A deep spatiotemporal neural network trained on more than 36,000 earthquakes offers a new way of quickly predicting ground shaking intensity once an earthquake is underway, researchers report. A deep ...

Measuring earthquakes is no easy task, given they strike suddenly and sometimes at global scale. When the Earth’s crust shifts abruptly, an earthquake occurs, with energy radiated out as seismic waves ...

Learn how seismic-resilient bridge design uses advanced materials, curved geometry modeling, shape memory alloys, and performance-based methods to reduce earthquake damage and downtime.

Earthquakes and seismic activity often happen with sudden movements underground with tectonic plates. Seismographs are used by scientists to measure the time, location and strength of an earthquake.

About 55 earthquakes a day – 20,000 a year – are recorded by the National Earthquake Information Center. Most are tiny and barely noticed by people living where they happen. But some are strong enough ...

The Fourth of July Ridgecrest earthquake measured 6.4 magnitude. It was the strongest quake to hit Southern California in years, but it was actually significantly less powerful than some earlier ...
