An international team of researchers recently examined the potential for new a model for predicting earthquake aftershocks using a subset of machine learning known as deep learning. While government ...

Earth's structure resembles a giant onion with distinct layers, each playing a crucial role in earthquake formation. The lithosphere comprises the rigid outer shell including the crust and upper ...

HAWAII (KITV) - Hawai'i is a seismically active state, as indicated by the thousands of earthquakes recorded each year by the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory. Damaging ground shaking has occurred ...

Scientists have built a lab model that visually tracks how microscopic contact points between fault surfaces evolve during earthquake cycles, revealing the hidden mechanics behind both the slow ...

April 19 (UPI) --A new forecasting model suggests an uptick in the frequency of magnitude 4 earthquakes along certain faults can predict large earthquake events of magnitude 6.7 or larger. A few years ...

(A) Coseismic landslide inventories within the Alpine-Himalayan and Circum-Pacific belts. (B) The enlarged view of highlighted 38 earthquakes. The five Köppen-Geiger climate zones are here simplified ...

Researchers constructed a state-of-the-art model based on seismic data from the January 2020 Caribbean earthquake. The model revealed considerable complexity in rupture speed and direction, related to ...
