Soil liquefaction was a major feature of the 2011 Christchurch, New Zealand earthquake that killed 185 people. Researchers developed a machine learning model to predict the amount of lateral movement ...

In a new study, researchers show that machine learning algorithms could pick out different types of earthquakes from three years of earthquake recordings at The Geysers in California, a major ...

Circulating groundwater triggered a four-year-long swarm of tiny earthquakes that rumbled beneath the Southern California town of Cahuilla, researchers report in the June 19 Science. By training ...

The Holy Grail of seismology is earthquake prediction. Not forecasting, which gives a probability of a significant quake happening in an area within a period of years or decades, but actually ...

Tonight’s season finale of Hacking the Wild on Science Channel sees digital survival expert Andy Quitmeyer create an EARTHQUAKE machine to get rescued from an isolated spot in Death Valley. Watch the ...
