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 ...

March 20 (UPI) --Thanks to a high-resolution simulation run by a supercomputer in Germany, scientists are learning new details about New Zealand's 2016 Kaikoura earthquake and its underlying ...

Researchers solving today’s most important and complex energy challenges can’t always conduct real-world experiments. This is especially true for nuclear energy research. Considerations such as cost, ...

BACK TO YOU GUYS. ALL RIGHT. THANKS SO MUCH, BRIAN. SO IF AN EARTHQUAKE WERE TO HIT, WOULD YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO DO? WELL, RIGHT NOW, CAL OES WANTS TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ARE ...

Shaking the rust off people’s emergency preparedness skills, an earthquake simulator that has been touring the state ahead of California’s annual drill stopped at Cal State Fullerton on Wednesday, Oct ...

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 ...
