Deep earthquakes remain one of the most puzzling phenomena in geophysics, and the phrase “mechanism that supercharges” them ...

Scientists discovered that deep earthquake faults can heal far faster than expected, sometimes within hours. Slow slip events ...

What can earthquake rupture zones teach us about earthquakes and how to predict them? This is what a five-year, $2.3 million grant awarded by the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Frontier Research ...

In central Turkey, beneath the arid plains surrounding Lake Tuz, a silent geological shift is underway. A fault zone once ...
