The recent understandings about global earth mechanics are widely based on huge amounts of monitoring data accumulated using global networks of precise seismic stations, satellite monitoring of gravity, very large baseline interferometry, and the Global Positioning System. New d…

Scientists continue to work hard on mitigating the effects of earthquakes, by understanding and forecasting them better. The study of coseismic effects on the natural environment creates a solid base of empirical data for the estimation of source parameters of strong earthquakes…
"Scientists have identified Seattle, Portland, and Vancouver as the urban centers of what will be the biggest earthquake, also called a mega-quake, in the continental United States. A quake will happen--in fact it's actually overdue. The Cascadia subduction zone is 750 miles lon…

Assesses the cities and communities at critical risk of devastating earthquakes, and asks what we can do to protect them.
In a media interview in January 2010, scientist Robert Yeats sounded the alarm on Port-au-Prince, Haiti, as an 'earthquake time bomb', a region at critical risk of major seismic activity. One week later, a catastrophic earthquake struck the city, leaving over 100,000 dead and tr…
