Alaska State

LOGAN, Utah — Will another big earthquake strike the Denali fault in Alaska? In 2002, a powerful earthquake along this fault, which runs 1,200 miles across Alaska and Canada, caused significant damage to remote villages and infrastructure in central Alaska. Recently, a team of researchers from Utah State University embarked on a mission to uncover the secrets of this sleeping giant.

There's been a whole lotta shakin' goin' on in Northwest Georgia over the past 30 days. And, yes, some of it likely has been in the barn. A total of six earthquakes have been recorded in the northernwestern portion of the state over the past 30 days, according to data from the US Geological Survey (USGS).

The frozen continent of Antarctica is, paradoxically, a hotbed of volcanic activity.The ice-capped region is home to some 138 volcanoes nestled beneath the snow, 91 of which were discovered as recently as 2017.Whilst most of them are considered dormant or possibly extinct, three have erupted in recent history according to the Smithsonian Institution’s Global Volcanism Program: Penguin Island in 1905; Deception Island in 1970, and Mount Erebus in 1972.The latter of these is arguably Antarctica’s most famous – winning the titles of tallest active volcano on the continent – with its summit standing at 12,448 feet (3,794 metres) – and...

A heavily populated area may experience compounding effects of shaking. A recent study published in Nature Communications reveals that a massive earthquake 2,500 years ago dramatically shifted the course of one of the world’s largest rivers. This previously undocumented seismic event rerouted the main channel of the Ganges River into present-day, densely populated Bangladesh, an area that continues to be at high risk for significant earthquakes.

Editors’ Highlights are summaries of recent papers by AGU’s journal editors. Source: Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth. Caldera formation during volcanic eruptions results from recurrent frictional slips on the caldera wall. They serve as natural rock friction experiments with a relatively well-constrained loading history. Crozier and Anderson...

Northern part of the long Pacific Ocean fault most likely to produce a major earthquake, scientists say. New research offers a clearer picture of a fault line hundreds of kilometres long off the West Coast that is predicted to generate a major earthquake and tsunami commonly known as "The Big One."

Two asteroids, including one large enough to end civilization, will hurtle past our planet this week.Researchers have given the 7,600 foot-long celestial object – the larger of the space rocks – the catchy name (415029) 2011 UL21. It’s nickname is Planet Killer: a title given to asteroids which are at least 6300-foot wide. It will fly past planet Earth at 58,000 miles per hour at approximately 4.14pm ET at a distance more than 17 times further away than the moon. Its size and proximity to the planet has seen Nasa brand it a “potentially hazardous asteroid”. Only those with a...

In a discovery that’s shaking up our understanding of ancient life, scientists have unearthed incredibly well-preserved trilobite fossils in the High Atlas Mountains of Morocco. Due to their remarkable preservation in volcanic ash, scientists are calling them “Pompeii” trilobites, drawing parallels to the Roman city buried by Mount Vesuvius....

Two large asteroids are set to safely pass by Earth this week, arriving just before Asteroid Day on June 30, according to a new report from the European Space Agency (ESA). Although neither poses any danger to our planet, one of the asteroids was discovered only a week ago, underscoring the importance of enhancing our ability to detect potentially hazardous objects in the vicinity of our planet.

An asteroid around the size of the Washington Monument is set to flash by Earth this month. The so-named 2024 MK asteroid will come even closer than the orbit of the moon on June 29 and is estimated to be around 394 to 885 feet in diameter. The asteroid could pass some 50,000 miles closer than the moon, according to NASA's Center for Near Earth Object Studies.
