An experimental program using a 6 degree-of-freedom earthquake simulator at the University at Buffalo was executed to generate data for supporting validation of numerical models for seismic ...

In this work, a simple physics-informed stochastic earthquake catalog simulator is presented for the modeling of long memory on a single fault (or crustal volume). The simulator combines the ...

A new study suggests Southern California's major fault system is more stressed than at any point in the last 1,000 years.

Earthquakes usually occur along fracture zones in Earth's crust, where large tectonic plates slide past one another and ...

On Jan. 1, 2024, a 7.5-magnitude earthquake struck the Noto Peninsula in Japan, resulting in extensive damage in the region caused by uplift, when the land rises due to shifting tectonic plates. The ...

The ground north and east of Los Angeles holds one of Southern California’s most uneasy meeting points. At Cajon Pass, the ...

California could be due for a major earthquake in the near future, according to concerning new models based on a millennium ...

Cal State Fullerton students were quite shaken up recently — for a good reason. CSUF was among three locations chosen statewide to host the Great California ShakeOut, providing the opportunity for the ...

San Andreas Fault earthquake risk hits a 1,000-year high, with a new physics-based model finding stress at record levels on ...

A groundbreaking 1,000-year simulation reveals tectonic stress along the San Andreas and San Jacinto faults has reached a ...

Scientists used supercomputer simulation to reveal the underlying mechanism by which the irregular fault geometry, characterized by multisegments, controlled the variation of the fault slip and ...
