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 ...

Earthquakes may be unpredictable, but their impacts are not entirely mysterious. New modeling techniques are offering a clearer view beneath the surface.

In their rapid characterization of the magnitude 6.8 Al Haouz earthquake in Morocco, researchers suggest that the earthquake ruptured roughly 25 kilometers deep beneath the surface. In their rapid ...

Train professional engineers in advanced methods of engineering analysis and modeling for exploration, simulation and optimization of mechanical engineering systems. Develop theoretical understanding ...

On Saturday December 6, 2025 Alaska was rocked by a 7.0 magnitude quake. On average, about 55 earthquakes strike daily, according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), totaling some 20,000 ...

Earthquakes can be deadly and disastrous. But what we feel may constitute a tiny sliver of an earthquake’s destructive energy, according to a new experiment. In a recent AGU Advances paper, ...
