Simulations still can't predict exactly when an earthquake will happen, but with the incredible processing power of modern exascale supercomputers, they can now predict how they will happen and how ...

Simulating the physical movements of earthquakes isn’t an easy task. However, shake tables provide an accurate and visually stimulating way to determine how a rumbler may affect a bridge, building or ...

The Energy Geosciences Division at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, or Berkeley Lab, is working in partnership with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory on a project to create a ...

The Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering at the University at Buffalo has an extensive earthquake simulation, structural testing and geotechnical engineering testing facility.

Collaboration between governmental and academic institutions is key to mitigating regional and national hazards, a reality the University’s earthquake lab understands and implements. The Center for ...

Accurately modeling the effects of an earthquake is possible, but it requires intricate physics-based models that can only be run on advanced supercomputers. The data from such models are invaluable ...

A machine-learning approach developed for sparse data reliably predicts fault slip in laboratory earthquakes and could be key to predicting fault slip and potentially earthquakes in the field. A ...

Earthquakes happen daily, sometimes with devastating consequences, yet predicting them remains out of reach. What scientists can do is map the hidden layers beneath the surface that control how ...

The University of Nevada, Reno has been awarded $12.2 million from the U.S. Department of Commerce's National Institute of Standards and Technology, it was announced Wednesday. This will fund the ...

How frequently does your company require the services of a seismic testing laboratory for performing seismic qualification testing and reporting? How frequently does your company require the services ...

This illustration featuring earthquake simulation data from the San Francisco Bay Area shows how seismic energy is shaped and directed by local geology and how buildings and infrastructure respond to ...
