An updated USGS National Seismic Hazard Model (NSHM) using the latest data collection technologies indicates that nearly 75 percent of the U.S. could experience a damaging earthquake, according to the ...

The United States Geological Survey warned that nearly 75% of the U.S. could face potentially damaging earthquakes and intense ground shaking in the next 100 years. The agency shared new maps ...

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 ...

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 ...

Earthquakes may be unpredictable, but their impacts are not entirely mysterious. New modeling techniques are offering a clearer view beneath the surface.

Keywords: Molten salt, pebble-bed reactors; graphite reflector; annular tanks; seismic behavior; fluid-structure interaction; base isolation; design recommendations. Abstract: This report describes ...

In disaster mitigation planning for future large earthquakes, seismic ground motion predictions are a crucial part of early warning systems. The way the ground moves depends on how the soil layers ...

Scientists used supercomputer simulation to reveal the underlying mechanism by which the irregular fault geometry, characterized by multisegments, controlled the variation of the fault slip and ...

A team at Los Alamos National Laboratory used machine learning — an application of artificial intelligence — to detect the hidden signals that precede an earthquake. The findings at the Kīlauea ...

Here in Florida, we get hurricanes but at least we can see them coming. We're not used to earthquakes. Which is why the 4.0 magnitude quake that rattled parts of Florida's Space Coast Wednesday night ...
