As a result, seismologists are keen on using physics-based simulations to predict ground motions, essentially filling in the ...

Computer modeling illustrates 10 to 30-foot waves surging across the Pacific Ocean, as a result of a potential mega-earthquake in the Alaska Aleutian subduction zone.

The Hayward fault line has not had a major earthquake since 1868, but new simulations designed by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have found the Bay ...

An earthquake typically sets off ruptures that ripple out from its underground origins. But on rare occasions, seismologists have observed quakes that reverse course, further shaking up areas that ...

Sustained supershear earthquake ruptures produce distinct ground motion characteristics compared to subshear earthquakes, according to a study published in the Bulletin of the Seismological Society of ...

Thunder can send enough energy into the ground to create seismic waves that researchers can use to see underground. Penn ...

On January 1, 2008, at 1:59 am in Calipatria, California, an earthquake happened. You haven’t heard of this earthquake; even if you had been living in Calipatria, you wouldn’t have felt anything. It ...
