Tectonic Plate Fissure May Explain Lisbon Earthquakes
A newly discovered fissure in the tectonic plate off the coast of Portugal, forming for at least five million years, is causing delamination and may explain the 1755 and 1969 Lisbon earthquakes; scientists used ocean-floor seismometers and computational models to make the discovery.

Kamchatka Volcano Erupts After Magnitude 8.8 Earthquake
A magnitude 8.8 earthquake in Kamchatka, Russia, preceded the eruption of the Koryaksky volcano on August 3, 2024, sending a six-kilometer-high ash plume eastward toward the Pacific Ocean; no populated areas are at risk, but a flight warning is in effect.

Loevestein Castle: Cracks in the Walls, Echoes of Grotius
Hugo Grotius, a 17th-century Dutch jurist, was imprisoned in Loevestein Castle in 1621 for supporting Johan van Oldenbarnevelt; today, geologists study cracks in the castle walls, inspired by Grotius's confinement, using precise hourly measurements to monitor structural integrity.

Kamchatka Earthquake Triggers Multiple Volcanic Eruptions
A powerful 8.8 magnitude earthquake near Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula on July 29 triggered the eruption of at least four volcanoes—Klyuchevskaya Sopka, Shiveluch, Bezymianny, and Karymsky—after centuries of dormancy, highlighting the interconnectedness of geological systems along the Pacific Ring of...

Revised Age of Western Australian Impact Crater Pushes Back Formation Date by Almost a Billion Years
Researchers have revised the age of a newly discovered impact crater in Western Australia's Pilbara region from 3.5 billion years to 2.77 billion years old after discovering shatter cones in younger basalt layers, impacting our understanding of early Earth's geological history. The crater, now propo...

Curiosity Rover Finds Evidence of Ancient Groundwater on Mars
NASA's Curiosity rover found unique "boxwork" patterns on Mars' Mount Sharp, formed by groundwater minerals hardening and eroding, providing evidence of underground water even as the Martian climate dried. The patterns, found in a region with magnesium sulfates and calcium sulfate veins, are located...

Mount Etna: Persistent Volcanic Activity and Landslide Threat
Mount Etna, a stratovolcano in Sicily, Italy, presents ongoing threats due to its persistent Strombolian eruptions, potential for larger events, and the slow, but potentially catastrophic, sliding of its eastern flank toward the Ionian Sea, posing risks to nearby populations and infrastructure.
