A new method based on optical interferometry, to monitor structural damage to buildings hit by earthquakes in real time, is ...

When the ground shakes violently, entire cities can crumble within minutes. Homes, hospitals, roads, and lives can vanish ...

Full Waveform Inversion (FWI) is capable of finely characterizing the velocity structure, anisotropy, viscoelasticity, and attenuation properties of subsurface media, which provides critical ...

The Italian city has been shaken by its strongest earthquake in 40 years, and is part of a growing pattern of seismic unrest across Southern Europe. Environmental scientist Deborah R. Coen looks at ...

When comparing the original laser signal with the light that exits the fiber optic cable, researchers can determine the strength of the seismic wave by checking how much the beam was distorted. Data ...

Researchers explore the likelihood that Earth's climate, as affected by solar heat, plays a role in seismic activity. Using mathematical and computational methods, they analyzed earthquake data ...

Collapsing buildings are the biggest cause of death during earthquakes. How should buildings they be constructed to prevent ...

While UDOT says bridges in the Magna area withstood tremors in 2020, the event helped transportation officials improve some ...

The bradyseismic crisis causing large seismic swarms in the Campi Flegrei is a consequence of the movements of one of the ...
