Study Finds Magnitude 7.5+ Earthquake Potential on Canada's Tintina Fault

  • A new study indicates that the Tintina Fault in the Yukon could produce earthquakes up to magnitude 7.5, posing significant risks to nearby communities like Dawson City.
  • The study published in Geophysical Research Letters found evidence of recent geological activity along the 600-mile-long fault line.
  • Researchers highlight the need for further studies to assess the fault's seismic potential and its implications for public safety.
  • Current earthquake risk maps in Canada do not adequately reflect the hazards of the Tintina Fault, according to Geoscience Research Manager Jan Dettmer.
