When we think about the aftermath of major earthquakes, we often first (and rightly) begin with the population. But another consideration is how such an event's effects might impact the regional and global economy. Take Tokyo, for example, in Lauren Koenig's latest for TEN. ⚒️

What would happen to global markets should a major earthquake strike Tokyo? A 2022 report considers this question. The answer? It depends. Find out more, in Temblor's latest. temblor.net/earthquake-i...

A number of papers exploring the 1886 Charleston earthquake do not agree with one another. The event and the fault it ruptured could have bent railroad tracks or uplifted terraces -- or not! @beccapox.bsky.social untangles the controversy. temblor.net/earthquake-i...

Coulomb 4.0 is available! This open source MATLAB-based software provides an interactive way for you to explore permanent (static) stress changes. For details about what you can do with this latest version, please visit Temblor's latest article. temblor.net/earthquake-i...

An earthquake that struck a remote part of Alaska on December 6, 2025 serves as an example of successful seismic hazard assessment. Temblor co-founders Ross Stein and Volkan Sevilgen discuss the event and consider both previous and future fault interactions. temblor.net/earthquake-i...

Tsunami early warning systems offer important information about impending waves. New systems, like one that uses prompt elastogravity signals (or PEGS) can increase the timeliness and accuracy of warnings. For more, check out Temblor's latest, by @beccapox.bsky.social temblor.net/earthquake-i...

In April of 2025, a M6.2 earthquake struck along the northern branch of the North Anatolian Fault Zone in Turkey's Marmara Sea. The capital city of Istanbul sits on the northern shores. In our latest, experts dive into the details. temblor.net/earthquake-i...

Just 10 days after the Kamchatka tsunami hit the shores of Samoa, the island nation received a payout from the Pacific Catastrophe Risk Insurance Company. Temblor played a role in this process. temblor.net/earthquake-i...

Temblor's analysis of the July 2025 magnitude 8.8 Kamchatka quake explores some mysteries (a moderate tsunami, a curious eruption), and finds that the 10-day foreshock was exceptionally productive. temblor.net/earthquake-i...

Around 11:30 am local time, a magnitude 8.8 earthquake struck the offshore Kamchatka region at a depth of about 20 kilometers. The subduction zone quake caused severe shaking on the Kamchatka peninsula and triggered tsunami warnings and advisories around the Pacific. (1/n)

Watch the seismic waves from the magnitude 8.8 earthquake off the coast of Russia sweep beneath seismic stations in North America. By the time the waves reached North America, they are far too small to be felt by people, but can still be detected by seismic instruments. 🧪

Temblor's latest, by @beccapox.bsky.social, looks at how modeling of slow-slip earthquakes can also help scientists understand slow-moving landslides, a common hazard along the U.S. West Coast. ⚒️ temblor.net/earthquake-i...

Need some tips to prep for West Coast quakes? This piece by @debi-kilb.bsky.social, @inseismoland.bsky.social, John Rekoske and Duncan Agnew has some advice, as well as a great discussion of the April 14 M5.2 Julian earthquake. ⚒️🧪

In Temblor's latest, @scrippsocean.bsky.social scientists discuss last week's M5.2 Julian earthquake. It caused little damage, but reminds residents in earthquake country to be prepared! Also, don't miss the fantastic animation of simulated ground motions. temblor.net/earthquake-i...

Here's Temblor's analysis of the M6.2 earthquake that struck the Marmara Fault near Istanbul. This quake was felt by a city of nearly 16 million people, but thankfully, the fault itself lies 15 km south of the city. Read more, in our latest, by Stein and Sevilgen. temblor.net/earthquake-i...
