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…
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…
