Swarm of 20,000 earthquakes could make Iceland's volcanoes erupt
Lie Science
More than 20,000 earthquakes have shaken southern Iceland this week, rattling the capital city of Reykjavik and keeping geologists on their toes as all signs point to a pending volcanic eruption, the Icelandic Meteorological Office (IMO) reported on Thursday (March 4).
This week's marathon of quakes continues a swarm of seismic activity that began on Feb. 24, when a 5.7-magnitude earthquake struck near Iceland's Reykjanes Peninsula — about 20 miles (32 kilometers) from the capital city.

UCSD's earthquake risk: Outdated building infrastructures and The Rose Canyon Fault
The Guardian
Californians are primed for speculation and fears regarding when the "Big One" inevitably shakes the state. The Big One is characterized by experts as an earthquake of a 7.8 magnitude or above along the San Andreas fault; such an event is likely to be 44 times as powerful as the 1994 Los Angeles Northridge quake, which killed more than 60 people and injured upwards of 9,000.

Mid-Miocene volcanic migration in the westernmost Sunda arc induced by India-Eurasia collision
GeoScienceWorld
The migration of arc magmatism that is a fundamental aspect of plate tectonics may reflect the complex interaction between subduction zone processes and regional tectonics. Here we report new observations on volcanic migration from northwestern Sumatra, in the westernmost Sunda arc, characterized by an oblique convergent boundary between the Indo-Australian and Eurasian plates.

Oxford Uniersity Press's Blog
On the afternoon of April 27, 1859, two top-hatted businessmen, standing in a gravel pit outside the French city of Amiens, were about to change history.
