Yes, Hurricane Melissa affected seismic activity, but it did not cause a crack in the seafloor that will lead to a major ...

Supercomputer simulations of planetary-scale interactions show how ocean storms and the structure of Earth's upper layers together generate much of the world's seismic waves. Decoding the faint but ...

A satellite deployed to measure ocean surface heights was up to the challenge when a massive earthquake off the Kamchatka Peninsula triggered a Pacific-wide tsunami in late July.

Robots called "Mermaids" now floating in the oceans are helping to create images of the Earth's interior. Each robot is known as a Mobile Earthquake Recorder in Marine Areas by Independent Divers, or ...

Using a single seismometer, researchers have shown that seismic waves excited by the surf, together with the effect of the Earth's tides on the subsoil, can be used to better understand the properties ...
