A submarine telecommunications cable connecting New Zealand and Australia is doubling as an earthquake sensor, in a new trial ...

When comparing the original laser signal with the light that exits the fiber optic cable, researchers can determine the strength of the seismic wave by checking how much the beam was distorted. Data ...

Use precise geolocation data and actively scan device characteristics for identification. This is done to store and access ...

A string of earthquakes has hit Washington in recent weeks. Are they connected, and do they tell us anything about the odds ...

Solar heat may influence earthquakes and their timings by altering rock brittleness and underground water movement.

Japanese scientists have discovered new significant correlations between solar activity and earthquakes, according to recent ...

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 ...

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

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

Seismology has previously revealed that tectonic plates move, causing strain energy to build up, and that energy eventually ...

This is the startling moment a freak earthquake sent Australia's north-east into convulsions and left shocked residents 'scared' and confused amid the rare seismic activity. Geosciences ...
