What's New in NewQuake
1.5
August 22, 2026
Volcanoes now stay on the Map for as long as they are erupting, with the Smithsonian Global Volcanism Program weekly activity report filling in eruptions other agencies close early. Subduction faults on the Map always show which plate is diving beneath the other, and how fast it moves. A new Depth card on every event page puts the quake depth in context, against the seafloor above it and, where one is mapped, the subducting slab it sits on. Tsunami forecasts now read straight from the official bulletin, so the assessment matches what the agency actually issued. A faster, smoother Map: quicker launch, better-paced rupture replays, and a refined Last week M5.5+ quake tour.
