The University of Bristol–led study, published in Nature Communications, could help millions of people living in ...

A decade-long study of earthquake activity in California has provided the strongest evidence to date that forecasting models ...

A decade-long California experiment has tested how reliably scientists can forecast earthquake activity over the following 24 ...

When a slab slides beneath an overriding plate in a subduction zone, the slab takes on a property called anisotropy, meaning its strength is not the same in all directions. Anisotropy is what causes a ...

The final size of an earthquake typically cannot be predicted from its ongoing seismic radiation. Expanding observations reveal distinct exceptions, such as slow earthquakes, injection-induced ...

Catastrophe risk modeling firm AIR Worldwide said Tuesday it has updated its earthquake models for South America. The updates on the models are based on new data about seismic risk in the area. This ...

Newswise — RICHLAND, Wash.—There’s been a seismic shift in science, with scientists developing new AI tools and applying AI to just about any question that can be asked. Researchers are now putting ...

On Jan. 1, 2024, a 7.5-magnitude earthquake struck the Noto Peninsula in Japan, resulting in extensive damage in the region caused by uplift, when the land rises due to shifting tectonic plates. The ...

Earthquakes usually occur along fracture zones in Earth's crust, where large tectonic plates slide past one another and become locked. Stress builds up over long periods and is suddenly released in ...

USC Engineering Insights - When a major earthquake hits Los Angeles, our best traffic models will be reading a map that no longer exists. USC Viterbi professor Cyrus Shahabi is building the system ...
