Dr Ouzounov and Dr Khachikyan study the possible effect of solar wind on earthquakes, based on findings that show a link between strong earthquakes and geomagnetic storms, especially in areas under the polar cusp during storm events.

Could the summer 2025 earthquake awakening be provoked by magnetic storms?

Dimitar Ouzounov (1,2) and Galina Khachikyan (3) expertly walk us through the strong earthquakes awakening in July and August of 2025, which geomagnetic storms could have provoked in June 2025.
