The University of Texas at Austin will host an international gathering of earthquake researchers focused on better understanding the conditions that cause earthquakes and the science behind where and when they happen. The First International Earthquake Science Symposium takes place in Austin, Texas, Feb. 15-16, 2024, and brings together research scientists from the U.S., Chile,… Continue Reading Scientists to Gather at UT to Push Forward Earthquake Science
2023 Year in Review
In 2023, scientists at the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics saw their research published in top journals, including Nature and Science, received the highest honors as both scientists and students (and even one from royalty!), and led major scientific missions at sea and on ice. Here’s a few other stories you may have missed.… Continue Reading 2023 Year in Review
UT-Led Aerial Surveys Reveal Ancient Landscape Beneath East Antarctic Ice Sheet
Long before Antarctica froze over, rivers carved valleys through mountains in the continent’s east. Millions of years later, researchers have discovered a remnant of this ancient highland landscape thanks to an aerial survey campaign led by the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics (UTIG). The findings were described by researchers at Durham University and Newcastle… Continue Reading UT-Led Aerial Surveys Reveal Ancient Landscape Beneath East Antarctic Ice Sheet
Scientists Isolate Early-Warning Tremor Pattern in Lab-Made Earthquakes
Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin have successfully isolated a pattern of lab-made ‘foreshock’ tremors. The finding offers hope that future earthquakes could be forecast by the swarm of smaller tremors that come before them. The research was published in the journal Nature Communications. The next step is to replicate the results in… Continue Reading Scientists Isolate Early-Warning Tremor Pattern in Lab-Made Earthquakes
Discovery of Massive Undersea Water Reservoir Could Explain New Zealand’s Mysterious Slow Earthquakes
Researchers have discovered a sea’s worth of water locked within the sediment and rock of a lost volcanic plateau that’s now deep in the Earth’s crust. Revealed by a 3D seismic image, the water lies two miles under the ocean floor off the coast of New Zealand, where it may be dampening a major earthquake… Continue Reading Discovery of Massive Undersea Water Reservoir Could Explain New Zealand’s Mysterious Slow Earthquakes
