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 ...

The news reporters obtained a quote from the research from Stanford University, "This paper introduces a framework that unifies performance-based earthquake engineering and real estate investment ...

This new three-dimensional (3D) model of resistivity beneath the North Anatolian fault will help earth scientists more accurately identify areas at risk of major earthquakes. A new three-dimensional ...

The primary cause of death in an earthquake is not the shaking ground but crumbling roofs, crashing walls and collapsing buildings. No deaths have been reported from the most recent 7.7 magnitude ...

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 ...
