A newly listed Science paper points to upper-mantle seismic activity beneath East Antarctica, highlighting a research topic with major geophysical implications.

A newly published Science paper argues that structural rupture barriers help explain why some oceanic transform faults produce more predictable seismic cycles.

Researchers using seismic reflection imaging and earthquake records say the Juan de Fuca plate is splitting into fragments as it subducts beneath North America, offering a rare view of how subduction zones begin to fail.

Researchers say machine learning allowed them to track the 2025 Santorini seismic sequence in near real time, revealing more than 60,000 earthquakes and patterns consistent with magma intrusion.
