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 ...

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 ...

This is the moment an engineer demonstrated models of 'earthquake-resistant buildings' in China. Footage shows three plastic mini three-story buildings placed on black cylindrical isolators mounted on ...

A rare earthquake in Myanmar revealed how a long, mature fault can transmit energy directly to the surface. The discovery may change how scientists evaluate the danger posed by major faults around the ...

On December 21, 1954, Mrs. Hess was in her home in Pepperwood when the ground began to shake. She fled outside and upon reaching the porch, the shaking became stronger and threw her down the steps ...

Up to 98 percent of the energy of an earthquake goes into flash heating rocks, not shaking the ground, new research shows. The finding could help yield better earthquake forecasts The shaking produced ...

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 ...
