NASA and ISRO Prepare to Launch NISAR Earth-Mapping Satellite
NASA and India’s ISRO are set to launch NISAR, a first-of-its-kind Earth-observing satellite equipped with advanced dual-band radar. Scheduled to lift off no earlier than late July 2025 from Sriharikota, India, NISAR will map nearly all of Earth’s land and ice every 12 days, capturing surface changes with centimeter-level precision. Its L-band ...

Seismic Mystery Solved: NASA’s SWOT Satellite Detects Greenland Mega-Tsunamis
In September 2023, a global seismic mystery puzzled scientists for nine days. New research now confirms it was caused by two mega-tsunamis triggered by landslides in East Greenland. The waves became trapped in a fjord, forming seiches that shook the Earth. Using cutting-edge data from NASA’s SWOT satellite, scientists detected these hidden waves ...

Increased Seismic Activity at Mount Spurr Raises Eruption Concerns
Seismic activity at Mount Spurr, Alaska, has intensified over the past ten months, with recent earthquakes shifting towards Crater Peak, a vent that erupted in 1992 and 1953. Scientists estimate a 50 percent chance of an eruption at Crater Peak, though the main crater remains stable. If an eruption occurs, ashfall and air travel disruptions could b...

Earthquake Swarm Near Santorini Triggers Emergency Response from Greek Authorities
Greek authorities have closed schools and deployed emergency teams in response to an increasing earthquake swarm near Santorini. The tremors, which began last week, have been intensifying in frequency and magnitude, with the strongest recorded at magnitude 5. Experts have determined that the seismic activity is caused by fault movement, rather than...

New Algorithm Uses Fiber Optic Cables to Improve Earthquake Detection Globally
Researchers have developed an algorithm that converts fiber optic cables into seismic sensors, improving earthquake detection and early warning systems. The method integrates fiber optic and traditional seismometer data, overcoming challenges in earthquake monitoring. The technology could also help detect seismic activity in volcanoes and glaciers....

Swarm of 130 Earthquakes Rattles One of Iceland's Largest Volcanoes, Signal Possible Eruption Risk
Over 130 earthquakes struck Iceland’s Bárðarbunga volcano within hours on January 14, including a significant 5.1 magnitude quake. The Bárðarbunga system, Iceland's largest volcanic zone, has a history of major eruptions, with the 2014–2015 event producing a lava field larger than Manhattan. Experts at the Icelandic Meteorological Office ar...

Scientists Predict Under Sea Volcano Eruption Near Oregon Coast in 2025
Axial Seamount, an undersea volcano located off the coast of Oregon, is showing signs of an impending eruption, with scientists predicting it could occur as early as 2025. The volcano’s surface has been swelling, and seismic activity is increasing, both of which mirror patterns seen before previous eruptions. Researchers have been closely monitor...
