A 220,000-year-long continuous large earthquake record on a slow-slipping plate boundary
Science Advances
Large earthquakes (magnitude at least 7.0) are rare, especially along slow-slipping plate boundaries. Lack of large earthquakes in the instrumental record enlarges uncertainty of the recurrence time; the recurrence of large earthquakes is generally determined by extrapolation according to a magnitude-frequency relation. We enhance the seismological catalog of the Dead Sea Fault Zone by including a 220,000-year-long continuous large earthquake record based on seismites from the Dead Sea center.

BC glaciers 38% thicker than expected, surprising study finds
Vancouver Sun
Extensive radar surveys on five glaciers in the Columbia River Basin has found the ice is 38% thicker than originally believed, according to a new study from the University of Northern British Columbia. Lead author Ben Pelto and his colleagues skied cross country on the glaciers over 182 kilometres, pulling a sled-mounted ice-penetrating radar system to collect thousands of measurements. The study considers more than 34,000 data points in the Columbia Basin and two glaciers in the Rocky Mountains.

Marine electrical imaging reveals novel freshwater transport mechanism in Hawaii
Science Advances
Conventional hydrogeologic framework models used to compute ocean island sustainable yields and aquifer storage neglect the complexity of the nearshore and offshore submarine environment. However, the onshore aquifer at the island of Hawaii exhibits a notable volumetric discrepancy between high-elevation freshwater recharge and coastal discharge.

Bird's-eye view of geology using drones offers new way to protect groundwater
University of Wisconsin-Madison
These days, researchers at the Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey are spending a little less time on the ground and more time in the air — looking at the ground. Hydrogeologist David Hart and WGNHS licensed drone operator Grace Graham are developing drone-based techniques to reduce groundwater contamination and improve drinking water quality. They are using infrared data captured by drones to protect local groundwater supplies.
