| Abstract: | The article provides a multidisciplinary overview of recent geological and geophysical research, focusing primarily on a rare real-time observation of a strike-slip earthquake along Myanmar’s Sagaing Fault in 2025. Using CCTV footage analyzed by Kyoto University researchers, the study confirmed a rapid, pulse-like rupture with a 2.5 m lateral displacement occurring in just 1.3 seconds, offering new insights into fault dynamics. Additional topics include the rapid retreat of Austrian glaciers due to climate change, the Artemis II mission’s first human observation of the Moon’s Orientale Basin, and the pre-eruption activity of Hawaii’s Kīlauea volcano. The article also covers diverse geological studies such as the use of historical records to refine Vulcano Island’s eruptive history, a proposed link between the Meteor Crater impact and a landslide damming the Colorado River, evidence for a previously unrecognized Acadian suture in Britain, diagenesis of hydrocarbon seep carbonates, and criteria distinguishing ancient storm from tsunami deposits in coastal environments.
