A study led by geoscientists at the University of Sydney has revealed why some ancient continental edges became fertile sites ...

Research has provided new insight into the tectonic plate shifts that create some of the Earth's largest earthquakes and tsunamis. "This is the first study to employ coastal geology to reconstruct the ...

Face-to-face double subduction systems, in which two oceanic plates subduct toward each other, are essential elements of plate tectonics. Two subduction zones in such systems are typically uneven in ...

A new study from scientists at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego and the University of Chicago sheds light on a hotly contested debate in Earth sciences: when did plate subduction ...

A new study on Cascadia earthquake and tsunami risk puts one of Vancouver Island's best-known coastal communities at the centre of a difficult question: How does a small town prepare for a disaster ...

Even long-lived subduction zones eventually die, and scientists believe they are witnessing the slow death of one in the northern end of the Cascadia subduction zone. A new study using seismic data ...
