Rotorua's Mayor, Tania Tapsell, has expressed optimism that the proposed changes to New Zealand's earthquake-prone building system may trigger the possibility of reopening Rotorua's famous Blue Baths. The government's proposed changes, outlined in the Building (Earthquake-Prone Building System Reform) Amendment Bill, aim

Historically, macroseismic data were collected by US government agencies using a standardized questionnaire distributed on postcards, providing valuable information for significant 20th-century earthquakes. Researchers at the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) have successfully applied modern conventions to interpret this legacy data, revealing new insights into the 1954 Fickle Hill earthquake

Researchers from the University of Padova have published a groundbreaking study that sheds new light on the mechanisms behind earthquake physics. Through a series of rock deformation experiments, the team found that stress and structural heterogeneities play a crucial role in the occurrence of slip instabilities. Their findings challenge the

A 3.7-magnitude earthquake struck Pakistan on October 24, 2025, according to the National Centre for Seismology (NCS). The earthquake occurred at a shallow depth of 10 kilometers, making it susceptible to aftershocks. This incident comes just two days after another earthquake of similar magnitude struck the region on October
