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 actual seismic waves to work, ...

Researchers have developed a laboratory earthquake model that connects the microscopic real contact area between fault surfaces to the possibility of earthquake occurrences. Published in the ...

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 ...

A rare, ultra-long earthquake in Myanmar revealed that mature faults can deliver their full force directly to the surface. The discovery could mean stronger shaking near faults like California’s San ...

Simulated seismic intensity patterns for the 5 September 2022 Mw 6.6 Luding earthquake in southwest China, calculated from peak ground velocity in the 0.02–0.5 Hz frequency range. Although the same ...

COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) - From the rumble of volcanoes to cracks of thunder, Earth has always been noisy. Separating noise from signal is key in many scientific fields, but where do you go to get away ...

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) - A grad student at UAF is helping with an Alaska Earthquake Center project aimed at developing a new method for better locating offshore earthquakes that could be integrated ...
