Most people think of seismology as the science of earthquakes that split roads or rattle buildings. In reality, it covers every vibration that ripples through the ground, whether from tectonic shifts, ...

Scientists have published an academic paper about the power of pop culture events to boost scientific understanding 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 ...

Scientists were able to use the data from a fiber optic cable and a sensitive measuring device to “image” the Mendocino earthquake – determining the magnitude, location and length of the rupture.

Seismic activity on the Red Planet – unsurprisingly called Marsquakes instead of Earthquakes – has allowed scientists to draw some conclusions about the rocky material that makes up the planet's ...

Heat from the Sun may play a role in triggering quakes here on Earth—a finding that could be used to improve earthquake predictions by factoring in solar forecasts too. This is the conclusion of an ...

ODESSA, Texas — Odessa College geology professor Joshua Hardt has spent the past five years sharing his love of earth science with students. Now, he’s helping lead a groundbreaking project aimed at ...

Tens of thousands of earthquakes shook the Greek island of Santorini and the surrounding area at the beginning of the year.

Could the seismic signal of an underground nuclear test explosion be 'hidden' by the signal generated by a natural earthquake? Could the seismic signal of an underground nuclear test explosion be ...

Ankit Saxena wants to protect nuclear reactors and other infrastructure from future seismic activity. And he sees particle dampers, a vibration-damping technology, as the key to success. To further ...
