New in #GSABulletin: The 23 January 2024 Mw 7.0 Wushi earthquake in the SW Tian Shan (China) produced no surface rupture. Instead, a Mw 5.7 aftershock one week later generated an ~4-km-long surface rupture with >1 m vertical offset. UAV, field, and seismic analyses reveal

Awal pagi Jumat, 4 Juni 1909, sekitar jam 1.30, gempa besar mengguncang wilayah Kerinci di Jambi. Ribuan rumah rata tanah, termasuk juga lumbung dan masjid. Setidaknya 230 orang dilaporkan meninggal, sementara ribuan lain terluka. Reruntuhan gempa di kampung Lolo Gedang ⬇️
