On New Year's Day 2024, a massive 7.5-magnitude earthquake struck the Noto Peninsula in north central Japan, resulting in extensive damage in the region caused by uplift, when the land rises due to ...

An international study published in Communications Earth & Environment has advanced earthquake simulations to better anticipate the rupture process of large earthquakes. Using data for the Turkey ...

CORVALLIS, Ore. — Researchers as Oregon State University have developed a new 3D model that allows them to take a closer look at what’s happening beneath the earth’s surface along the Cascadia ...

On a sunny morning in September 1985, a massive earthquake killed more than 9,000 people in Mexico City, even though the epicenter of the earthquake was some 200 miles away. The worst damage happened ...

Researchers at IIT Guwahati have developed a framework for designing earthquake-resistant 3D-printed concrete walls, potentially revolutionising construction in seismic zones.

A new 3D model is giving scientists a clearer look at what’s happening deep beneath the Marmara Sea and where the next major earthquake near Istanbul might start. By mapping underground rock ...

Three-dimensional fault models are generally more accurate than two-dimensional line models at sending ground shaking alerts to the correct areas as part of an earthquake early warning system, ...

A new international study seen in Communications Earth & Environment and led by King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) Professor Martin Mai and scientist Bo Li has advanced ...

Scientists used supercomputer simulation to reveal the underlying mechanism by which the irregular fault geometry, characterized by multisegments, controlled the variation of the fault slip and ...
