USGS has reported a magnitude 4.6 earthquake north of Indio Hills. The quake struck at around 5:56 p.m., Monday, Jan. 19, and caused serious shaking in many parts of the Coachella Valley.

Many of the state’s largest earthquakes have struck near the junction, where the Pacific, North American and Gorda plates meet. This area also forms the boundary between two infamous threats: the San Andreas Fault system, which runs across most of California, and the Cascadia subduction zone, which goes up to Vancouver Island, Canada.

Five earthquakes have rattled California’s Bay Area, putting communities from Gilroy to San Jose on alert and renewing questions about what comes next. I will walk through what is known so far about the sequence,

By tracking swarms of very small earthquakes, seismologists are getting a new picture of the complex region where the San Andreas fault meets the Cascadia subduction zone, an area that could give rise to devastating major earthquakes.

Tens of thousands of hidden earthquakes were recently discovered beneath the Yellowstone volcano by a group of international scientists, revealing ways to better inform the public of potential risks.

Scientists are using the cutting-edge satellite technology from the NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NASIR) to rethink how we understand earthquakes.

Tremors beneath Northern California show hidden plate movement, helping scientists better understand where future big earthquakes may occur.

Instead, the most prolific period of glacial earthquakes at Thwaites, between 2018 and 2020, coincides with a period of accelerated flow of the glacier’s ice tongue towards the sea. The ice-tongue speed-up period was independently confirmed by satellite observations.

Hundreds of earthquakes have been detected rattling Antarctica's Thwaites Glacier, also known as the Doomsday Glacier.

A small town in California was hit by earthquakes once every 22 years for over a century, setting the stage for a major seismic experiment in the 1980s and 90s. But the quake ended up being 11 years late.

Sometimes to truly study something up close, you have to take a step back. That's what Andrea Donnellan does. An expert in Earth sciences and seismology, she gets much of her data from a bird's-eye view,
