Seismic hazard assessment and ground motion prediction are critical fields that underpin earthquake engineering and risk mitigation strategies worldwide. By combining probabilistic methodologies with ...
Most earthquake energy turns into heat rather than ground shaking, sometimes hot enough to melt rock in microseconds. MIT’s ...
Simple fiber-optic cables that are essential for powering the internet can be a useful tool in spotting geohazards such as ...
Monitoring ocean waves has long relied on buoys and satellite altimetry, which, although accurate, can be expensive to ...
Howard University professor Claudia Marin-Artieda at the NEES at Buffalo laboratory with her research team and the "Yahoo frame." With 40 servers installed, the frame was shaken with servers in ...
MIT scientists have unraveled the hidden energy balance of earthquakes by recreating them in the lab. Their findings show that while only a sliver of energy goes into the shaking we feel on the ...
Tokyo, one of the world's most densely populated megacities, sits on a highly active seismic zone where the threat of major ...
Researchers have designed a new type of gravitational wave detector that operates in the milli-Hertz range, a region ...
