NEW ANIMATION! Earthquake!! Shaking up Central America

Whereas transform-fault and shallow-crustal-intraplate earthquakes have dominated the recent history of deadly and destructive earthquakes in Central America, we should never underestimate the potential destructive power of subduction zone earthquakes.

NEW ANIMATION! - Faults, Plate Boundaries, & Stress

Earth’s thin, brittle outer shell of rock is under a constant state of stress. This animation explores how this stress impacts the formation of small local faults, and broader tectonic plate boundaries.

SCIENCE AND PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS

Stormquakes

Stormquakes

 New research presents evidence that strong storms produce seismic surface waves that are distinct and measurable. The name for these newly discovered geophysical phenomenon? Stormquakes.
Bears vs. Seismic Stations

Bears vs. Seismic Stations

 Many animals encounter sites where seismic equipment has been installed but most animals leave these sites alone after a cursory glance or sniff. In contrast, bears appear to be enticed to visit station sites and investigate the seismic equipment, sometimes causing significant damage. What's a seismologist to do?
