In central Turkey, beneath the arid plains surrounding Lake Tuz, a silent geological shift is underway. A fault zone once ...

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 ...

Using satellite radar imagery, researchers detected creeping along Garlock fault in Southern California. The phenomenon is caused by the Ridgecrest earthquakes that occurred in July. Andrew Martin | ...

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 ...

Do you recall the July earthquakes in Southern California earlier this year? Beginning on Independence Day, a 6.4-magnitude foreshock shook Ridgecrest, leading to a 7.1-magnitude main shock 36 hours ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
