Seismic symphonies of minor earthquakes may affect grand movements on major faults. Small and distant earthquakes can disrupt the growth of slow-slip events — gradual fault movements that can release ...

A striking video captured in Myanmar during March’s devastating 7.7 magnitude earthquake shows what scientists believe may be a first-of-its-kind recording of a surface fault rupture, the visible ...

CARBONDALE — This year’s observance of Earth Science Week at Southern Illinois University Carbondale will focus on meeting energy needs in a sustainable way on campus, in the region and beyond, along ...
