Two #earthquakes (magnitudes 4.3 and 5.2) occurred near Silver Springs today at 1:15am and 1:18am! You can see the aftershock rate pick up after those events on this #seismogram from station PWRL. PWRL was installed April 15th, the day after the 5.7, to monitor aftershocks.

Had a great time at University of Nevada Day at Washoe County. We got to talk to county employees about #earthquake and #wildfire monitoring and show Luna a seismometer!

If you're in N. Nevada you probably felt or at least heard about the magnitude 5.7 earthquake on Monday evening. Check out our video summary of the event and aftershocks on our Instagram: tinyurl.com/mrymdky9

Nevada is one step closer to having ShakeAlert earthquake early warning

Earthquake Roundup for Nov 14, 2025 to Jan 11, 2026. We had a few good shakes in Susanville, Midas, and Yerington and a false alarm in Carson City. Learn more in our Roundup Reel: tinyurl.com/4yvkssxd

Liberty Utilities is sponsoring several fire cameras in the Tahoe Basin. Camera maintenance is expensive, and the support from Liberty Utilities will help keep the cameras around the Jewel of the Sierra operating to protect those communities. Read more on Nevada Today: www.unr.edu/nevada-today...

The warning for an M5.9 earthquake near Dayton, NV this morning was an incorrect alert issued by the USGS ShakeAlert program. None of the stations in the Nevada Seismological Laboratory network detected any large earthquakes in Nevada this morning.

Earthquake Roundup for Sept 16 - Nov 13, 2025. We have 744 located earthquakes and the largest was a Mw 3.8. We are still watching the Battle Mountain area and seeing some newer clusters of activity in Central Nevada learn more in this Roundup Video: tinyurl.com/5c7w5jbr

Many of our fire cameras and seismic stations in remote locations use solar power and line-of-site microwave radio communication. For #FieldWorkFriday we have a picture from the team's upgrade of the solar panel frame at Sage Hen. See the camera feed at www.alertwildfire.org?currentFirec...

This week we deployed a mobile fire camera, with it's own solar power and satellite internet system, for a second view point of the Cottonwood Peak Fire. We call this a COW for "Communication on Wheels." The COW came to our lab on Wednesday, but it's on stand-by ready to be deployed again if needed.

Earthquake Roundup for July 16 - Aug 19, 2025. We've located 460 earthquakes and the largest was a magnitude 3.61. We’ve been watching three areas that have experienced earthquakes with magnitudes 3 or larger, find out more in our Roundup video: tinyurl.com/3a3wdd86

What does the magnitude 8.8 Russian earthquake look like on seismic stations here in Nevada? Here is a plot showing seismograms from several NV stations. The ground shook in Nevada for over 2 hours after the first P-waves arrived. More info on our Insta: tinyurl.com/jujbkvna

This massive earthquake, now reported at 8.8 has prompted a tsunami warning in Hawaii and western Alaska and tsunami watch or advisory along the west cost of the US and most of the Alaska coast. “Warning” means move inland! “Watch” means stay out of water and away from beaches.
