Will glacier melt lead to increased seismic activity in mountain regions?
A recent study from Earth and Planetary Science Letters is the first to directly link earthquakes to climate change-induced glacial melt. Scientists analyzed 15 years of seismic activity in the Grandes Jorasses - a peak that is part of the Mont Blanc massif between Italy and France - to better understand this association. This massif is one of the more seismologically active areas in the region, and examining how climate change may affect earthquakes there could prove useful in preparing for them.
