The Parkfield, California, Earthquake Experiment
September 28, 2004— M 6.0 earthquake captured. The Parkfield Experiment is a comprehensive, long-term earthquake research project on the San Andreas fault. Led by the USGS and the State of California, the experiment's purpose is to better understand the physics of earthquakes - what actually happens on the fault and in the surrounding region ...
The Science of Earthquakes
An earthquake is what happens when two blocks of the earth suddenly slip past one another.The surface where they slip is called the fault or fault plane.The location below the earth's surface where the earthquake starts is called the hypocenter, and the location directly above it on the surface of the earth is called the epicenter.. Sometimes an earthquake has foreshocks.
Shaking Up Earthquake Studies by Increasing Access to Data, Tools and
This democratization of access will aid in modernizing education and training in earthquake physics, computational modeling, software engineering and related fields. The project will engage and mentor four postdoctoral fellows, six graduate students, 15 undergraduates and 10 professionals. Ben-Zion explained that SCEC's role in the project is ...
A multi-disciplinary view on earthquake science
Bertrand: My research on earthquakes is focused on the topics of earthquake nucleation and the interaction between slip modes - the way tectonic stress is released. A variety of slip modes exist ...
National Earthquake Resilience
A National Research Council committee will develop a roadmap for earthquake hazard and risk reduction in the United States. The committee will frame the road map around the goals and objectives for achieving national earthquake resilience in public safety and economic security stated in the current, publically available strategic plan of the National Earthquake Hazard Reduction Program (NEHRP ...
USGS Seeks Earthquake Hazards Research Proposals
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is currently soliciting project proposals for Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 grants on earthquake hazards science and is authorized to award up to $7 million. Interested researchers can apply online at GRANTS.GOV under funding Opportunity Number G23AS00249. Note that all proposals submitted to the FY23 open application period are now limited to 15 pages, maximum.
Machine learning and earthquake forecasting—next steps
This work is supported by the NERC-NSFGEO 13 funded project The Central Apennines Earthquake Sequence under a New Microscrope (NE/R0000794/1). G.C.B. was supported by Department of Energy (Basic ...
Earthquakes
Abstract. Visit the USGS Earthquake Hazards Program to find out about global patterns of earthquake incidents (USGS, 2006). Can mapping earthquakes help identify fault lines? They also have a list of science fair project ideas. Another great resource for earthquake-oriented science fair projects is by Jeffery Barker (Barker, 1994).
NGA-West2 Research Project
The NGA-West2 project is a large multidisciplinary, multi-year research program on the Next Generation Attenuation (NGA) models for shallow crustal earthquakes in active tectonic regions. The research project has been coordinated by the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center (PEER), with extensive technical interactions among many individuals and organizations.
Frontiers
Earthquake Network is a citizen science research project implementing an earthquake early warning system based on smartphone crowdsourcing. People join the project by installing a smartphone application and they receive real time alerts when earthquakes are detected by the smartphone network. Started at the end of 2012, the project has involved ...

The Science of Earthquakes - the basics in brief. This Dynamic Earth: The Story of Plate Tectonics - comprehensive overview of plate tectonics with excellent graphics. This Dynamic Planet - World Map of Volcanoes, Earthquakes, Impact Craters, and Plate Tectonics. EQ101 Presentation - the basics with lots of images.
NGA East
NGA East. NGA-East is a multi-disciplinary research project coordinated by the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research center (PEER), with headquarters at the University of California, Berkeley. The project involves a large number of participating researchers from various organizations in academia, industry and government.
Earthquake Hazards Program
The USGS monitors and reports on earthquakes, assesses earthquake impacts and hazards, and conducts targeted research on the causes and effects of earthquakes. We undertake these activities as part of the larger National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP), a four-agency partnership established by Congress. Search Earthquake Catalog.
1 Introduction
For comparison, the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI) (2003b) extrapolated the FEMA (2001) estimate of AEL ($4.4 billion) for residential and commercial building-related direct economic losses by a factor of 2.5 to include indirect economic losses, the social costs of death and injury, as well as direct and indirect losses to the

National Earthquake Resilience: Research, Implementation, and Outreach
5 Conclusions— Achieving Earthquake Resilience. The advent of NEHRP in 1977, together with its subsequent reauthorizations, added substantial resources for research in seismology, earthquake engineering, and social sciences with the goal of increasing knowledge for understanding the causes of earthquakes and reducing their impacts.
Predicting earthquakes by monitoring the ionosphere
Predicting earthquakes by monitoring the ionosphere. A Laboratory project called QuakeCast uses machine learning to monitor the Earth's ionosphere for electron activity that may precede an earthquake. Earthquakes can be devastating, deadly events, and there are currently no reliable methods to predict when they will happen, the area they will ...

Earthquakes
Large-magnitude earthquakes near cities and towns can cause catastrophic devastation, destroying buildings and infrastructure. Earthquakes near coastlines or under oceans can generate tsunamis severe enough to cause extensive damage to coastal regions. Since 2015, more than 10,000 people around the world have died from earthquakes and tsunamis.
Earthquake
earthquake, any sudden shaking of the ground caused by the passage of seismic waves through Earth 's rocks. Seismic waves are produced when some form of energy stored in Earth's crust is suddenly released, usually when masses of rock straining against one another suddenly fracture and "slip.". Earthquakes occur most often along geologic ...
Tsunami and Earthquake Research

Tsunami generation from the 2004 M=9.1 Sumatra-Andaman earthquake. Initial findings on tsunami sand deposits, damage, and inundation in Sumatra - January 2005.
Earthquake Hazards
The earliest reference we have to unusual animal behavior prior to a significant earthquake is from Greece in 373 BC. Rats, weasels, snakes, and centipedes reportedly left their homes and headed for safety several days before a destructive earthquake. Anecdotal evidence abounds of animals, fish, birds, reptiles, and insects exhibiting strange ...
New study seeks to shed light on earthquake hazards in the Gallatin
Earthquakes that rupture the ground surface leave behind the telltale signature of fault scarps, which provide clues about seismic activity in the geologic past. A new study focused on scarps along the East Gallatin-Reese Creek fault system will provide more information on seismic hazards in northwest Yellowstone National Park.
