Confirming the megathrust fault line off Haida Gwaii offers a path to improve tsunami modelling in a zone that has produced ...

After a tsunami advisory in WA, many are asking how much warning time we’d get if a major earthquake and tsunami were to ...

Scientists investigate the Cascadia Subduction Zone off the Pacific Northwest, and the potential for a catastrophic tsunami.

Coastal California's Crescent City has been known as the tsunami capital of the country for decades. Here's why.

The 8.8-magnitude earthquake off the Russian coast last week should serve as a wake-up call for the U.S., which is "overdue" ...

An earthquake centered near Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula last week has been called a “wake-up call” for the Pacific Northwest. More important, it should revive thoughts about the threat of a major ear ...

The newly completed S-net and N-net networks allow near-instant detection of seismic activity along entire subduction zones. Meanwhile, Cardiff University in Wales has adapted nuclear explosion ...

The wave could come from the Cascadia Subduction Zone, which is a 700-mile fault line from northern California in the USA to British Columbia in Canada that has laid dormant for 300 years.

When enough stress builds, the fault will rupture, releasing a massive amount of energy. The Cascadia Subduction Zone has the potential for these types of earthquakes and has ruptured in the past.

By better understanding these mechanisms, researchers hope to identify other at-risk zones like the Cascadia Subduction Zone near the U.S. coast. The unprecedented precision of the sensors used paves ...

The Tintina fault is thought to have been inactive for more than 40 million years, but new research suggests that earthquakes ...
