Stable isotopes show that earthquakes enhance permeability and release water from mountains
T. Hosono, C. Yamada, et al.
This study reveals fascinating insights into how large crustal earthquakes affect groundwater, showing significant permeability increases and groundwater level rises in response to the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake. Conducted by Takahiro Hosono, Chisato Yamada, Michael Manga, Chi-Yuen Wang, and Masaharu Tanimizu, this research has important implications for understanding hydrological changes in seismically active regions.
