale at which earthquake-triggering stresses originate. The results could one day lead to a better understanding of ...

The geometric structure of rocks where earthquakes occur could play a key role in determining their location and strength, researchers have found. A study, carried out by geologists at Brown ...

Daniel Trugman, assistant professor in the Nevada Seismological Laboratory (NSL), and Avigyan Chatterjee, doctoral student in the NSL, have published a research article in the journal Nature about how ...

Ground fissures and tectonic faults represent critical structural features within sedimentary basins, where the interplay of regional stress fields, depositional environments and, at times, human ...

CHEYENNE, Wyo. — Scientists have completed the most detailed map yet of the geologic fault at the foot of the Teton Range, one of the most visually striking and potentially dangerous seismic areas in ...

Covering about 71% of the planet, the ocean is pivotal in shaping global climate, ecosystems, and natural resource availability. Focusing on ocean circulation and geological processes in the Western ...

On December 30, 2025, an earthquake measuring 2.2 on the Richter scale occurred 51 miles southwest of Burwash Landing, Alaska. This seismic event, recorded at a depth of 2.5 miles (4 km), has raised ...

Participants in the recent UW field course in Moab, Utah, are, from left: students Titus Timbers, Austin Quillinan, Jack McKinley, Logan Gray, Rachel Bryan, Aditya Srivastava, Phoebe Futcher, Abigail ...
