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...

Shenzhou-15 Spacecraft Debris Burns Over Los Angeles During Uncontrolled Reentry
On April 2, 2024, debris from China's Shenzhou-15 spacecraft lit up the Los Angeles sky during an uncontrolled reentry. Scientists employed seismic data to track the sonic booms generated by the debris, analysing its path, speed, and fragmentation. This novel use of seismic tools highlights the risks of increasing space debris and the potential to ...

Study Reveals Ultra-Low Velocity Zones May Be More Common in Earth's Mantle Than Previously Thought
A new study published in AGU Advances has unveiled intriguing findings about ultra-low velocity zones (ULVZs) in Earth's mantle, suggesting these mysterious features might be more widespread than previously thought.ULVZs, which are known to dramatically slow seismic waves by up to 50%, have long been associated with volcanic hotspots such as Hawaii...
