An earthquake typically sets off ruptures that ripple out from its underground origins. But on rare occasions, seismologists ...

A mathematical trick speeds up seismic calculations for earthquake simulations and could revolutionize earthquake preparedness.

Some large earthquakes may flip direction and “boomerang” back, striking the same area twice and reshaping damage patterns.

Simulations still can't predict exactly when an earthquake will happen, but with the incredible processing power of modern exascale supercomputers, they can now predict how they will happen and how ...

Learn more about “boomerang” earthquakes and why scientists say they may be more common than previously believed.

An international earthquake simulation drill is scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 16. Campus community members for both the West Lafayette and Indianapolis locations are encouraged to participate in this ...

Are you prepared for an earthquake? The California Office of Emergency Services is making sure you are. Since California is located on the Ring of Fire and has many faults, it is one of the most ...

The Soil Box System, pictured during the assembly phase. Credit: Eric Marks/UNR To make sure our buildings and infrastructure are earthquake-safe, we must understand how seismic activity affects ...

Cal State Fullerton students were quite shaken up recently — for a good reason. CSUF was among three locations chosen statewide to host the Great California ShakeOut, providing the opportunity for the ...
