“Sí; se podría producir un nuevo tsunami en Canarias”. Así, se expresa el vulcanólogo Joan Martí, director de Geociències Barcelona (CSIC), que ha capitaneado
The magnitude-7.3 earthquake that struck off the coast of Mindanao, Philippines, this week could have inflicted heavy damage had the quake been shallow and onshore.
© USGS A view of Kīlauea’s summit lava lake. The lava lake is contained within a crater, which is set within the larger Halema‘uma‘u Crater. New research aims to understand the activity that led to the eruption in 2018 in Kīlauea’s lower East Rift Zone.Kīlauea in Hawaii is the best-monitored volcano in the world. The 2018 eruption was the largest in some 200 years, providing researchers with a plethora of new data to understand the volcano's plumbing and behavior. Two new studies dig into data on volcanic tremor and deformation to better characterize the events leading up to and ...
A recent study found that Mexico City is sinking at a rate of up to 20 inches per year. Researchers explained that this unstoppable plunge occurs because the ground on which the city rests [...]
Systematic Triggering of Large Earthquakes by Karst Water Recharge: Statistical Evidence in Northeastern Italy National Institute of Oceanography and Applied Geophysics – OGS, Udine, Italy It is known that surface water accumulation by natural or anthropic causes like precipitation and reservoir impoundment can trigger earthquakes. The phenomenon is amplified and sped up in karst areas, where fracture systems can store large quantities of water and facilitate its percolation to seismogenic depths, increasing both elastic stress and pore pressure on pre-existent faults. The present work expl...
