The United States has dealt with a flurry of earthquakes this month, raising concerns about "The Big One." Last week, the ...

"However, by investigating faults and past quakes, scientists can better assess the likelihood of future earthquakes and how intense their shaking might be." The new model shows that the ...

A new study on the Cascadia fault line breaks down the flooding potential of a 9.0 earthquake, calculating the risk of where ...

The latest version of the U.S. Geological Survey’s earthquake hazard model, issued last week, shows “a chance for greater shaking” from earthquakes in California than previous iterations ...

The model, called "DiTing", is based on one of the biggest data sets of its kind in the world and can be used to spot earthquake signals, monitor seismic activity and support rapid responses to ...

Researchers found that a potential powerful earthquake combined with rising sea levels could lead to a mega tsunami.

Using fault geometry data, scientists simulated the Noto Peninsula earthquake and explained why uplift varied so drastically ...
