A new earthquake model lets scientists watch miniature earthquakes happen in real time, exposing how tiny surface contacts drive the entire rupture process. This could radically improve our ...

The model is based on earthquakes of magnitude 5.0 or higher; more noticeable damage usually doesn’t occur until an earthquake reaches magnitude 5, Peterson said.

Researchers have developed a physical earthquake model that connects the microscopic real area of contact between fault surfaces to earthquake occurrences, offering new insights into earthquake ...

Researchers have developed a laboratory earthquake model that connects the microscopic real contact area between fault surfaces to the possibility of earthquake occurrences. Published in the ...

Hawaii also faces potential earthquakes due to recent volcanic eruptions and seismic unrest. There hasn't been a comprehensive assessment of Hawaii's earthquake risk published since 1998, and the ...

Nearly 75% of the U.S., including Alaska and Hawaii, could experience a damaging earthquake sometime within the next century, ... Serving as the latest seismic hazard model since 2018, ...

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 ...

Noto quake 3D model adds dimension to understand earthquake dynamics. On New Year's Day 2024, a massive 7.5-magnitude earthquake struck the Noto Peninsula in north central Japan, ...

Aon plc has launched a new earthquake model for Canada, one that takes into account the well-known risk in western provinces but also the lesser-known risk in eastern Canada.
