Today, new research shows how quickly the San Andreas Fault is moving and what that means. On the March 24 episode of “SoCal Update,” we understand why scientists are taking note of a series of ...

A study published in the journal Tectonics has provided new insights into the forces that cause tectonic movements in Europe's most seismically active regions. Researchers used advanced satellite data ...

A massive fault line that was long considered dormant is showing signs of activity, raising concerns among scientists and residents alike. Recent seismic events have prompted a re-examination of this ...

Earthquake faults deep in the Earth can glue themselves back together following a seismic event, according to a new study led by researchers at the UC Davis. The work, published Nov. 19 in Science ...

Using single calcite crystals with varying surface roughness allows engineers to simplify the complex physics that describes fault movement. Researchers now show how this simplification may lead to ...

This aerial image of the San Andreas Fault in the Carrizo Plain shows numerous curved drainages where fault slip has stretched stream channels to the left. Eventually, the channels get ‘reset’ when ...

LOS ANGELES >> A major California fault capable of producing a magnitude 8 earthquake has begun moving for the first time on record, a result of this year’s Ridgecrest earthquake sequence ...

A major California fault capable of producing a magnitude 8 earthquake has begun moving for the first time on record, a result of this year’s Ridgecrest earthquake sequence destabilizing nearby faults ...

The bulging of the Garlock fault line in California can be seen from space and it's moving in ways never seen before, raising the question for Californians if it raises the risk of "The Big One." The ...
