Mathematical innovations from Tohoku University researchers are advancing the detection of more types—and fainter forms—of seismic waves, paving the way for more effective earthquake ...

Buried more than 3,000 miles beneath our feet, Earth’s solid inner core was once thought to be unchanging—locked in place at ...

Full Waveform Inversion (FWI) is capable of finely characterizing the velocity structure, anisotropy, viscoelasticity, and attenuation properties of subsurface media, which provides critical ...

Explore how artificial intelligence and advanced remote sensing are transforming earthquake preparedness and enhancing seismic resilience ...

This also caused a seiche — a standing wave that oscillated in the fjord for nine days, generating the prolonged seismic signal. Scientists linked the landslide to the thinning of the glacier in ...

which uses "electrical energy . . . as a wave source" that "monitor[s] seismic wave energy" on dry, wet, and frozen diabase samples. Experimentation revealed that the seismic velocities of the dry ...

Managed by the USGS, the system is designed to detect earthquakes close to the epicenter. As seismic waves spread, they are picked up by seismic stations installed in Washington, Oregon and ...
