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, ...

A new 3D subsurface model shows how variations in rock strength beneath the Marmara Sea could trigger future large earthquakes along the North Anatolian Fault. The findings improve understanding of ...

Scientists give verdict on popular theory that massive Himalayan earthquake is ‘overdue’ - Major quakes are just as random ...

A new theoretical study explores how activity high above Earth could subtly influence processes deep within the planet’s crust. Researchers at Kyoto University are advancing a new idea about how space ...

Scientists discovered that deep earthquake faults can heal far faster than expected, sometimes within hours. Slow slip events in Cascadia reveal repeated fault movements that only make sense if the ...

USGS geologists Josie Nevitt and Beth Haddon make measurements of fault rupture. (Ben Brooks, USGS) The U.S. Geological Survey and the Global Earthquake Model Foundation signed an agreement that will ...

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 ...
