What do we know about the M8.8 earthquake that struck offshore Russia yesterday? We explore patterns in the foreshocks and aftershocks, compare the USGS seismic catalog with a local seismic database, and compare the event to the great 1952 earthquake.

⚒️ 🧪

A M8.8 earthquake just ruptured the subduction zone offshore Russia’s Kamchatka peninsula. This is one of the world’s truly huge earthquakes, and a triggered tsunami is currently traveling across the Pacific ocean.

This same fault ruptured on July 20th in a M7.4, and last August in a M7.1.

So happy to see this finally being published: a new coastal lake record of tsunami inundation from south-central Chile (including a tsunami caused by the CE 1737 earthquake...)
