Researchers have developed a laboratory earthquake model that connects the microscopic real contact area between fault surfaces to the possibility of earthquake occurrences. Published in the ...

Along coastal California, the possibility of earthquakes and landslides are commonly prefaced by the phrase, “not if, but when.” This precarious reality is now a bit more predictable thanks to ...

Aon plc has launched a new earthquake model for Canada, one that takes into account the well-known risk in western provinces but also the lesser-known risk in eastern Canada.

McCloskey’s model, for example, anticipated the location of the recent Turkey earthquake, but the shaking started on a much smaller branch of the fault and then spilt over to the main part, a ...

The model, called "DiTing", is based on one of the biggest data sets of its kind in the world and can be used to spot earthquake signals, monitor seismic activity and support rapid responses to ...

That’s because this part of the country is prone to earthquakes. But it might come as a surprise that this isn’t the only part of the country where the ground could and has started shaking. Central ...
