A new paper posits that southern California's Cajon Pass may serve as an 'earthquake gate' that, when open, allows earthquakes to keep on going, and when closed, stops them in their tracks. Temblor CEO Ross Stein provides his assessment of this work. temblor.net/earthquake-i...

Saturday marked the 120th anniversary of the great 1906 San Francisco earthquake. Temblor CEO Ross Stein read a passage from Jack London's story of the quake over a montage put together by @kpixtv.bsky.social reporter Brian Hackney. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUnE...

I managed to catch an interview with Ross Stein from @temblorinc.bsky.social talking about the 1906 earthquake from Jack London’s perspective on this evening’s @kpixtv.bsky.social newscast.

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...

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...
