A new dynamic stress-evolution framework applied to the 2018 Hualien earthquake shows that stress gradients, rather than stress magnitudes, are ...

Italian researchers have developed a standardised workflow that cleans historical intensity data, simulates ground shaking from candidate faults, and statistically ...

A 45-year global analysis shows recorded earthquake disasters and economic losses have increased since 1980, while deaths relative to population ...

UC Riverside scientists developed a GPS-based algorithm that identified the exact section of Russia's Kamchatka subduction zone where a massive ...

Using nearly 29,000 records from 150 ocean-bottom stations in Japan's S-net network, researchers have built new prediction models showing that ...
