The Mindanao region, where Davao City is located, lies within the Philippine arc, at the convergent boundary between the Philippine and Sunda (Eurasian) plates.

M7.4 just struck the coast of the #Philippines at a depth of 58.1km according to the USGS.
The #earthquake shown occurred on the western margin of the Philippine Trench, where the Philippine oceanic plate begins its subduction beneath the Mindanao microplate.
The information box highlights the main event.

I'm running for something!

The world is a complicated and increasingly scary place. Decisions made at the local level will have real impacts. That's why I'm running for a seat on the Tompkins County Legislature.

If you can afford to pitch in, I'd really appreciate your support.

Hello!!!

Does anyone have the same issue as me to try to download data from the GCMT?
It’s showing Proxy Error on the website. 😭😭😭😭

A M5.0 earthquake struck below the Sea of Marmara (Türkiye) yesterday, a little west of April's M6.2. Was this an aftershock? What does it mean for hazard? We have added a map and short discussion to our previous post, and removed the paywall. ⚒️ 🧪

A M6.9 earthquake struck Cebu island in the Philippines today, causing at least 20 deaths.

The rupture seems to have occurred on an unmapped fault, started below the ocean and continuing to the southwest, passing near populated areas of Cebu.

An hour ago, a M6.9 struck the #Philippines at a depth of 10 km. This earthquake appears to be associated with the Philippine fault system. The USGS categorized it as very strong. So far, I have no information on casualties.

stratigraphy is the key to disentangling prehistoric earthquake records for the Cascadia and San Andreas fault systems

evidence suggests that in the past 3ka, Cascadia precedes San Andreas, often over short time

Northwestern Venezuela was struck by several large earthquakes today and yesterday (M6.2, 5.8, 6.3). Why did these shallow thrust events occur in an area where previously only strike-slip earthquakes have been documented? We speculate about the geology in our latest post.

⚒️ 🧪 Were you one of the tens of thousands in the Bay Area woken up by the M4.3 earthquake last night? The earthquake occurred on the Hayward Fault, which runs along the east side of the valley.

⚒️ 🧪 Another big addition to the remarkable M8.8 earthquake sequence offshore Kamchatka: a M7.8 - the biggest aftershock so far.

With foreshocks, aftershocks, aftershocks of foreshocks, and foreshocks of aftershocks, it's hard to keep these earthquakes straight! Read more about what's going on:

A new M7.8 struck again in Kamchatka minutes ago, near the M8.8. A few days ago, another earthquake struck this area. It appears to be an aftershock of the M8.8 earthquake. The tsunami advisory is in effect: tsunami.gov

A M7.4 earthquake struck Russia's Kamchatka peninsula today: the largest aftershock so far of the great M8.8 on July 29th.

What do we see in the seismic data so far? And what are the chances of a triggered earthquake next door?

A month ago, a M8.8 struck this area.

I’m in coastal CA right now, and here are the waves from the M7.4 earthquake detected on a nearby seismometer. The waves are too small to feel but not too small to be detected. www.iris.edu/app/station_...
Horizontal lines across the screen make time. About 1/5 of the way down the page the straight lines start to get wiggly. The onset of the wiggle is marked by a purple dot, showing the arrival of the seismic waves. Map of the Bay Area showing the location of the seismometer to the southeast of Santa Cruz.
