When two major earthquakes occur within days of each other thousands of kilometres apart, it can look like they’re connected. But are they? Here’s what the science says.
The earth around you might seem static but it’s constantly in motion. We need to track this motion in fine detail if we’re to keep our GPS networks up to date.
The destruction wrought by two earthquakes in Nepal opened up a major opportunity for child traffickers.
The nuclear operator was nowhere near adequately covered for the disaster. And it’s not just a Japanese problem.
Scientists are setting Japan on the road to recovery, using data to protect against future disasters.
Christchurch is still reeling from the 2011 earthquake, but there may be more on their way.
The 2011 Japan tsunami illustrates how more marine creatures are crossing the oceans than ever before - and not all of them are friendly travellers.
Our climate is changing. But many of the devastating repercussions are little understood.
There was something unusual about the 2011 earthquake which caused so much damage in Japan. We should now look at other risk zones to see if something similar could happen there too.
Since the last earthquake in the region in 2005, we have got much better at recovering from disaster.
A magnitude 7.5 earthquake has hit Afghanistan, with the effects felt as far away as India.
Ten years ago, a devastating earthquake killed tens of thousands of people in Pakistan. How has the devastated town of Balakot recovered?
Are you at risk from natural disasters? Research shows media reports could actually reduce people’s perceptions of risk.
Earthquake monitoring can now detect a quake and warn people before it arrives.
New research shows the earthquake that struck central Nepal in April this year was only a partial rupture of the fault line, meaning another strong quake could be due in future.
Retrofitting old or cheap houses with earthquake protection is often expensive and laborious. What if we could save whole streets at a time?
How studying the injection technique involved in fracking also tells us something about earthquakes.
The magnitude 7.3 earthquake that hit Nepal this week should be classed as an aftershock rather than a second earthquake.
Politics in Nepal will hinder relief and recovery efforts following the earthquake and its aftershocks. But look at it the other way around. Could the disaster help to resolve political problems?
