According to a peer-reviewed study published in the scholarly journal Remote Sensing in May, Israeli researchers have developed a mechanism to forecast earthquakes 48 hours in advance with 80% accuracy.

Like a giant broken-up cookie whose pieces float atop a sea of scalding milk, Earth's outer shell is made of (less-tasty) rocky rafts that constantly bump into and dive beneath each other in a process called plate tectonics.

Earthquakes shouldn’t occur more than 300 kilometers below Earth’s surface, according to most geophysical models. Yet they commonly do—a phenomenon that has mystified seismologists for decades. Now, researchers suggest water carried by tectonic plates shoved beneath continents could be triggering these deep temblors. The find may also explain another marvel: why a huge number of fist-size diamonds form at this depth.

Mobile users in Washington state gained access to the earthquake early warning system’s mobile alerts, following California and Oregon.

A 6.0 magnitude quake hits off Java, killing at least seven in the second disaster to strike the nation this week.

With a surge in InSAR data, researchers are monitoring slipping faults, flowing ice, inflating volcanoes, and sinking croplands

Google leverages the massive scale of Android to do phone-based earthquake tracking.

Seismologists said high frequency noise fell as much as 50% as planes were grounded and roads emptied

In a new study, published in the journal Nature, an international team of scientists provide the first conclusive evidence directly linking deep Earth’s water cycle with magmatic productivity and earthquake activity.

Seismic waves travelling through Earth have revealed a giant structure between Earth's molten core and solid mantle under the Marquesas Islands in the South Pacific

New research shows that every 7 to 12 minutes, a small, and safe, earthquake occurs beneath the Mauna Kea volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii.

The land masses of Japan shifted from east to west to east again in the months before the strongest earthquake in the country’s recorded history, a 2011 magnitude-9 earthquake that killed more than 15,500 people, new research shows.

An engineering team bored 2 miles into hot rock without causing major earthquakes—a good sign for harnessing the Earth's heat as a power source.

Since Texas earthquake rates first picked up in 2008, academic scientists, regulators and oil and gas companies have publicly agreed on one thing

Researchers compared quakes from Earth, the moon and Mars inside a "quake room."

No news was still unsettling for some residents.

Using data from field experiments and modeling of ground faults, researchers at Tufts University have discovered that the practice of subsurface fluid injection used in ‘fracking’ and wastewater disposal for oil and gas exploration could cause significant, rapidly spreading earthquake activity beyond the fluid diffusion zone. Deep fluid injections -- greater than one kilometer deep -- are known to be associated with enhanced seismic activity—often thought to be limited to the areas of fluid diffusion.

The nation’s energy ministry expressed ‘deep regret’, and said it would dismantle the experimental plant.

Revealed by powerful earthquakes, the subterranean structures offer exciting new clues to why our planet is a chemical oddball.

“You could call them phantom quakes,” one geologist says of the tectonic phenomena known as slow slip events.
