▪ Abstract Recent developments in volcanic seismology include new techniques to improve
earthquake locations that have changed clouds of earthquakes to lines (faults) for high …

While mantle convection is a fundamental ingredient of geodynamics, the driving
mechanism of plate tectonics remains elusive. Are plates driven only from the thermal …

We show a correlation between the occurrence of shallow thrust earthquakes and the
occurrence of the strongest tides. The rate of earthquakes varies from the background rate …

We investigate the cause of seismicity bursts by examining a waveform‐relocated catalog for
southern California between 1984 and 2002 and systematically identifying 71 isolated …

Episodes of nonvolcanic tremor and accompanying slow slip recently have been observed
in the subduction zones of Japan and Cascadia. In Cascadia, such episodes typically last a …

Fluids are known to be of major importance for the earthquake generation because pore
pressure variations alter the strength of faults. Thus they can initiate earthquakes if the crust …

The strong tidal triggering of mid-ocean ridge earthquakes has remained unexplained
because the earthquakes occur preferentially during low tide, when normal faulting …

The May 2018 rift intrusion and eruption of Kīlauea Volcano, Hawai 'i, represented one of its
most extraordinary eruptive sequences in at least 200 years, yet the trigger mechanism …

Clear evidence for earthquake triggering by the earth tides has remained elusive for more
than a century. Using the largest global earthquake catalog available (the NEIC catalog with …

Many decades of experimental and theoretical research on the origin of life have yielded
important discoveries regarding the chemical and physical conditions under which organic …
