An experimental program using a 6 degree-of-freedom earthquake simulator at the University at Buffalo was executed to generate data for supporting validation of numerical models for seismic ...

In this work, a simple physics-informed stochastic earthquake catalog simulator is presented for the modeling of long memory on a single fault (or crustal volume). The simulator combines the ...

On Jan. 1, 2024, a 7.5-magnitude earthquake struck the Noto Peninsula in Japan, resulting in extensive damage in the region caused by uplift, when the land rises due to shifting tectonic plates. The ...

A new study suggests Southern California's major fault system is more stressed than at any point in the last 1,000 years.

Earthquakes can trigger slope instabilities such as rockfalls, landslides, and avalanches, posing a significant hazard for residents and infrastructures, particularly in mountainous regions. This risk ...

A groundbreaking 1,000-year simulation reveals tectonic stress along the San Andreas and San Jacinto faults has reached a ...

The next big earthquake may affect the Tri-Valley more than previously expected. New research from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) recent ...

Cal State Fullerton students were quite shaken up recently — for a good reason. CSUF was among three locations chosen statewide to host the Great California ShakeOut, providing the opportunity for the ...

The ground north and east of Los Angeles holds one of Southern California’s most uneasy meeting points. At Cajon Pass, the ...

For those curious to know what it's like to experience a 7.0 magnitude earthquake, there's a safe way to find out in San Diego County. The California Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) is bringing ...

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 ...
