An updated USGS National Seismic Hazard Model (NSHM) using the latest data collection technologies indicates that nearly 75 percent of the U.S. could experience a damaging earthquake, according to the ...

In disaster mitigation planning for future large earthquakes, seismic ground motion predictions are a crucial part of early warning systems. The way the ground moves depends on how the soil layers ...

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 ...

The United States Geological Survey warned that nearly 75% of the U.S. could face potentially damaging earthquakes and intense ground shaking in the next 100 years. The agency shared new maps ...
