Osaka, Japan — Slow earthquakes have been discovered to exhibit anomalously slow, long-lasting and small slips, adjacent to regular earthquakes where we sometimes feel catastrophic vibration (Fig. 1).

Earthquakes happen daily, sometimes with devastating consequences, yet predicting them remains out of reach. What scientists can do is map the hidden layers beneath the surface that control how ...

Four earthquakes up to magnitude 4.0 shook Louisiana, raising questions about hidden faults, seismic risks, and the region’s rarely studied geology.

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, ...

A 70-foot-long, 52-ton concrete bridge survived a series of earthquakes in the first multiple-shake-table experiment in the University of Nevada, Reno's new Earthquake Engineering Lab, the newest ...

These words were the rallying cry for nine brilliant minds that came together for spectrUM’s Sci Kids Engineer It! camp on Friday. The camp invited kids to create “earthquake proof” buildings, design ...

Kyoto, Japan -- Predicting earthquakes has long been an unattainable fantasy. Factors like odd animal behaviors that have historically been thought to forebode earthquakes are not supported by ...

Predicting earthquakes before they happen is currently impossible, but scientists are edging closer and closer with new and innovative ways to monitor movements in Earth's crust. In this excerpt from ...

When an earthquake occurs, most of us think about the ground shaking. But recent research shows that shaking is just a small part of what is happening. In fact, most of the energy released during an ...
