11,000 hidden earthquakes exposed a vast magma network beneath one of Earth's most active volcanic regions
Scientists have uncovered more than 11,000 previously hidden earthquakes beneath Russia's Klyuchevskoy Volcanic Group using machine learning, exposing an intricate network of magma pathways deep below one of the world's most active volcanic regions. Published in Geophysical Research Letters, the study found that deep long-period earthquakes often occur before shallower seismic activity, offering new clues about how magma moves through the crust. The findings could improve volcano monitoring by helping researchers detect subtle underground changes that traditional earthquake catalogs have missed.
