The field of geodynamics encompasses the study of the physical processes that govern the evolution of the Earth’s lithosphere, with a particular emphasis on tectonic motions and deformation patterns.

The Cascadia Subduction Zone is unusually quiet for a megathrust fault. Spanning more than 600 miles from Canada to California, the fault marks the convergence of the Juan de Fuca and North American ...

Figure 1. (A) The distributions of tectonic units and earthquakes. (B) The triangles indicate positions of the seismometers. Orange triangles represent Group 1 stations situated in proximity to the ...

Tiny tremors and temblors recently discovered in fault zones from California to Japan are generated by slow-moving earthquakes that may foreshadow catastrophic seismic events, according to scientists ...

Seismological research is directly related to the incubation, occurrence, and evolution of earthquakes. Scientists seek to reveal potential earthquake precursors by monitoring the stress state of ...

When an earthquake rips along the Cascadia Subduction Zone fault, much of the U.S. West Coast could shake violently for five minutes, and tsunami waves as tall as 100 feet could barrel toward shore.

At the Seismological Society of America's Annual Meeting, researchers posed a seemingly simple question: how wide are faults? Using data compiled from single earthquakes across the world, Christie ...

Researchers analyzing two decades of seismic data have uncovered a striking eastward migration of earthquakes along the Main Marmara Fault.
