Just after 12 a.m. Friday, another earthquake was felt throughout the region — one of hundreds that have been shaking the ...

The field of seismology has seen in recent times significant advances driven by more sophisticated sensing methods and big data. Equally important has been the continuous development of statistical ...

Seismology is the scientific study of earthquakes and the propagation of elastic waves through the Earth, while seismic exploration utilises controlled sources to image the subsurface. Collectively, ...

Welcome to your seismic update from across the state for the week of April 29, brought to you by the Alaska Earthquake Center, where we monitor ground shaking 24-7.

A network of simple seismic stations, hosted in volunteers’ homes, helped to rapidly evaluate and characterize the Mw7.2 Nippes earthquake in Haiti in 2021, as well as its subsequent aftershocks. The ...

It’s what’s inside that counts, right? Well, this cheesy expression doesn’t just apply to one’s character. When researchers analyze a planet’s subsurface, knowing what’s on the inside helps them study ...

The Seismological Society of America (SSA) will present its highest honor, the 2021 Harry Fielding Reid Medal, to William Ellsworth, professor of geophysics at Stanford University. Ellsworth, who will ...

Geophysics is the application of the methods and techniques of physics in the study of the Earth. It differs from Geology in that a geologist studies rocks and structures, which can be seen, while a ...

To predict when earthquakes are likely to occur, seismologists often use statistics to monitor how clusters of seismic activity evolve over time. However, this approach often fails to anticipate the ...

Aotearoa New Zealand experiences frequent earthquakes, including destructive ones such as those that struck Christchurch in 2010 and 2011, and near Kaikōura in 2018. In the South Island, the largest ...
