One of the “worst-case scenarios” with an epicenter in southeast Missouri, near Sikeston, would be the least disastrous of ...

Support from the National Science Foundation helps civil engineers like Ben Schafer improve building codes and develop more resilient, cost-effective building materials ...

and the 1995 Milpa Alta and 1985 Juchitepec earthquakes. Their model earthquakes, up to magnitude 5.5, produced ground shaking that led to different amounts of damaged buildings, with the extent of ...

Their research revealed a correlation between earthquake frequency and sunspot activity, but the underlying cause remained ...

Traditional EEW systems rely on models that establish empirical relationships between early seismic wave characteristics and final earthquake magnitudes. These models, however, have limitations in ...

Among other findings, they observed that when they included Earth surface temperatures into their model, the forecasting became more accurate, especially for shallow earthquakes. "That makes sense ...

Seismologists describe potential damage forecasts from ground shaking scenarios for moderate earthquakes in three regions of the Mexico City basin.

Recent earthquakes in the region may have raised the threat of an earthquake occurring near the Cayman Islands, according to ...

Their model earthquakes, up to magnitude 5.5, produced ground shaking that led to different amounts of damaged buildings, with the extent of the damage depending on the region's underlying geology ...
