Using data from earthquakes in in 1985, 1995, 2018 and 2023, the model can predict different damage outcomes for different ...

Support from the National Science Foundation helps civil engineers like Ben Schafer improve building codes and develop more ...

For decades, seismologists have worked to understand and predict earthquakes, but forecasting remains elusive. Now, ...

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

Tectonic plates move, causing strain energy to build up, and that energy eventually releases in the form of an earthquake. As ...

Traditional EEW systems rely on models that establish empirical relationships between early seismic wave characteristics and ...

Researchers explore the likelihood that Earth's climate, as affected by solar heat, plays a role in seismic activity. Using mathematical and computational methods, they analyzed earthquake data ...

Our world-class research program in earthquake and structural engineering focuses on understanding how key infrastructure stands up to extreme forces such as an earthquake. We simulate earthquake ...
