Geological Digressions

General Seismic Upheavals

General mayhem in the earth; earthquakes, plate tectonics, volcanoes, tsunamis, landslides

 

Measures of temperature in the bowels of the earth

When North becomes South; the flip-side of earth’s magnetic field

Striped oceans and drifting continents

It only takes a moment; the ups and downs of earthquakes

There are two sides to every fault

Tsunamis behave as shallow-water waves

The earth moved; GPS, earthquakes, and slow-slip

The brutality of Surtsey’s laboratory

An Italian job; seismic risk-assessment at risk

Submarine mud flows and landslides modified Kaikoura canyon during the November M7.8 earthquake

The Moine Thrust: An idea that unravelled mountains

Bits of North America that were left behind
