Italy’s Apennine Mountains mystery: Why is Earth’s crust slowly ‘unzipping’ deep underground, and what is happening beneath the surface?
1+ day, 13+ hour ago (470+ words) Scientists studying Italy’s Apennine Mountains have found a strange process deep below the surface. The Earth’s crust in this region appears to be slowly pulling apart, almost like a zip opening from underground. The finding comes from researchers at the…...
In New Research, Alpine Geologist Traces the Forces Behind the Big Bend’s Dramatic Landscapes
2+ day, 12+ hour ago (521+ words) It’s a hallmark of any westering journey beyond the Pecos in Texas. As woodlands give way to plains and desert, the land itself seems to stretch, the horizons to widen. It reflects a geological reality. The American West is slowly…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 9004: Construction of a Long-Lived Hydrothermal Architecture for W, Au-Sb Deposits During Variscan Belt Thermal Collapse, French Massif Central (330–295 Ma)
2+ day, 10+ hour ago (412+ words) Since pioneering fluid-flow models for the Iberian and French Variscan belt, advances in geochronology, thermochronology, and geodynamic modeling have improved our understanding of late Variscan crustal evolution. New datasets suggest tungsten and gold mineralization do not represent distinct metallogenic events,…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 8995: Numerical Modelling of One-Dimensional Wave Propagation in Deposits: Influence of the Effective Shear Strain Definition on the Equivalent Linear Method Solution
2+ day, 13+ hour ago (488+ words) Seismic site response analysis plays a fundamental role in predicting earthquake ground motions at the ground surface by accounting for soil effects on wave propagation. Although advanced nonlinear methods can accurately simulate complex soil behaviour, their use in routine engineering…...
Seafloor Geology
4+ day, 10+ hour ago (97+ words) Part way through Dive 07 of the 2026 American Samoa ROV + Mapping Exploration expedition, seafloor geology shifted from terraces and sheets to possible pillows and ferromanganese-encrusted flows and cobbles intermixed. The shift in structure did not seem to significantly impact the biological…...
Maximum earthquake magnitude unlikely to be controlled by subduction interface roughness | Nature Geoscience
2+ day, 17+ hour ago (1641+ words) Nature Geoscience (2026) Cite this article a, The maximum observed magnitudes from smallest to largest and their corresponding maximum interface coupling. b, Cross-plots of the two observables. The high correlation factor R2 = 0.65 for the least-squares fit demonstrates a strong, positive, linear relationship…...
Reducing earthquakes caused by fracking – Sciworthy
2+ day, 15+ hour ago (172+ words) The team used the model to compare how a site like this would respond to the instant shut-in method versus the other shut-in methods. They found that the tapered shut-in method increased pressure and stress in the rock, while the…...
3D seismic study in Amapá begins after Morpho discovery
3+ day, 8+ hour ago (510+ words) Shearwater Geoservices y SLB they started a multi-client 3D seismic study off the coast of Amapá, Brazil, in an area that has sparked greater exploratory interest following the discovery of Morpho hydrocarbons, carried out by Petrobras. The campaign takes place at…...
Scientists Discover New Way to Identify Earthquake Strike Zones
3+ day, 9+ hour ago (469+ words) Home > General Studies > New Way to Identify Earthquake Strike Zones Scientists develop a new method using GPS data to identify earthquake strike zones, detect locked faults, track tectonic strain and improve earthquake risk assessment. By Sagar Sharma - Sep 9, 2026, 22:55 IST Scientists…...
Submerged ocean on Enceladus
4+ day, 6+ hour ago (163+ words) Saturn’s moon Enceladus is one of many moons in the solar system thought to have a liquid ocean beneath its icy exterior. Southwest Research Institute scientists modeled disruptive collisions to understand how they may have affected ocean formation in moons....
