A pair of 2025 magnitude 6.1 earthquakes on the Sındırgı segment of Western Türkiye’s strike-slip Simav fault zone appear to have ruptured new normal faults.
Venezuela’s doublet leaned toward Caracas
Two earthquakes greater than magnitude 7 and less than a minute apart broke the same right-lateral fault west of the capital. The physics of how they ruptured concentrated stress in the one direction Caracas cannot ignore./em> By Esteban J.

Is Southern California’s Cajon Pass an ‘earthquake gate’ ready to open?
A new paper suggests that at Cajon Pass, the stress is higher than at any time in the past thousand years. Is this finding obvious or alarming? By Ross Stein, Temblor, Inc. Citation: Stein, R.S., 2026, Is Southern California’s Cajon Pass an ‘earthquake gate’ ready to open?, Temblor, http://doi.org/10.32858/temblor.378 Southern California’s largest faults have been unusually quiet over the last century.
Philippines magnitude 7.8 shock may have loaded the central Cotabato subduction zone
The Cotabato Trench, and perhaps the southernmost Mindanao Fault, may be closer to failure as a result of the magnitude 7.8 mainshock. By Ross Stein, Temblor, Inc.
Remembering Geoffrey C.P. King (1943-2026)
A tribute to an earthquake scientist of uncommon insight, lucidity, and independence By Ross S. Stein, , Temblor, Inc. Citation: Stein, R., 2026, Remembering Geoffrey C.P. King (1943-2026), Temblor. Between 1984 and 1996, British geophysicist Geoff King and I wrote eight papers together. We worked in the field in California, Nevada and Greece, and we worked in each other’s offices and homes in Menlo Park, Cambridge, Boulder and Strasbourg.
Magnitude 6.0 earthquake strikes the Big Island of Hawai’i
A major earthquake that struck on May 22, 2026 caused multiple rockslides, damages to homes and power outages. The earthquake was the largest on the Big Island since a magnitude 6.9 earthquake in 2018.
Are Earthquake Swarms Along the Cotabato Trench echoes of a 1976 magnitude 8.1 quake?
DOST-PHIVOLCS scientists explore recent earthquake swarms off the shores of Mindanao, a southern Philippine island, and consider similarities to the devastating 1976 Moro Gulf earthquake. By Deo Carlo E. Llamas, Robelyn Mangahas-Flores, Jonard Jhon S. Acid, John Patrick S.
When Tokyo’s next big earthquake hits, could global markets crash?
A 30-year-old assessment warns that a major Tokyo earthquake could crash global financial markets. Whether this holds comes down to key decisions made under pressure, according to a 2022 report. By Lauren A.
The Earthquake that Shook the South
Bent railroad tracks and a hidden fault may provide clues to an enduring mystery about the 1886 Charleston earthquake. But not everyone agrees. By Rebecca Owen, science writer (@beccapox/@beccapox.bsky.social) Citation: Owen, B., 2026, The Earthquake that Shook the South, Temblor, http://doi.org/10.32858/temblor.373 Few people think of South Carolina as a hotspot for earthquakes. Yet on August 31, 1886, one of the most destructive earthquakes in United States history struck Charleston.
Introducing Coulomb 4.0: Enhanced stress interaction and deformation software for research and teaching
Coulomb 4.0 is open source MATLAB software designed for interactive exploration and visualization of earthquake and volcanic processes. The software can easily incorporate ancillary data, it integrates the ISC earthquake toolbox and USGS finite fault models, and produces publication-ready graphics.
