Diego Melgar earned his PhD in geophysics from Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego in 2014. He came to Scripps in search of cutting-edge earthquake science — and found not only ...

The seismic activity generated by Taylor Swift’s concerts in Dublin in 2024 provided a unique opportunity for scientific engagement and education, according to the authors of a groundbreaking new ...

Earthquakes don’t occur everywhere. They occur along the boundaries of the earth’s tectonic plates, along either known active faults or dormant faults. The East Coast is crisscrossed with ancient ...

We tend to think earthquakes are predominantly driven by deep-Earth forces. But in Kenya’s Lake Turkana Rift, researchers recently found that as surface water levels dropped roughly 100 to 150 meters ...

Earthquakes happen daily, sometimes with devastating consequences, yet predicting them remains out of reach. What scientists ...

Researchers studying a massive landslide in Alaska have detected strange seasonal seismic pulses caused by water freezing and thawing in rock cracks. These faint signals could become an important ...

EU researchers are exploring how undersea communication cables can double-up as environmental and seismic sensors—a potential game-changer for early warning systems. Beneath the world's oceans, a ...
