Tree rings reveal a new kind of earthquake threat to the Pacific Northwest

In February, a 7.8-magnitude earthquake shook the Turkey-Syria border, followed by one nearly as large nine hours later. Shallow faults less than 18 miles beneath the surface buckled and ruptured, causing violent focused quakes that leveled thousands of buildings and killed tens of thousands.

Flash Floods and Debris Flows After Wildfire: Process Understanding to Hazard Assessment

Increased wildfire activity and the expansion of urban corridors into mountainous terrain has amplified the potential for postfire hydrologic hazards to threaten human lives and infrastructure around the world. The initiation, magnitude, and mobility characteristics of flash floods and debris flows after fire are shaped by hydrologic, geomorphic, and meteorological factors that may obfuscate uniform mitigation measures, especially under a changing climate. We invite contributions that employ mapping, monitoring, laboratory, or modeling based techniques to facilitate characterization of postfire hydrologic hazards, as well as methods to better forecast their impacts soon after, and in the years following wildfire.

The places in the U.S. most at risk for extreme rainfall

In some areas of the country, devastating precipitation is becoming more common as the world grows warmer, according to new data released Monday by the nonprofit First Street Foundation.
