Seismic hazard assessment and ground motion prediction are critical fields that underpin earthquake engineering and risk mitigation strategies worldwide. By combining probabilistic methodologies with ...

When a 1.5-ton Chinese spacecraft came screaming back to Earth over Southern California last April, something unexpected happened. While radar lost track and satellites couldn’t see through the fiery ...

Researchers are developing ground-improvement methods to help increase the resilience of homes and low-rise structures built on top of soils prone to liquefaction during strong earthquakes. Findings ...

According to a study recently published in the journal 'Nature Communications Earth & Environment', the first signals emitted by an earthquake can trace the evolution of ground fractures over time.
