Earthquakes are caused by a sudden release of stress along faults
in the earth's crust, not by climate change, but some new studies
suggest that melting glaciers and permafrost may influence when,
where and how often seismic activity occurs.

In this episode, hosts Graihagh Jackson and Jordan Dunbar chat to
seismologist Dr. Verena Simon from the Swiss Seismology Service
and Associate Professor of Geosciences at Colorado State
University, Sean Gallen.
