Earthquake of the Day: 2010.02.27 M 8.8 Maule, Chile. There was an earthquake with a magnitude of M 8.8 on this day in 2010. I have prepared an interpretive poster that shows the extent of ground shaking modeled for this earthquake. The attenuation relations (how the ground shaking diminishes with distance from the rutpure) generally

Last night (my time) as I was winding down, I heard my phone go 'tinggggg.' A few moments later I got up and learned of a M 7.5 earthquake offshore of the west coast of Japan. This place has had some recent seismicity (largest magnitude M 6.5; Kato, 2023), though I did not write up

Following the largest typhoon to strike Japan in a very long time, there was an earthquake on the island of Hokkaido, Japan today. There is lots on social media, including some spectacular views of disastrous and deadly landslides triggered by this earthquake (earthquakes are the number 1 source for triggering of landslides). These landslides may

On 26 December 2004 there was an earthquake with a magnitude of M 9.2 along the Sumatra-Andaman subduction zone (SASZ). This earthquake is the third largest earthquake ever recorded by modern seismometers and ruptured nearly 2,000 km of the megathrust fault offshore of Sumatra, the Andaman Isles, and the Nicobar Isles. The 22 may 2960

Early this morning my time there was a large earthquake along the San Cristobal Trench, a segment of a convergent plate boundary formed by the subduction of the Solomon Sea plate eastwards beneath the Pacific plate. There was an M 6.1 earthquake in the slip patch region about a week ago that may have imparted

Yesterday there began a swarm of seismic activity along the southern Solomon trench. What began with a M 7.8 earthquake on 2016.12.08, there have been many aftershocks including a M 6.9 this morning (my time). Below is my interpretive poster for this earthquake. I plot the seismicity from the past month, with color representing depth

We are still all learning so much about the earthquake in Alaska and as I was winding down for the night (the last class tomorrow before the final), I noticed an email from the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center. There was a sequence of earthquakes along the subduction zone near New Caledonia and the Loyalty Islands.
